About this trip

Corc Yoga and Hotel Hacienda de Abajo invite you to join us for a tailor made 5 night/6 day retreat in the beautiful island of La Palma designed to give you a holistic experience, focused on well-being, personal growth and connection to nature while immersing you in the rich cultural heritage of La Palma.  


During this retreat, you can expect to participate in daily yoga classes led by Katja Schütz, an experienced local teacher from the island and Founder of Slomo Yoga. The daily classes may include various styles of yoga, such as Hatha, Vinyasa, or Yin and are designed to cater to different skill levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners.


As part of this experience, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the island's history as we take you to visit nearby historical sites, connect with nature as we explore the natural beauty of La Palma and indulge in nourishing and wholesome meals prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. For the ideal history and art lover, La Palma is known for its well-preserved colonial towns, where you can wander through narrow cobblestone streets and learn about the island's past. 

Hotel Hacienda de Abajo

Awarded as the best historic hotel in Europe (Historic Hotels Awards of Excellence), Hotel Hacienda de Abuja is nestled in the historic quarter of Tazacorte on the island of La Palma, the most important agricultural area in the Canary Islands and the result of the meticulous restoration of a seventeenth-century sugar plantation estate.


The hotel is surrounded by a landscape of lush and rich vegetation, embraced by a coastline lapped by an ocean of pure and intensely blue waters and blessed with a warm and sunny climate with profusely starry nights making it the ideal destination for the practice of yoga.

I had a wonderful experience on this trip. Everyone involved in putting this retreat together, and the retreat itself, was amazing. I am so grateful this opportunity came to me a week before it began and I was able to be a part of this journey. I am very much looking forward to the next event Cork Yoga puts together!
