This was my first yoga retreat and it was amazing. The setting could not have been more perfect, peaceful and quiet. The food was wonderful and so much of it. Thank you for making my birthday special, a cake and present. The yoga was something different every day and this was achievable with two different teachers, both with their own styles and experience. Especially loved the chanting on our last evening as it isn’t anything I have experienced before. Huge thanks to Paloma and Sam. Xxx

I thoroughly enjoyed the retreat. Our yoga time was for me magical. The accommodation was clean and very comfortable The scenery and location fantastic Sam our yoga teacher as always was inspiring and a total pleasure. Her ability to lead a group in a wonderful practice is outstanding. Paloma introduced meditation with such skill and who yoga while at times challenging was amazing The staff who prepared our food were such a credit to the organisation However. I feel to charge customers for tea and coffee was completely wrong. Tea and coffee should be freely available in the restaurant and the cabins. While the food was delicious it was often cold and often not enough for both groups of people staying at the retreat. These issues would seriously stop me returning to this venue. As food is an important part of any retreat or time away.

Hi Angela. Thank you for your 5 stars review. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the time, the yoga and the meditation classes, the beautiful scenery and the accommodation. We also enjoyed a lot of having you in the group! We have notified your comments about the meals to the retreat center. As you said, as the food was delicious, some dishes on the buffet were finished fast, and in a few occasions the chefs didn't have enough time to serve more quantity. The retreat next year will be in another venue, which we will rent in exclusivity, just for our group, as we usually do. We have been there several times and we use to hire our own privates chefs, so I am sure everything will flow easily. Warm regards. Paloma

Después de unos días por Lanzarote de vuelta a la vida cotidiana, solo puedo decir de este viaje que me ha aportado mucho tanto física como mentalmente, por no hablar de las bonitas experiencias que hemos vivido todos juntos. También me he traído a casa muchas ideas y nuevas metas gracias a este retiro. Ha sido una experiencia impresionante, me siento muy afortunada de haber podido formar parte de ella! Muchísimas gracias a Paloma y Adela por la magnifica organización, os espero ver muy pronto!

I just returned from Tarifa, Spain! Everyday and for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we watched from across the shores, the different changing sceneries of the spectacular African Coast! The experience was just extraordinary -from the gorgeous venue, to the expansive surroundings to the incredible beautifully prepared gourmet vegetarian meals! We bathed in alot of wonderful yoga with our beloved teacher Jeanne Heileman, took in moonlight sightings, the Mediterranean Sea, fabulous massages, new lovely friiendships et al. It was so wonderful, healing and so deliciously romantic that I felt I married myself! 🥰 Definitely a must do for people needing self care and practicing self love. Thank you Paloma and SHAMA for such an amazing experience! This was so special. 🙏

I recently had the pleasure of attending Shama Retreats Yoga in Nature, and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the entire retreat. One of the standout aspects of the retreat was the amazing teacher, Jeanne Heileman. Her deep wisdom and knowledge of yoga philosophy and anatomy were evident in every class. Jeanne has a unique ability to connect with her students on a profound level, guiding us through transformative yoga practices that went beyond the physical postures. Her teachings left a lasting impact on me, and I felt a deeper understanding of yoga and its principles. The retreat was beautifully organized, thanks to the incredible hostess, Paloma. Her attention to detail was exceptional, and she ensured that every aspect of the retreat was taken care of. Paloma's passion for creating a memorable experience was evident in the carefully planned excursions throughout Tarifa. Exploring the stunning surroundings, from the picturesque beaches to the charming town, added an extra layer of magic to the retreat. Now, let's talk about the food. The meals provided at Shama Retreats were unlike any other retreat I have experienced. Not only were they vegan, but they also incorporated Ayurvedic principles. The dishes were not just nourishing but presented with such artistic flair that each meal felt like a feast for the senses. The attention to detail in the flavors, textures, and overall presentation was simply outstanding. I left each meal feeling satisfied, nourished, and amazed by the culinary creations. Overall, my experience at Shama Retreats Yoga in Nature was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of Jeanne Heileman's insightful teachings, Paloma's impeccable hosting, and the incredible food made this retreat a truly transformative experience. I would highly recommend Shama Retreats to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice, connect with nature, and indulge in a truly remarkable retreat experience. I know that this won’t be the last time I traveled with this group. Thank you lots - Nathalie
