FIVE DAYS
FIVE ELEMENTS
GRAN CANARIA, CANARY ISLANDS
A 5-DAY
NERVOUS SYSTEM
HACKING RETREAT
GRAN CANARIA, CANARY ISLANDS
Our retreat begins on Wednesday, January 14th with a warm welcome circle and grounding evening practice, and closes on Monday, January 19th after breakfast and a final moment of reflection.
Each day unfolds through one of the five elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space - guiding you through a natural cycle of grounding, flow, expansion, and integration.
Mornings begin in stillness with meditation and breathwork, followed by a dynamic yet mindful yoga practice. These sessions invite energy and clarity into the body, strengthening both presence and stability.
After a nourishing plant-based brunch, the afternoons open into spaciousness. You might rest by the pool, explore the volcanic landscape, or receive a massage or Reiki treatment. Some days offer short hikes or time for guided journaling and quiet reflection.
Evenings are dedicated to softer practices - Yin Yoga, somatic tools, and breath-led meditation - to calm the nervous system and invite deep release. Fire rituals and mindful dining weave the days together, grounding each element in experience.
Throughout the retreat, you'll be supported by nourishing food, clear guidance, and a rhythm that allows both structure and freedom.
This is your elemental reset - a return to balance, simplicity, and the calm that comes from within.
Begin the year in rhythm.
This retreat offers something essential. Space to listen. Structure to support you. Practices that reconnect you to the elements - and to yourself.
Set on the warm south coast of Gran Canaria, this 5-day experience brings together yoga, breathwork, holistic nourishment, and grounding nature to restore your body and mind after a long year.

Our retreat unfolds in the quiet south, where the land feels ancient: palm groves, dragon trees, and volcanic cliffs reflected in the Ayagaures reservoir.
The air is dry and warm even in winter.
The nights open wide with stars.
Here, the landscape itself becomes your teacher - grounding, simple, alive.

Listen to your body
Maria brings her depth, clarity, and steady presence to the Elemental Reset Retreat. As an experienced Ashtanga and Yin teacher with a somatic, trauma-informed approach, she creates a practice space where the body feels held, the breath softens, and the nervous system can finally exhale.
Her teaching blends intuitive sequencing with clean, intentional movement - strong when needed, spacious when helpful, always guided by the wisdom of the body. Morning practices invite clarity and grounded strength, while evening sessions move into softness, interoception, and nervous system regulation.
Maria teaches with warmth and precision, offering choice and permission in every practice. Her classes are an invitation to return to yourself - to feel, to release, to expand, and to reconnect with the quiet intelligence within.
With seven years of experience and a deep dedication to holistic well-being, she holds a space that is both steady and transformative, supporting you through each layer of your journey.
