What are “retreats”?
We live in a world where time never seems to be enough. Days filled with endless to-do lists, responsibilities piling up, and routines that feel like a never-ending race. But when was the last time you truly stopped? Not to check your phone, not to run a quick errand… but to take a deep breath, feel the sun on your skin, and simply BE.
The need to escape the noise and reconnect with ourselves has given rise to retreats. They’re not just a passing trend; they’re a natural response to our fast-paced lives. A space where we give ourselves the time we so often deny—time to reconnect with our essence, with nature, and with what truly nourishes us.
But not all retreats are the same. Some focus on yoga practice and philosophy, others on spiritual development or deep relaxation… and then there are active retreats. The perfect blend of movement, adventure, well-being, and connection.
💜 A SUP and Yoga Retreat in Gran Canaria like the one we offer at SUP FIT YOGA is different. It’s not just meditation and yoga poses on a mat, nor just sports and adrenaline.
It’s balance at its finest:
🌿 Conscious movement in harmony with the water.
🌊 Challenge and learning in every paddle stroke.
☀️ Well-being and serenity through yoga practice.
💫 Exploration, adventure, and deep connection with nature.
Here, transformation happens naturally. When you realize you can find balance on the board despite the water’s movement… just like in life.
Yoga Retreats vs. Active Retreats: what’s the difference?
When we think of a retreat, we often imagine days of silence, long meditation sessions, and a slow-paced rhythm centered on introspection. And yes, that can be a wonderful choice for many. But what if what you truly need is not just stillness, but also movement?
🔹 A traditional yoga retreat focuses on yoga practice, meditation, and inner connection through rest and quietness. These are spaces designed to slow down and embrace a gentler routine.
🔹 An active retreat, on the other hand, is a much more dynamic experience. It’s not just about stopping but about moving the body to release, to learn something new, to experience nature in its purest form, and to find balance through action.
Why is a SUP & Yoga Retreat in Gran Canaria different?
🌊 Because you won’t just stay in one place—every day is a new adventure, whether you’re paddling across crystal-clear waters, exploring the coastline, or flowing through yoga with the sound of the ocean in the background.
💫 Because it blends the well-being of yoga with the energy of SUP—the balance between movement and rest is real, with moments of action and deep relaxation.
🏄♀️ Because it’s not just “sightseeing”—it’s LIVING the island—feeling the water on your feet, the breeze on your face, the vastness of the ocean, and the freedom of being fully present.
🌿 Because it’s about reconnecting with nature through movement, feeling the power of the sea and learning to flow with it.
☀️ Because in Gran Canaria, you get to enjoy unbeatable warm weather—while other countries are freezing, we keep a steady temperature of 23 to 25 degrees all year round.
This isn’t just a trip… it’s an experience for your body, mind, and soul.

SUP FIT YOGA´s SUP & Yoga Retreat in Gran Canaria. A retreat created from passion and authenticity.💜
When I first dreamed of creating a retreat like this, I thought about what I would love to experience—a space where yoga, the ocean, and adventure blend seamlessly with the culture, traditions, and soul of the island.
Because Gran Canaria is so much more than sun and beaches. It’s a land full of magic, hidden gems waiting to be explored, and an energy that’s truly one of a kind… and this retreat is your chance to experience it fully.
There’s no mass tourism here, no impersonal experiences—just real connection, pure nature, and moments that stay with you long after you leave.
Each day, a new adventure: Live the experience🏝
No two days are the same on this retreat. Each one is a unique blend of movement, rest, and connection with nature—designed to help you experience the island in the most authentic way.
🌊 Ocean Days → Wake up with beach yoga, feel the sun’s energy on your skin, and flow with every movement. Paddleboarding becomes an extension of you: learn to glide across the water, find your balance, and move in harmony with the ocean.
🌿 Exploration Days → Because traveling is more than just moving—it’s about immersing yourself in the culture, traditions, and landscapes that make Gran Canaria so unique. From scenic hiking trails to the warmth of a shared traditional meal, every moment is part of the journey.
🌊 Challenge & Balance Days → Build strength and stability with a SUP Fitness session, feel the effortless flow of SUP Yoga, challenge your body, and find your center.
✨ Reconnection Days → Because balance isn’t just physical—it’s also mental. The combination of yoga, nature, and the sea creates the perfect space to disconnect from the noise and tune into what you truly need.
Every day is different, but the feeling of freedom, the energy of the ocean, and the connection with yourself never change.
More than just a trip: The transformation you didn’t know you needed✨
Sometimes, we think transformation has to come in a big, life-changing moment. A drastic shift. A before-and-after story written in neon lights. But true transformations aren’t always loud… Many times, they’re subtle, almost imperceptible in the moment, yet deeply meaningful when you look back.
And that’s exactly what happens on this SUP & Yoga Retreat in Gran Canaria.
You’re not coming here to become someone else. You don’t need to “reinvent yourself” or “change your life.” But without even realizing it, something shifts within you:
Your body wakes up. Muscles you’d forgotten about come alive—without pressure. You paddle, flow, fall, and rise, realizing you’re stronger than you thought.
Your mind quiets down as the ocean demands presence. Each paddle, breath, and posture clears away mental noise, melting away stress.
You reconnect—with nature and yourself. Every paddle, hike, and sunrise aligns something within you, finding a balance beyond the physical.
And when the retreat comes to an end, you’re not someone new—you’ve reclaimed a part of yourself once buried under routine and stress. The peace you’ve found stays with you, long after.
This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a homecoming—to yourself.
