World Wellness Weekend in Gran Canaria: Wellness, Ocean & Connection
This September, SUP FIT YOGA joins the World Wellness Weekend with three free activities that blend everything we love: the ocean, movement, connection… and a beautiful gesture of giving back to the planet.
Did you know that every September, the World Wellness Weekend is celebrated in more than 150 countries worldwide?
And this year, it coincides with the World Oceans Day, making it the perfect opportunity to reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with the sea. 🌊
Across the island of Gran Canaria, dozens of free activities will be offered to celebrate. And from SUP FIT YOGA, I’m joining with all my heart, offering three mindful experiences that combine wellness, the ocean, and environmental care that you can join if you´re around.

🏅 We’ve also received the official “Wellness Champion” seal for 2025 for offering three free activities — and I couldn’t be happier to share it with you.
🌱 What is the World Wellness Weekend?
Every September, thousands of wellness professionals around the world come together to celebrate the World Wellness Weekend: an event designed to inspire people to take care of themselves, reconnect with their well-being, and do it in an accessible, natural and conscious way.
Free activities are organized in gyms, beaches, studios, parks and health centers across more than 150 countries.
And the most beautiful part? Wellness is not only understood as physical exercise, but also as emotional, social and environmental connection.
Because taking care of ourselves also means taking care of our surroundings and the people around us. 💙
SUP FIT YOGA joins the World Wellness Weekend
Because this is 100% aligned with me.
From the very beginning of this project, I knew I wanted to offer something more than just classes or activities.
I wanted to create authentic experiences that help people feel better inside and out, while reconnecting with the ocean, with nature, and with themselves.
And this event represents exactly that. So when I was invited to participate, I didn’t hesitate.
💬 “Can I combine wellness + the ocean + ecological awareness in one single proposal? Then count me in.”
And of course… if I was going to join such a special weekend, I wanted to do it my way — in the way that comes straight from the heart:
💬 “creating real moments of connection in the ocean, reminding us that wellness also means gratitude, awareness and action.”
That’s why this year I’ve prepared three very special experiences that combine movement, the sea and purpose.
Because I believe that when we take care of ourselves and, at the same time, of the environment, something inside aligns.
And that’s where the magic truly happens. 🌟
♻️ Celebrating wellness… and also the World Oceans Day
This year, the World Wellness Weekend overlaps with the World Oceans Day.
And honestly… what better way to celebrate both than by moving our bodies, connecting with the sea and taking care of it together?
That’s why every SUP FIT YOGA activity this day will include a beach clean-up, as a gesture of gratitude towards the ocean that gives us so much.
🌊 Beyond SUP FIT YOGA, other amazing organizations are also contributing. For example, Oceans 4 Life and Project Route 66, two NGOs I collaborate with regularly, will be hosting a clean-up at the Fataga ravine in Maspalomas that you´re invited to join.

Wellness, Awareness & Ocean: The 3 free experiences in Gran Canaria
That’s why this year I’ve prepared three very special experiences that combine movement, the sea and purpose.
Because I believe that when we take care of ourselves and, at the same time, take care of the environment, something inside aligns.
And that’s where the magic truly happens. ✨
Each of the three activities I’m offering has something in common: they all start or end with a collective beach clean-up.
A simple gesture, yet full of intention.
💙 A way to give back to the ocean just a little of everything it gives us.
1. INCLUSIVE SUP + Beach Clean-up
📅 Saturday, September 20 | 🕐 17:30 – 18:45h
A beautiful, inclusive experience that opens the doors of the ocean to everyone, no matter their physical condition, cognitive ability or previous experience.
Each child will take part accompanied by a trusted adult. Together, they’ll share the joy of paddling, finding balance and discovering the magic of the sea.
It’s much more than paddling: it’s about creating bonds, trust and memories in a safe and positive environment.
At the end, we’ll collaborate in a beach clean-up — planting awareness through small gestures that truly matter.
This proposal is inspired by our Inclusive SUP program, one of the activities that forms part of our essence at SUP FIT YOGA, offered regularly to open the ocean to everyone.
📍 Playa de Las Marañuelas, Arguineguín
👥 7 boards (child + adult per board)
📌 Meeting point: 17:15h
🧴 Bring: swimwear, towel, sunscreen and water
🎟 Free activity (reservation required)
2. SUP FITNESS + Beach Clean-up
📅 Saturday, September 20 | 🕐 18:00 – 19:15h
We’ll begin with a beach clean-up: 30 minutes to focus on taking care of our surroundings.
Then… we jump on the board!
A dynamic SUP Fitness session where you’ll work on strength, balance and coordination — all while the sea challenges (and embraces) you with every movement.
💥 If you’ve never tried SUP Fitness before, this is your chance to discover how fun (and demanding) training on the water can be, with the ocean as your best gym.
Guaranteed laughter… and maybe a splash or two 😉.
📍 Playa de Las Marañuelas, Arguineguín
👥 7 spots available
📌 Meeting point: 18:00h
🧴 Bring: swimwear, towel, sunscreen and water
🎟 Free activity (reservation required)
3. SUNSET SUP YOGA + Beach Clean-up
📅 Saturday, September 20 | 🕐 18:30 – 20:00h
One of my absolute favorite experiences.
We close the day with a calm, mindful and truly beautiful session.
We begin with a beach clean-up to honor the place where we’ll practice.
Then, as the sun starts to set, we hop on the board for an Introduction to SUP Yoga at Sunset, where gentle movement, conscious breathing and the sound of the ocean merge into a unique experience.
This activity is very similar to the SUP Yoga sessions we offer throughout the year, but this time it comes with an extra gesture of gratitude towards our beloved ocean.

✨ Wellness beyond the event (SUP FIT YOGA Retreat in Gran Canaria)
If this World Wellness Weekend leaves you wanting more — or if you can’t make it this time — maybe what you’re looking for is our 5-day Wellness Retreat in Gran Canaria.
A unique program where we combine SUP Yoga, SUP Fitness, ocean adventures, beach clean-ups, healthy food and time in nature.
💜 Because wellness doesn’t have to be just a weekend. It can become a lifestyle.
