The Power of Tapas: Transformation at the Volcano's Edge
This is your invitation to a retreat unlike any other—the smallest and most intimate I've led in a decade. Limited to just 11 dedicated participants, this journey is designed for those truly ready to take a dive deep into their practice.
Imagine waking up to the raw, transformative energy of the Calderon Hondo volcano—visible from every room, a perfect symbol of Tapas (Inner Fire). Our setting is a stunning architect's home nestled at its foot, a sacred container for your awakening. With huge, magnificent floor to ceiling windows, our yoga space projects you directly toward the volcano, connecting you to embody this powerful elemental energy as you move.
We gather at the start of summer to spark the embers of curiosity, play, and embodiment, tending the sacred heart fire so you can step into deeper alignment with what lights you up!
"Set your life on fire, seek those who fan your flames."
— Rumi
Join us to ignite your inner spark.
A Spanish island in Macaronesia
Macaronesia is a collection of four volcanic archipelagos in the North Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of North Africa and Europe. The rugged, elemental landscape here is more Africa than Europe.
Situated in Macoronesia, and located in the Canary Islands, a remote beach paradise off the coast of northwestern Africa, Fuerteventura (made up of 2 words fuerte: strong, and ventura: referring to destiny or good luck) boasts a stunning arid island landscape with long stretches of desert dunes tumbling into vibrant turquoise sea.
Our home for the week, complete with a stellar personal chef and a pool, is a minimalist’s architectural dream, integrating gorgeously into the dramatic landscape. Each practice our drishti, or gazing point, from sleek floor to ceiling windows, is the ancient volcano Calderón Hondo, which is known for its creation of Isla de Lobos (island of the Wolves).
This Retreat is for You, If:
You are longing for a deep week of yoga immersion, play, nature, and community.
You prefer smaller groups and more individualized attention.
You are a summer soul and love the sunshine, radiance, and a sweaty, fiery practice.
You feel most energized and nourished eating healthy, plant based meals.

Your Retreat Center
A peaceful oasis at the foot of the volcano
Your home for the week is set in a nature preserve amidst the majestic backdrop of volcanoes and desert hills, offering a spiritually potent location for deep yoga immersion and remembering the spark of spirit and play.
Even indoors, Nature remains omnipresent. Composed of raw materials such as wood, natural stone and concrete, your retreat house offers a modern and minimalist style, embodying the spirit of the region. Each space, yoga studio, and bedroom provide an impressive view of the volcano, with its own character and architectural style.
The outdoor space is huge, with a heated pool, deckchair, outdoor dining table and wooden deck to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets, poolside yoga, and a foosball table. The landscape and colors around the house are breathtaking, your peaceful oasis at the foot of the volcano.
Immerse Yourself
Dive deep into your practice. Our stunning practice room boasts floor to ceiling windows so you can set your drishti on the volcano ahead. High quality vegan mats, blocks, belts, blankets, and meditation cushions are provided so you can pack lightly and feel supported.
Unwind Yourself
Enjoy pool dips and poolside siesta to simmer down between all your yoga practices. A short drive from the house takes you to stunning dunes and sea. Get out on the water for our last full day to relax and celebrate with a luxury catamaran tour with paella, papas, ensalada, vino, y cerveza.

The Food
Let’s eat! Spark your appetite, honor your body, Nourish yourself. Pull up your seat at our table.
In ayurveda, agni, the digestive fire, is the keystone to good health. At our volcanic island retreat home we tend the fires of transformation, strengthening and reconnecting to what nourishes, delights, and restores balance. We are going to build up a healthy appetite with all that yoga and a delicious meal awaits after each practice!
On retreat food is beautiful, simple, and expression of seasonal and earthly wholeness that delights every sense.
Our female owned, plant based, locally sourced caterer, Olita, centers the food she makes and the meals she serves around the holistic principles of mindful eating, where food is viewed as a source of nourishment, energy, and healing. She prioritize using fresh, organic, and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, ensuring that the food is not only packed with flavors and textures but also as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible.
We can cater for your dietary requirements, please mention any allergies or sensitivities upon booking.
Deepen Your Practice
Energizing Solar Vinyasa Flow (Mornings)
Ignite your day with a fiery, fluid, breath-based practice designed to quiet distraction and magnetize you to your core. Our solar flow builds and repeats, pulling you out of your head and into the meditation of repetition. Expect sweaty, playful, and precisely-cued vinyasa bliss that invites you to explore your edge while meeting yourself exactly where you are. All levels will be expertly guided to emerge feeling deeply recharged and rooted. This rhythmic flow is a liberating force—a cascade of vitality that reminds you of your creative and vital sacred heart.
Afternoon Workshops: Shining the Lantern of Awareness
After the intuitive depth of the morning, afternoon sessions give you space for focused analysis. Workshop poses that mystify you with hands-on coaching and detailed instruction. Take a deeper dive approaching postures with all the modifications and support needed to build confidence at any level. As with everything on my retreats, you are invited to participate or rest in our afternoon workshops - always operating from an orientation of attunement, never obligation. If your body needs a siesta - honor your connection to wisdom and discernment.
Evening Lunar Restoration
Return in the evenings for a gentle, floor-based practice guiding you inward toward deep relaxation and ease. Melt pain and tension in the joint space, release hips, lower back, and shoulders. Like a snake shedding old skin, you’ll shed stagnant energy and stories of pain that you have outgrown. We orient to the nervous system—not forcing, but feeling—allowing for profound healing and integration to flow through you as you reconnect to your inner wisdom.
Don’t wait! just 11 Spots available.
"Lily provides an invigorating, transformative yoga practice and a holistic approach that invites retreaters to uncover, work through, and renew their life energy. To me, this is what a yoga retreat is all about."
-Liz Lord, Maryland
With 18 years experience leading yoga retreats all over the world - from Maui, Hawaii to Positano, Italy to NorCal Wine Country to the Greek Cycladic Islands - one thing I love about retreats is how different settings inspire our yoga practice, tenderize our hearts, and open our minds. Both travel and yoga are catalysts to shift perspective, open our life force where we feel blocked or stagnant, and realign with meaning and direction in our lives.
So often in the hustle and stress of life back home, we disconnect from three threads that support and uplift our wellbeing: connection to nature, connection to creative embodiment, and meaningful connection to community that fosters a profound sense of belonging and joy.
On retreat, I love seeing students faces relax and years of tension and deeply embedded stress melt off folks’ shoulders as they deepen into the magic of retreat and let the magic of yoga wash over them like a healing salve.
Choosing to come on retreat means we must consciously choose to close down some of the pulls on our attention back home - and this allows us to open the door to a deeper relationship to embodiment and spirit through yoga immersion, self inquiry, meditation, compassion, humor, and open-ended time and space in nature to feel it all. The version of self that returns home is inevitably rearranged, awakened, and transformed by the experience of retreating. A retreat is unlike any other form of travel. Retreats are my favorite way to share yoga practice so that it touches all layers of Being most profoundly. Celebrate a newfound connection to the vibrancy within your body, mind, and soul by joining us on a sacred journey inward.
a note from your guide:
when imagination returns, it means we are back in our body.
"Lily has an almost prescient way to meet her students 'where they are' with respect to language, modifications and assists. I came away from the retreat feeling stronger in my practice, yet content with where I am and with a clear path to how I might get there."
-Karen McKenna, Maryland

COVID-19
We will provide no refund or other reimbursement to you if you are unable to participate in the Yoga Retreat due to illness such as COVID 19 prior to trip departure or during the Yoga Retreat but reimbursement can typically be sought from most travel insurance policies. (We strongly suggest you purchase Trade Insurance) If you test positive for Covid while on Yoga Retreat, you agree to obtain your own private room to quarantine. For these reasons, you should inquire as to your coverage regarding Covid with your travel and health insurance carriers.
