Description

Join us for an amazing yoga holiday in beautiful Tenerife, the island of eternal spring. Enjoy yoga practise out in the open air in beautiful natural surroundings at 1,000 meters above sea level, as well as hiking trips in the dramatic mountain scenery.

Along the way your guide will share insight into the area’s history, culture, climate and terrain. After a moderate ascent, stop at the Cruz de Gala viewpoint for panoramic views over the valley of Santiago del Teide Teide’s peak in the distance. Continue along the mountain ridge towards Cumbre de Masca and enjoy stunning views all the way down to the South Coast and the ocean. When the weather is good you will be able to spot the neighbouring islands of La Gomera and La Palma, and on a very clear day even the smallest of the Canary Islands, El Hierro. You will discover diverse vegetation from pine and eucalyptus trees to ancient laurisilva forests and Canarian palm trees.
