Take this opportunity to reflect, feel yourself, and exchange experiences and thoughts in the community. 7LemonsHouse will guide you to connect with your essence in a family atmosphere and a holistic lifestyle, surrounded by nature that invites you to find harmony and balance. This Holistic surf and yoga retreat is aimed at those who want to discover the sensation of surfing on an island with great surf culture and practice yoga in an environment that invites you to find harmony with nature and balance body-mind-spirit.
Fuerteventura’s landscape invites you to develop an awareness of the beauty of emptiness. No new stimuli. The vastness of the barren landscape, the beaches, the dunes, and the sea have a calming effect on your mind. Easy hikes, light food, yoga and sound healings, stress relieving massages, and other physical activities will help you reduce preexisting overstimulation.

The retreat groups are only for a maximum of.6 people so very exclusive and selected. They will fine-tune your lesson to meet your specific needs and skill level. Patience, experience, and individual attention are what they are known for. A great thing is that being in a selected group is practically like having a private class and you can go deeper and learn more than in a big group.
The instructors are very experienced and they can bring each person to improve to a higher level in such a short time. During open yoga classes they will host other yogi from the island and the group size will increase.
The yoga style is Vinyasa and they have a yogi tribe that always joins them for their Soul Sunday yoga event. Follow them on Instagram to see what’s about. All retreat classes are held in English and extra open classes are bilingual (English-Spanish).
Surf lessons are adapted to your level, taught in small groups to provide personalized attention. Equipment, surfboards and transfer to the beach included. We will take you to a beach that has the right conditions for your level. In our retreat we offer surfing as a therapeutic tool, it serves movement, focusing, body awareness and coordination, as well as the connection to the laws of nature. Of course, it's fun and it' s carried out with trained surf instructors but it is not the main focus of the retreat. You are not booking a surf camp. Surfing is very important in our programme because it gives focus and clarity to your mind. With movement in contact with the beautiful nature and the element of pure water like our amazing ocean, we guide you to connect with your senses and ultimately you connect to yourself in a more intense and complete way. You feel alive and free! This is the purpose of the experience we provide.
Restore focus-
A light anti-inflammatory and detoxifying diet will give you enough energy for clarity of mind. Daily intermittent fasting and journaling will add to clarity and focus. Individual or group reflection sessions will help you identify your goals and values. You will learn to implement new habits and routines, resulting in patience, inner stability, confidence, and joy. Rhythm is a requirement for focus.
Reactivating the body’s mind and body defenses-
Strengthen your immune system, detoxify your body, restore your hormonal balance, and improve the active and conscious use of all the perceptible senses of your body. With the help of your senses, you connect facts with emotions, which enables you to learn and ultimately improve your decision-making process. You will develop awareness through yoga, breathing exercises, barefoot walks, sauna visits, ice baths, massages, osteopathy, and social interaction.
Brunch and Dinner
