Do Pilates & learn to cook healthily!
3 November - 10 November
Overview
Immerse yourself in our inspiring Pilates and Healthy Cooking Retreat on Fuerteventura!
Our absolutely stunning 8 bedroom villa, at the foot of the majestic Caledron Hondo volcano, will be your retreat for a whole week.
Experience daily Pilates sessions with Louise, masterful & healthy cooking classes with our gifted chef Vanessa, relaxing reading sessions by the pool and much more. Please note that both cooking and Pilates classes are held in English.
For those who are adventurous and looking for an extra thrill, there is also a surfing package available to book. The beautiful waves are only 15 minutes away from our beautiful village of Lajares.
Come and enjoy the company of like-minded people, no matter where you are on your sports and cooking journey. Alone or with a companion, you are warmly invited to share this unforgettable experience with us!
Accommodation
We rent a super stylish luxury villa on the outskirts of Lajares.
You will stay in a luxurious double or triple room. Each suite has an en-suite bathroom and a magnificent view of the volcanic landscape.
On the large terrace you will find a huge, heated pool, comfortable deck chairs and a cozy lounge to chill out.
There is also a long wooden table around which we will sit while we enjoy delicious meals and interesting workshops together.
And of course, we can't forget the incredible living room, which can also be transformed into our Pilates studio. The 8m high windows allow you to enjoy the breathtaking view of the volcano during your sports lessons.
You have probably never trained so luxuriously before!
Healthy Cooking
It doesn't matter whether you are already a gifted cook or are just starting out on your cooking career!
In this Pilates & Cooking Retreat you will learn how to efficiently incorporate healthy cooking into your everyday life.
Our experienced chef Vanessa, who has explored most corners of the world and discovered the culinary secrets of many countries, will take you on a journey through different cooking styles.
In five cooking classes, Vanessa will share her passion for food with you and, among other things, teach you the basics of Ayurvedic cuisine.
From healthy breakfast and lunch menus to dinner and snacks, you'll explore the diversity of the cuisine. You'll also learn how to incorporate natural ingredients into your dishes in Vanessa's classes on spice science and more.
Experience the simplicity of sophisticated cooking, where enjoyment and well-being are in harmony. You will fly home with new ideas and inspiration and will be able to easily and sustainably implement the newly acquired knowledge in your own kitchen.
Vanessa is an omnivore and will prepare her inputs accordingly.
Pilates
One thing in advance: Everything is possible, nothing is mandatory.
If you e.g. For example, if you only want to do sports once a week, then that's completely okay. We don't attract people who come on vacation to shred and want to fly home with a six-pack.
With us you will find relaxed people who like to live a healthy and balanced life or who want to give their life a kick-start towards a sustainably healthier direction with this retreat.
Example weekly plan
The kick-off of your adventure
If you want, your Fuerteventura adventure can start with a surfing session on Monday. You will be picked up and taken to one of the nearby beaches, where our coaches will take good care of you and introduce you to the art of surfing.
This is not a must, but we recommend it - Fuerteventura is a surfer's mecca for a reason. Trying is better than studying!
If you prefer to stay at home, there are comfortable lounge chairs waiting for you to read your book. Chilling doesn't hurt either :-)
After lunch there is an exciting input on the topic of sport and nutrition before we start the second Pilates class with Louise.
We prepare dinner together - in our first cooking session with Vanessa. If that isn't already a perfect day?!
Wine tasting with Ivan
We start Tuesday with another activating Pilates class before enjoying a delicious breakfast together.
Today there is also a cooking class on the agenda: namely on the topic of "Healthy & Quick Lunch". Vanessa shows us how to prepare super nutritious and delicious lunches without much effort.
We end the day with an exciting wine tasting. Ivan, the owner of one of the best restaurants on the island, accompanies us on a journey through delicious Canarian wines.
Cheers to another awesome day!
The glass is half full - we are ONLY halfway through the retreat!
Wednesday is very similar to Monday.
The adventurous guests start the day with the second surf session. Today you can finally deepen what you learned on Monday.
In the afternoon we will be creative and make a small souvenir that you can take home and that will always remind you of your wonderful time on Fuerte.
Before we have dinner together, there is a volcano excursion at sunset on the agenda (today you get a Pilates break). Wear sturdy shoes for the hike, as it will be rocky and steep. But don't worry: the view of the sea and the view into the large volcanic crater are well worth the effort.
Snacks & Live Music
In addition to the usual points, today's cooking input is "snacks". Vanessa will prepare various delicious snacks with us, which you can easily recreate at home and store in the fridge.
The day is much nicer when you have delicious snacks on hand!
In the evening, those who still have excess energy can head to the Agua Tikki Bar. There is live music and fine cocktails there every Thursday.
Friyay!
The surf team will enjoy their last surf session today and work on their pop-up and turtle-turn skills again. You don't know what that is? No problemo: by this day you will be more than familiar with these terms.
Also on the program today are the second to last Pilates and cooking classes.
Learn from Vanessa how to use spices and herbs skillfully in your daily life, what effects they have and how you can spice up your meals with them.
Sand dunes and fine dining
Well rested (today we start a little later because it's the weekend ;-)) we enjoy the last cooking class with Vanessa with the focus on "brunch".
Afterwards we'll head to the sand dunes in Corralejo. Get ready for endless sand and space - a place where you can easily get lost.
In the evening we dress up a bit to visit Ivan's restaurant. Remember? Ivan was the man who led us through the wine tasting.
Get ready to treat yourself! The food is truly spectacular, the service outstanding and your company is great.
Nothing stands in the way of a successful last evening.
Goodbye friends!
It's time to say goodbye - but not to be sad!
The friendships you made this week will stay with you for a long time. Believe us, we speak from experience.
The final brunch gives you the final energy boost before our shuttle takes you to the airport in Puerto Del Rosario.
Hello home.
Hello new, healthy habits!
PS: Check-out is at 11 a.m.
getting there
The retreat takes place in Skaleta.
For that it is best to fly to Puerto del Rosario, where our shuttle will pick you up.
The villa is about 30 minutes drive from the airport.
In Wildhaus the maximum group size is 12 people plus the Templeshape team. On average there are usually around 10 guests.
We design our Pilates sessions so that both beginners and advanced students get their money's worth. You don't need to have any previous knowledge. Everyone goes at their own pace and will make sure that exercises are performed correctly to prevent injuries.
And you don't need any previous cooking knowledge either. Our goal is for everyone to be able to learn how to cook efficiently and healthily in everyday life and have fun doing it!
Please note that both Pilates and cooking classes are held in English as it is the teachers' native language.
There is no compulsory program.
If you don't feel like doing sports or yoga or going on an excursion, then you can simply not join in. No one will be mad at you - it's your vacation and you should relax in the way that suits you best!
We are mostly a mixed group, with the majority of the group being in their 30s.
However, we have had everyone from 20 to 70 and we love this group. We really want to encourage everyone to come along, because age is absolutely irrelevant to us.
That's correct. Everyone books their own flights :)

Very nice yoga studio, I attended the HIIT yoga class with Ina using the HalloYoga book and it was amazing. She focuses on individual progress and is super friendly.

Templeshape in Zurich is simply fantastic! Thanks to this studio, I have developed a whole new relationship with training. The trainers are absolutely outstanding and are not only... by designing effective training sessions, but also by creating a warm and family atmosphere. I feel really comfortable and motivated here. Templeshape has shown me that exercise is not just a physical activity, but can also bring joy and community. I highly recommend it!read more
