Book the next retreatCome and join us at one of our retreats on Lamu Island, Kenya. Lamu Yoga Retreats offers tools that bring unity and happiness to all people. Our workshops and retreats aim to bridge the gap between cultures, backgrounds and religions. We strive to help you get a better understanding of yourself and others around you. Our island is the ideal destination to relax and leave the stress of your daily lives behind: tropical climate, miles of deserted, sandy beaches, and pedestrian-only roads.
You will be sure to fall in love with our paradise island of Lamu.

Nestled in the heart of Shela village at the boutique hotel banana house, this is a place for you to visit and experience the authentic culture and traditions. By helping women to create more energy and get inspiration, this retreat offers the unique opportunity to connect with yourself and the women around you.
Testimonial:
“I look back with profound gratitude on the Lamu Womens Happiness Retreat. Monika is a gentle but powerful teacher, assisting me to find deep healing and understanding as we meditate, stretch our bodies with yoga, expand ourselves with breath, laugh, cry, dance, and simply just BE in each magical moment. Sharing and connecting with women from Lamu and all over the world enhances this experience, as does the beautiful setting of Banana House with its kind staff and delicious food. Then there’s the perfect surrounds of Shela, it’s friendly people and spacious beach. The warm breath of the ocean, the stillness of the dunes, sailing between islands with the wind, and the embrace of the rising and setting sun and moon, will remain in my heart.”
