Yoga and Local Gambian Experience

As the birds awaken by the shoreline, allow your senses to indulge in the crisp surroundings of the smiling coast. Local experts will open up the realms to Gambian culture by showing you the way to cook, Gambian style. They will also lead you into villages where you’ll see daily life over a cup of tea. Enhance your self-compassion participating in playful vinyasa flow in the peaceful shala and depart with a fresh, positive mindset.

In the Sanskrit language, yoga means ‘union’ which unites the mind, body and spirit. Connecting the mind, body and spirit allows greater strength, flexibility, increased relaxation and broader sense of self-awareness.

The smallest country on the African continent is full of friendly natives, diverse ecosystems and rich natural resources. Locals live off the land fishing, farming and showcasing its natural beauty. The tranquil environment and welcoming locals make The Gambia a great place to implement mindfulness.

Immerse in vinyasa flow in our elegant Gambian Yoga Shala. Your yoga teacher Linda has obtained her qualification from Himalayan Yoga Bliss in Darjeeling, India. Practice this and mindfulness in a sacred ground with mature trees, flowers and abundance of birdlife. It will allow you to relax easily, unwind and connect with nature. Learn from a local how to make traditional Gambian dishes and engage with locals by the river or in villages.
