Cultural Yoga Retreats in West Africa

My cultural yoga retreats offer a unique blend of yoga, oceanfront relaxation, and immersive experiences in Gambian culture.

Each retreat combines daily yoga practices — including Vinyasa flow, restorative sessions, and aerial yoga — with carefully curated cultural excursions. Guests explore local villages, markets, nature, and traditions, creating a deeper connection to the place and its people.

Practices take place on an oceanfront deck, where the sound of the waves becomes part of the rhythm of the breath, creating a peaceful environment for movement, rest, and reflection.

These retreats are designed as a space to step away from busy routines, reconnect with yourself, and experience the warmth, culture, and natural beauty of The Gambia.

I had so much fun with your guys and your daughter is amazing! I miss you all already and hopefully see you in London in the summer or even maybe in Gambia again šŸ™‚

Hi Alina, I just wanted to say thank you for a beautiful retreat, it really was so much fun. The food and the accommodation were so lovely, a big shout out to Mani Sushi, thank you!

– Jennie

I have just finished my 7-day yoga retreat with Alina in Gambia, such a beautiful country, beautiful people. For me, the most touching was Roots excursion and a new chapter of my life to do with Yoga, which is making me who I am today. Thank you, Gambia, for having me and thank you Alina for your retreat, it was amazing.

– Havayah

Hi Alina, thank you for a fantastic yoga retreat, really enjoyed it. Yoga, Gambian culture and fantastic food and cuisine from Mani Sushi. Thank you so much and see you soon hopefully.

– Sarah

Thank you, Alina, for an amazing retreat. For me it was the perfect combination of having yoga but combined with Gambian culture and I loved every minute of it, Thank you!

– Jen

Alina is amazing yoga teacher and has guided me with great attention with my personal needs. Her nurturing nature inspired my journey to discover more about the power of the breath, meditation and yoga spirituality. She has a soothing soft tone to her voice, well planned sequences and flow and is very attentive and hands on when correcting you. I can feel the growth and change within myself and try to never miss our sessions. I would highly recommend booking a class with Alina.

– Nadia

I had my yoga class with Alina and it was just fab. What’s important to me is to feel like I’ve really worked out, but not feel too under pressure If I can’t do all the moves (as I’m a newbie). I liked the fact that Alina came over when I wasn’t doing things quite right and you don’t always get that from yoga teachers. She is an amazing teacher, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

– Oxana

It’s a privilege and joy to interact with people who truly love what they do. Alina is such person. All my yoga sessions with her are very positive and fulfilling. She is very attentive, and always provides the right amount of guidance and support through the session. I always leave Alina’s classes with a smile on my face. All her flows are thought through, and are a good combination of physical challenge and emotional release. I highly recommend this teacher.

– Rita

I’ve been practising yoga for around 10 years now, attending classes all over London with many different teachers. Alina is by far the best teacher I ever had. She provides really clear direction and corrections while maintaining a really calming and reassuring presence. I do my best yoga with Alina.

– Ant

I used to HATE yoga as I never enjoyed a class in my life before. A few months ago I tried a few private classes with Alina and I have to say that my mind is forever changed. Alina made me realise how important yoga is not just as a physical exercise but also as a relaxation method. I now do yoga on weekly basis (mostly with Alina) but i have also introduced some sequences to my morning routine (also with Alina’s help). I highly recommend this lady to anyone who wants a truly exceptional yoga experience. She is also very soft spoken and positive person to be around.

– Natalia

I just want to say thank you Alina for this experience in Gambia. The whole Yoga retreat has been fantastic and thank you so much for everything you provided us with, breakfast, lunch, dinner. The villa has been fantastic in a beautiful resort. It has been amazing – thank you so much.

– Deepa

Thank you, Alina, so much, I so enjoy your Yoga lessons thank you so much, I see you next year.

– Ausra

Thank you, Alina, for an amazing Yoga retreat in the Gambia, it was the best.
