Tai Chi Fuerteventura Retreat

✨ A very special visit to our retreat centre 🌿
We enjoyed a Tai Chi session with Paco, our teacher, and one of our very special guests, who was one of the first Guests to visit us from the UK back in 2011. 🇬🇧❤️
Now in her 80s, she is still incredibly fit, active and full of energy and enthusiasm for Tai Chi! 💪😊
Today we practised Push Hands (Tui Shou), a partner exercise that is an important part of Tai Chi training. Through gentle contact, we learn to listen, feel and respond to our partner’s movement, developing balance, sensitivity, coordination and relaxation rather than relying on strength.
Because Tai Chi is not only about staying fit… it’s about continuing to learn and grow at any age. ❤️🙏

A journey back to the source
From Fuerteventura to the mountains of France and Switzerland, Paco, founder of Tai Chi Fuerteventura Retreats, continues his own journey of learning and transmission.
He travels to meet his Master Jean Michael Coudart, and reunite with his Tai Chi family — a group of teachers from the Grand Master Wang Wei Guo school — to continue receiving the teachings directly from his master and to practise alongside the other teachers.
These training camps are intense: eight hours of practice every day, demanding both physically and mentally. But beyond the hard work, there is an incredible atmosphere of friendship, respect, connection and shared passion for this art.
Meeting again and again, we continue to deepen our practice, learn from one another and honour the traditional transmission of Tai Chi from teacher to student.
From master to disciple, from one generation to the next.
The journey continues.

Like water, the sword teaches us the deepest lesson.
Water adapts to every shape without losing its essence. It can be calm as a quiet lake or unleash the unstoppable power of the ocean. Wave after wave, it patiently sculpts even the hardest volcanic reef.
The Tai Chi sword follows the same principle: softness becomes strength, stillness becomes movement, and true power comes from harmony rather than force.
This sword form was passed down to us by Grand Master Wang Wei Guo, preserving the wisdom of generations and reminding us that the greatest strength is found in adaptability.
Be like water. Flow. Adapt. Endure. Transform.

Welcoming the first sunrise of the Summer Solstice with a Tai Chi practice in the beautiful natural landscape of Las Dunas. ☀️🌿
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Summer Solstice represents the peak of Yang energy — a time of vitality, expansion, joy, and connection with nature. It is the perfect moment to slow down, breathe deeply, and align body, mind, and spirit.
There is no better way to greet this special day than with mindful movement, the sound of the ocean, and the first rays of sunlight touching the earth.
At our retreat center, we are delighted to share the benefits of Tai Chi with our guests, offering a unique opportunity to experience greater balance, inner calm, flexibility, and well-being while surrounded by the natural beauty of Fuerteventura.
Join us and discover how a simple practice at sunrise can transform the way you start your day.
