The WIP Center
Welcome to the WIP Meditation Center
Created by Lilly Rikhter after nearly a decade of free outdoor sessions, the Center was born from a simple wish: to offer a place of healing, reflection, and authentic human connection — a modern ashram in the middle of city life.
Here, yoga, meditation, and holistic therapies come together as one practice of presence. All income from the Center supports the non-profit association, helping to sustain free community classes and develop new wellness projects across the Canary Islands.
This is more than a place to practice — it is a home for those seeking truth, peace, and balance. A place where ancient Himalayan teachings meet modern hearts. Leave your shoes and your ego at the door. Welcome home.
The WIP Center
A Living Temple of Awareness
The WIP Meditation Center is not just a place — it’s a living experience of balance and presence.
Each week, we open our doors to those seeking silence, movement, and connection through authentic Himalayan teachings and holistic practices.
Here you will find:
🪷 Himalayan Yoga with Lilly Rikhter: traditional hatha yoga, pranayama, and energy work.
🎶 Meditation & Sound Baths: guided journeys combining stillness, breath, and live sound.
🌸 Massage & Holistic Therapies: Ayurvedic and therapeutic treatments for deep relaxation.
👨👩👧 Family Yoga: joyful sessions for adults and children to move and reconnect together.
🌞 Retreats & Advanced Practices: programs with visiting teachers and Himalayan monks.
Each activity is guided with care and respect, honoring the body as a sacred temple and the breath as a bridge to awareness.
All paid courses from the Center directly supports the non-profit WIP Association — helping maintain our free outdoor sessions and community projects across the Canary Islands.
Every breath you take here helps someone breathe easier elsewhere.

Yesterday I participated in a sound bath that accompanied a one-hour meditation. It was the first time I’d done so, and it moved me. Not only for the peace I was able to achieve in that wonderful setting, but also for the warmth, connection, light, and love that I felt permeating my being at times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
