Take time to slow down and reconnect! Join me for a yoga retreat in Portugal!
Spend time in the jungle, connecting with its rhythms. Relax. Breathe. Get to know great people and enjoy a Portuguese experience close to the forest in a traditional family owned farm!
What to expect from this yoga retreat in Portugal?
Imagine to start your day with a meditation, returning to your inner silence on a yoga deck overlooking the native forest. Spend the morning in silence, enjoying a healthy organic breakfast and prepare for a regenerative yoga class. Classes are suitable for any level and our aim is to create a safe space for you to drop inside, find your inner strength and reconnect to the vital flow within you.
After our morning session you will be served a healthy superpower lunch cooked with love, with most ingredients coming from the land of Olho Branco. You will then have time to relax, go for a walk, book a massage, join an optional surf session or book a 1:1 session with me.
Afternoons will be spent in nature or in one of our workshops, during which we will explore themes like ecology, permaculture, nature connection and ritual. These will be a space for us to explore our interconnectedness to the web of life and to learn about inner and outer ecology.
Evening will be spent practicing yoga or enjoying a fire by the ocean or other special evening activities

Why this retreat?
Well, what is a retreat in the first place? How many times do we hear or read words like "retreat" or "yoga" nowadays, and how many images and expectations have we built around them? Well, my intention is to make of my retreats spaces where people can simply empty themselves of structures and "dos and don'ts", where we can meet to learn and understand how to listen to ourselves, alone and in relationship with what is around us. My desire is to meet you as you are and leave you with something you can carry in your heart. Tools for living your life as your life desires to be lived, free from any structure that is not built by your own heart and dreams.
As more and more I realise how intricately interconnected our lives are with the natural ecosystems, I like to use these retreats to support you in the quest for a purposeful way of living. I strongly believe that the future we wish for humanity begins with each of us beginning to express who they are, fully, with their hearts and souls screaming out loud.
In addition, this retreat will be a unique opportunity to experience living in community. The very special location offers an intimate setup where you will get to know the land where your food comes from and the hands that will cook it for you every day.
