A week of yoga, meditation, and quiet reflection in the peaceful hills of southern Portugal. Designed to help you slow down, reset, and reconnect with your body and breath.
About the retreat / What to expect
Spend seven days immersed in movement, stillness, and nature in the quiet hills of southern Portugal. This retreat is designed for those who want to slow down, reconnect with their body, and step away from everyday noise. Each day blends gentle and dynamic yoga practices with guided meditation, breathwork, and long breaks to rest, walk, or simply be present. Mornings begin with movement and silence, afternoons are free for nature walks or personal reflection, and evenings close with restorative sessions and shared meals. You’ll stay in a peaceful mountain setting surrounded by olive trees and open skies, with nourishing meals prepared daily using fresh, local ingredients. No previous retreat experience is required — this retreat is suitable for all levels and welcomes anyone seeking balance, clarity, and space to reset.
