Join me as I return to Southern Portugal this May in an exclusive 6-suite villa located in the heart of the tranquil Comporta - Grândola - Melides triangle.
Our theme "Embracing the Slow" invites you to pause. To spend a week diving deep into your sadhana with fellow souls who’s recognise that the commitment to your practice is a commitment to heal. This retreat is about softening into simplicity — reconnecting with your body, your breath, and the beauty of unrushed living. Come as you are, and leave with a steadier heart, a clearer mind, and a deeper sense of peace.
Through practices focused on mindfulness, movement, and connection with nature, you'll cultivate a strong foundation that supports growth and resilience. Set in the serene surroundings of Portugal's coastline, this retreat offers the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect, and more about the transformative teaching of Yoga.
Just a 1.5-hour drive from Lisbon, 30 mins from the Atlantic beaches of Portugal’s Alentejo and the cool coastline of Comporta is a landscape filled with heavy cork trees, caramel cows, secret beaches and a slower pace of life.
It’s here that I will guide you through transformative morning practices, honouring, remembering and reconnecting, Philosophy talks, and evenings filled with of restorative movement and workshops to delve even deeper into the teachings.
A heart-led week shared with others, embodying the teachings of yoga both on and off the mat, so we can cultivate the tools to use them and move through our world with more ease and peace.
