“When you own your breath, nobody can steal your peace”
Central Portugal Retreat
Sat 21st - Thurs 26th June 2025
Introduction
Welcome to our inaugural YogaLife retreat in the breathtaking landscapes of Portugal! Rachel, Morven & Gareth are thrilled to introduce you to an immersive experience that blends various yoga practices – including slow flow, restorative flow, and yin yoga – alongside meditation, breathwork, yoga nidra, qigong, and invigorating “shake the dust” sessions.
Each day, you can indulge in two enriching yoga classes, complemented by daily meditation and yoga nidra sessions. Our retreat will also feature insightful workshops focused on Taoist and Tantric philosophies, exploring the five elements that connect us to nature and our bodies.

During these workshops, you will have the opportunity to discover your dominant archetype, enhancing your understanding of yoga philosophy and deepening your practice.
