Self Empowerment Yoga & Human Design Retreat
Retreat to a serene, beautiful location where you will dive into all aspects of your being - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. You will feel the layers of not-self peeling away, allowing your inner voice to be heard and for you to embrace your true, authentic self.
The Dream Location
Paço D’Ilhas - the best of both worlds
Located, just a short 40 minute drive Paço D’Ilhas is located on an elusive hilltop overlooking the world renowned surfbreaks of the Ericeira world surfing reserve on one side and the lush countryside of Santo Isodoro Municipality on the other side. Set in a quiet outskirt of Ericeira, we are surrounded by the nature and wake up with the sound of the breaking waves when a good swell hits our shores.
The Journey
Feel Strong & Confident in Your Body
Daily Yoga classes designed to take you on a journey back home to yourself. You will become stronger, more flexible, and have a better relationship and connection with your body and its needs. You can expect to be at times challenges, but always guided and supported to move at your own pace and rhythm of your body.
Connection to your Highest Potential
