Review from 2025
This is the second time I’ve been to this little piece of heaven deep in the Portuguese pine forest. It is real, honest and wonderful. Peter and Su are incredible hosts and you can do as much or as little as you like. It’s super chilled! The food is delicious, the views are to die for and the yoga, qigong, gong baths, shiatsu and everything else make for the perfect week. Their way of leading group sessions and teaching is brilliant and always exactly hits the mark. I feel reset and grateful. Thank you.

8–14 February 2026 — Mid-Winter Yoga Retreat
With Peter & Sue

This early-year retreat is ideal for releasing winter’s heaviness and welcoming the first stirrings of spring. Mornings typically include energising practices like Vinyasa Flow and Qigong to awaken vitality and support fascia release. Evenings shift toward gentle, restorative sessions — Yin Yoga, Somatic Yoga, Restorative Yoga or Yoga Nidra — helping to calm the nervous system and ground the body and mind.
Optional extras like forest walks, herbal-walk workshops, and chance evenings by the fire under the stars add a deeply restorative, soulful dimension.
29 March – 4 April 2026 & 5–11 April 2026 — “Awakening Your Inner Self” Spring Retreats
With Peter & Sue

Spring brings renewal. These retreats combine dynamic and yoga styles for awakening our mind body energy, with meditation, breathwork, and soulful inner work for transformation and self-connection. In addition to Vinyasa Flow and Qigong, participants may engage in practices such as Micro-Cosmic Orbit meditation, “Six Healing Sounds,” internal energy work (“Inner Smile”), and somatic awareness with Yin Yoga.
Nature walks among blooming flora, journaling, intention-setting, and a ceremonial fire offering support emotional release and renewal — a deep invitation to embrace personal growth, inner calm, and reset intentions for the coming months.
26 April – 2 May 2026 — Ashtanga Vinyasa & Yin Yoga Retreat
With Peter & Sue

This retreat blends the strength and alignment of traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa with the softness and meditative depth of Yin Yoga. Morning classes follow the Ashtanga Primary Series, focusing on posture, breath, and mindful gaze — building strength, flexibility, core stability and energetic alignment.
Evenings are reserved for Yin Yoga, allowing the body to rest, integrate, and access subtle energetic and fascial release. This balanced yin–yang interplay (effort + surrender) supports both physical vitality and inner calm.
Beyond the mat, expect optional sound healing gong baths, shamanic drumming, forest walks, and space for introspection — a comprehensive holistic retreat.
10–16 May 2026 — Qigong & Yin/Somatic Yoga Retreat
With Peter & Sue

This retreat is especially suited for those seeking a softer, restorative, and energy-grounding experience rather than an intense physical practice. The rhythm encourages breath, mindfulness, and gentle opening — ideal for release, healing, or re-connection with inner rhythms.
17–23 May 2026 — Shamanic Retreat
A more spiritually oriented week combining yoga, energy, and shamanic practices under the guidance of experienced facilitators. Expect a mix of movement, meditation, ritual, and inner-work — tailored for those who want to open up to deeper aspects of self, explore healing paths, and connect with something beyond the physical body. A transformative week for seekers of inner journey and spiritual growth.

Reviews
I absolutely loved my time at this beautiful location when I attended the Vinyasa and Yin retreat, it was well worth the cost, I was just sorry to leave and since have returned for a second week for the Ashtanga week which again did not disappoint - Peter and Sue are friendly hosts and fantastic knowledgeable teachers which has helped me take my yoga practice to the next level and experience other elements new to me such as Qigong which complemented the practice really well. The accommodation is simple but rustic and beautifully done - perfect for being immersed in nature and going for walks.
I have had a truly rejuvenating and enriching stay. not only do i feel well rested and energized, more so leaving with the feeling of motivation and am inspired to return home again. what marks this retreat as unique is the wholesome balance which peter and sue achieve in the way they live. They enjoy a beautiful and respectful relationship with the earth in this part of Europe and this is reflected in there yoga practice and there diet. There macrobiotic lifestyle means that nothing is wasted and everything is free to move through the cycle of nature. this balance is captured in there approach to yoga and you are taught the dynamics by which to reconnect with the breath with the earth and with your inner awareness. What i found refreshing was the unpretentious way peter and sue where able to recreate the conditions by which i was able to reconnect with nature.
