Empowering Women 50+ to Thrive with Mindful Movement and Breathwork.
Join us for a rejuvenating 7-day Retreat in the stunning Algarve, Portugal in June ’25. Set in a small village in the Algarve hills, 25 min from the beach, this retreat offers the perfect space to reconnect with yourself, find balance, and nurture your mind, body, and spirit.
What to Expect:
- Daily Yoga: Start each day with yoga sessions tailored for all levels, designed to enhance the body’s natural healing, reducing inflammation, balancing hormones… Veronique will guide you through a mix of Hatha and Vinyasa flow, helping you feel better in your body.
- Mindful Walks in Nature: Explore the beauty of the Algarve through mindful walks in the hills. These walks are an opportunity to reconnect with nature, practice presence, and reflect, as you absorb the healing energy of the landscape.
- Breathwork: Discover the transformative power of breath through guided breathwork sessions, including two Conscious Connected Breath sessions. This practice will allow you to release emotional tension and unlock a sense of freedom within. Find out more here.
- Nourishing Plant-Based Meals: Indulge in delicious, nutrient-dense plant-based meals that will support your wellbeing from the inside out. We use fresh, local, and mostly organic ingredients to prepare balanced meals that are as nourishing as they are flavourful.
- Time for Rest & Reflection: In addition to our scheduled activities, you’ll have plenty of time for self-reflection, relaxation, and connecting with like-minded women. Whether you wish to enjoy a quiet moment by the pool, journal, or soak in the beauty of the Algarve, this retreat is designed to offer space for rest and renewal.
Who is This For?
This retreat is open to all, whether you’re looking to deepen your yoga practice, reconnect with yourself, or simply enjoy a peaceful escape. No prior experience in yoga or breathwork is necessary—just a willingness to show up for yourself and embrace the journey.
