Home › Retreats › 5-Day Women's Yoga & Mindfulness Restorative Escape in Portugal
Portugal · 5 days · From USD 1867
The retreat is hosted by Alexandra, a yoga teacher with a background in ballet and dance, and a special certification in pre and post natal yoga. She has also had doula training, so she's well-equipped to support women at different life stages, including pregnancy and postpartum. Her teaching style is supportive and adaptable, with modifications offered so that everyone, from beginners to more experienced practitioners, can practice at their own level.
Days typically start with a sunrise yoga class—Dynamic Flow, Sculpt Flow, or Mandala Yoga—followed by breakfast. Afternoons include time for a gentle hike, pool-side relaxation, or creative workshops like the Mandala Workshop. Each day also includes a one-to-one breathwork and mindfulness session, which is a chance to go deeper into nervous system regulation and personal reflection.
The location is special: the retreat home is part of the Casas na Ferraria estate, surrounded by century-old cork oaks and open meadows. The property has a pool, sauna, yoga shala, and bicycle rental, and it's close to hiking and cycling trails. Despite the peaceful countryside setting, Lisbon's airport is just a 30-40 minute transfer away, making it easy to reach.
What really sets this retreat apart is the focus on rest and restoration rather than pushing yourself. The schedule has plenty of free time, and the group is kept small to maintain a calm, unhurried atmosphere. The food is vegetarian, local, and seasonal, prepared by a private chef, and there's an emphasis on nourishment that supports your wellbeing throughout the stay.
The retreat ends with a closing circle on the final morning, leaving you feeling grounded and revived. It's ideal for anyone who needs a break from the demands of daily life and wants to prioritize rest, mindfulness, and gentle movement in a beautiful natural setting.
