6 Day Nervous System Reset and Yoga Retreat in Caminha, Portugal

Return to Calm was created by Justine, who knows the feeling of being burned out from the constant pace of modern life. She designed the retreat as a space to truly disconnect and reset, and that's the energy that runs through the week. Every day includes a morning Vinyasa flow, a guided meditation, and a workshop that gives you something concrete to reflect on. The afternoons are unscheduled, so you can genuinely rest or join optional outings.

The setting at Wood Mood is a big part of the experience. The lodges are surrounded by forests and mountains near the coast, with a pool, garden, and a yoga shala. The location is quiet and feels far from everything, even though Porto is only 50 minutes away. There are walking trails and beaches nearby, and the town of Caminha is a short wander for a coffee or a look around.

Justine is a 200-hour Yin and Vinyasa yoga teacher and sound practitioner with a background in the beauty industry. She brings breathwork, somatic techniques, and sound bowl meditation into her work, aiming to help people build calm, sustainable routines. Luis, a native of northern Portugal, has a background in engineering and teaches Hatha, Vinyasa, and meditation with a focus on making yoga accessible to everyone.

The retreat is limited to a small group, which keeps things personal and welcoming. Meals are all provided, prepared by Luis's wife, who cooks fresh, wholesome food that caters to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets. The full program is designed to feel pressure-free, so you can join in as much or as little as you like.
