6 Day Wellness, Yoga and Pilates Retreat in Porto, Portugal

The 6 Day Wellness, Yoga and Pilates Retreat in Porto is a comprehensive wellness experience that combines physical fitness with mental relaxation. The retreat is hosted at OM Academy & Mind Spa, a wellness center founded by Rui, a former investment banker who has been practicing yoga and meditation since 2011. The academy brings together yoga, pilates, fitness, meditation, and sound therapy in a serene setting next to the Botanical Garden.

Each day, guests can participate in up to five yoga, pilates, and fitness classes, choosing from a diverse schedule that includes hatha/vinyasa yoga, aerial yoga, hot yoga, power yoga, pilates machines, and functional training. The instructors are highly trained and experienced, offering personalized guidance to help you deepen your practice or try something new. The retreat also includes daily meditation and relaxation sessions in the Ganban Room, where the heated volcanic rock floor and immersive 3D sound system create a unique sensory experience.

A highlight of the retreat is the daily sound bath, which uses low-frequency sound waves from instruments like crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, and gongs to induce deep relaxation and meditative states. Guests also receive a 90-minute live sound healing session and a 90-minute Indian relaxation massage. Workshops on wellness topics such as mindfulness, healthy eating, and stress management are held on Monday mornings, providing valuable insights for a healthier lifestyle.

The retreat is designed to be as intensive or laid-back as you prefer. For those seeking a deeper cleanse, a detox juice program is available at an extra cost, and there are optional nutritionist consultations. Guests can also book additional therapies like Thai massage, reflexology, or Kobido facial massage. With its perfect balance of activity and relaxation, this retreat promises to leave you feeling rejuvenated, stronger, and more at peace.
