Home › Retreats › Jivamukti Yoga and Hiking Week in Madeira with Nathalie Wahlberg
Portugal · 8 days
Mornings start with Jivamukti Yoga, a method that combines asana, breath work, music, chanting and philosophy into sequences that shift between energy and stillness, strength and flexibility. Nathalie Wahlberg leads every session. On hiking days the practice is shorter and the day is built around the trail; on non-hiking days there are two longer workshops, plus sessions focused on mobility and strength, and restorative practice.
The three guided hikes are the spine of the week. Madeira's landscapes — lush greenery, dramatic mountain formations and sweeping Atlantic views — are treated as an extension of the practice rather than a separate activity. Local guides lead all three, and transport to and from each hike is included.
Afternoons and evenings without hiking are left open. You can use the hotel's spa with its heated indoor pool, swim in the outdoor pool, walk the botanical garden, or head out to explore the island at your own pace. The schedule deliberately leaves room for rest and for the conversations that happen when a group spends a week together.
The hotel, Quinta Splendida, is a four-star property in a restored 19th-century manor house. Its kitchen keeps its own herb garden, and the grounds hold over 1,000 plant species. Breakfast is a buffet at the hotel; one lunch and six dinners are also included, with drinks not covered.
This is a small-group trip run in collaboration with GoActive, and it is priced with flights from Stockholm Arlanda included. If you are flying from another country or airport, you can arrange your own flights and receive a price reduction. Booking more than 120 days in advance with the code BOKATIDIGT takes 750 SEK off.
