This Retreat Is For You If…

You want to practice Jivamukti Yoga, smell the ocean air, see the city with friends and still have space to breathe.

The Experience

(or what makes this retreat different)

Most retreats ask you to choose:

  • Depth or real life

  • Structure or freedom

  • Spiritual practice or pleasure and beauty

This retreat holds both — intentionally.

Through daily Jivamukti yoga, ritual, philosophy woven into movement, and then spacious time to explore, wander, and integrate, you’ll learn how to carry the practice with you — not leave it behind.

This is yoga that meets you where life is happening.

The Journey

Part 1

Ericeira — Ocean, Rhythm & Retreat

(4 nights)

We begin at Alma do Paço retreat centre near the ocean, where days are anchored in practice and presence.

Here you’ll experience:

  • Daily Jivamukti yoga practices (vinyasa, meditation, chanting, restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra)

  • Spacious afternoons for rest, walks, or time by the sea or the local town, both are a short walk away

  • Nourishing breakfast and dinners

  • A slower rhythm that allows the nervous system to soften

  • Ceremony

  • A deepening sense of devotion, clarity, and connection

This is where the body remembers how to listen.

The Venue: Alma do Paco

Part 2

Lisbon — City, Culture & Integration

(3 nights)

After our final morning practice at the retreat centre and some beach time, we travel together to Lisbon — bringing the practice into the pulse of the city.

In Lisbon, we gather for:

  • Daily Yoga practices in a beautiful studio space

  • A closing ceremony to integrate the journey

  • One included group dinner

  • Optional shared experiences ( a wine tour)

And in between?
Time to explore, shop, rest, wander, and live.

This is where the practice becomes yours.

A narrow cobblestone street in a European city, lined with colorful old buildings with balconies, windows, and weathered walls, under a clear blue sky.

Who this retreat is for

This retreat is for you if:

  • You love yoga and the world

  • You’re drawn to Jivamukti yoga and its roots in devotion, ethics, and embodied practice

  • You want depth and fun

  • You crave both connection and space to be alone

  • You’re ready to live your yoga — not just practice it

This is not a party trip.
And it’s not a silent retreat.

It’s for people who want to feel alive, clear, and rooted — in movement and in life.

Meet your teachers

For nearly 20 years, Jonni-Lyn Friel has been guiding students to discover that yoga is about so much more than movement. Her classes are an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience the clarity, strength, and joy that come from an authentic yoga practice.

Originally from Canada, Jonni-Lyn spent many years living and teaching in Greece before returning to the West Coast, where she founded Namaha Yoga School. She is an E-RYT 500, E-RYT 200, RPYT, and Jivamukti Yoga teacher who has led teacher trainings, retreats, and workshops internationally.

Inspired by the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and the Jivamukti tradition, Jonni-Lyn blends thoughtful sequencing, philosophy, meditation, and breathwork into every class. Her teaching is known for being both accessible and deeply meaningful, creating space for students to challenge themselves while feeling supported every step of the way.

Whether this is your first retreat or your tenth, Jonni-Lyn's intention is simple: that you leave Portugal feeling stronger in your body, quieter in your mind, and more connected to the person you are when life slows down.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. This retreat is open to practitioners of all yoga backgrounds.

    While the classes are rooted in the Jivamukti tradition — weaving together vinyasa, meditation, chanting, and philosophy — the practices are accessible, thoughtfully layered, and offered with options. A willingness to explore movement, breath, and presence is all that’s required.

  • The beach is a popular surfing beach about a 15 minute walk away. It has a cafe and restaurant there as well as surf shops.

  • Absolutely. Many participants come solo.

    If you’re open to sharing a room, we’re happy to pair you with a compatible roommate whenever possible. Solo travelers often find retreats to be a deeply nourishing way to connect — both with themselves and others. By the end of we are all family!

  • Accommodation in Lisbon is not included in the retreat price.

    This is intentional — it allows you to choose a hotel that suits your comfort level, budget, and travel style. Not everyone has the same budget and I want to honour that. A recommended group hotel will be shared for those who wish to stay nearby. It is mid-range and includes breakfast and the one I will stay in.

    We will still gather daily for yoga, ceremony, and shared experiences.

  • Yes.

    By the time we arrive in Lisbon, the group will already be well bonded from the retreat portion in Ericeira. Daily yoga gatherings, group transport, shared meals, and the closing ceremony create a strong container — while allowing space for autonomy and exploration.

  • The retreat price includes:

    • 4 nights accommodation at the retreat centre in Ericeira

    • Daily yoga practices during the retreat portion

    • Final morning practice before departure

    • Group transfer from Ericeira to Lisbon

    • 3 yoga gatherings in Lisbon (including a closing ceremony)

    • Yoga space rentals in Lisbon

    • One included group dinner in Lisbon

    • Retreat facilitation, teaching, and guidance throughout

    • Accommodation in Lisbon

    • Flights and travel insurance

    • Optional wine tour

    • Additional meals in Lisbon

  • Yes, of course! Please reach out directly to inquire.

    Payment plans are available depending on timing and availability.

    A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your space, with the remaining balance due before the retreat begins. Full payment details will be shared at the time of booking.

  • Due to the nature of retreat logistics (meaning everything must be pre-paid by me) payments are non-refundable.

    We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment.

  • Group transportation from Ericeira to Lisbon is included.

    Transportation to and from Portugal, is not included. Transportation from Lisbon to the retreat center is only included in the early bird price, otherwise it is your responsibility.

  • This retreat is a boutique, intentionally designed experience.

    Pricing reflects:

    • Small group size

    • Quality accommodations

    • Daily yoga programming

    • Professional facilitation

    • Thoughtful logistics

    • An international, multi-location experience

    This is not a mass-market retreat — it’s a carefully curated container for depth, integration, and transformation.

  • Basically because I have to pay for everything in Euros and it simplifies things.
