✧ This Retreat Is For You If…
You want meaningful movement, ocean air, city culture, and space to breathe — without rushing or over-scheduling.
This is not an escape.
It’s an integration.
You don’t need to disappear from your life to feel grounded again.
You don’t need another retreat that feels beautiful… and then fades.
What you’re craving is continuity — a way for your yoga practice to live in your body, your choices, and your everyday rhythm.
Surf & City is a two-part journey designed to do exactly that.
Ocean to city.
Practice to lived experience.
Devotion to embodiment.
The experience
(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
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.
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.
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

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.

Why now?
Because there will always be another season.
Another year.
Another reason to wait.
But this version of you — the one who feels the pull toward depth, beauty, and embodiment — is here now.
And this container, this place, this moment —
it won’t repeat itself in the same way again.
This is not just a retreat you attend
It’s a chapter you step into
You’ll return home:
More grounded
More embodied
More clear about how you want to live
Not because life got quieter —
but because you did.
Ready to Feel It?
This isn't about adding another retreat to your history.
It's about creating a new way of moving through your life.
Your next step is simple:
Click 'Reserve Your Spot'
Choose your room (they're filling)
Pack for ocean and city
In September, you won't just be going to Portugal.
You'll be meeting the version of yourself who knows how to carry peace into pulse, practice into life, devotion into daily living.
This chapter needs you in it."
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)

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.
