🌿 Find Your Center; Casével Serenity Retreat | April 12–17, 2025

Location: Quinta Carvalhas, Casével, Portugal

Our 5-day Casével Serenity Retreat brought together an incredible group of yogis for a heart-opening journey of movement, stillness, and connection in the peaceful countryside of Portugal. Hosted at the enchanting Quinta Carvalhas Retreat Center, this experience was designed to realign the body, calm the mind, and nourish the soul.

Each day blended:

• Daily yoga practices focusing on alignment, amplifications, and modifications

• Meditation, pranayama, and yoga philosophy rooted in the Yamas and Niyamas

• Healing experiences, including sound therapy and massage

• Time to rest, explore, and connect with nature

We also ventured off the mat for a full-day excursion to Óbidos, where we explored the Buddha Eden Garden, visited a medieval castle, and tasted local Ginja liqueur. Optional experiences like wine tasting added a delicious local touch.

With nourishing meals, serene surroundings, and a conscious community, this retreat was a powerful reset for the body and heart. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for this memorable journey—and we can't wait to gather again.
