The Breath Retreat Portugal
Casas na Ferraria
May 16 - 21, 2026
With each breath, you open a little more to who you truly are.
Six days on Portugal’s wild coast, a retreat built around the breath, unfolding like a story.
Each day a new chapter in how you meet yourself.
You arrive to land.
Slowing down. Feeling the ocean. Letting your body exhale.
You settle.
Morning practices that root you, spacious afternoons that open you.
Nature begins to hold you in its rhythm.
You explore.
Slow breathing, functional breathing, breath holds, fast breathing.
Techniques that reveal how chemistry shifts mood, presence, emotion.
You feel layers move, tension, story, habit, all through the gateway of breath.
You expand.
Clarity rises. The breath becomes a compass, leading you inward.
You integrate.
Quiet shifts, new space within, a softness you can feel.
You return.
Not back to life as it was, but back home to yourself, with a regulated nervous system, a steadier presence, and a breath that supports you.
A retreat for remembering what truly matters — breath by breath.
Experience the transformative power of breath, movement practices, and stillness, cultivating a more centered and resilient version of yourself in a nurturing and restorative setting.

During the retreat, we will be practicing in a stunning studio or outdoors, surrounded by the natural beauty of Casas na Ferraria. The space is fully equipped with all necessary props and mats, ensuring comfort and ease during your practice. Each morning begins in silence, offering diverse practices such as breathwork, meditation, chanting, and dynamic movement flows to awaken the body and mind. Evenings are dedicated to calming and restorative activities, including breathwork, sound healing, and yin + restorative yoga. Our sessions blend moments of stillness with vibrant music, designed to deepen your self-connection and foster personal growth.
Between group classes, you’ll have plenty of personal time to enjoy the retreat your way—whether it’s unwinding with a book in the garden, soaking up the sun by the pool, or taking a walk to the nearby beach. For the more adventurous, the area offers excellent surfing spots, coastal hiking trails, and breathtaking ocean views to immerse yourself in Portugal’s natural beauty.
We teach primarily in English, but guidance in German is also available.
