The Breath Retreat Portugal
Casas na Ferraria
May 16 - 21, 2026
A retreat for remembering what truly matters — breath by breath.
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.
We arrive
Slowing down. Feeling the ocean. Letting your body exhale.
We explore.
Functional breathing, athletic and transformational breathwork, Kundalini, Qi Gong, Pranayama, breathwork in combination with movement flows, yoga-based stretching, meditation and sound
We 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.
Clarity rises. The breath becomes a compass, leading you inward.
An experience to reset, clearing the mind, opening the body and inviting sustainable shifts.

We gather each day in the indoor studio or outdoors on the nature deck, surrounded by the quiet beauty of Casas na Ferraria. Mornings begin in silence,unfolding into breathwork, meditation and dynamic movement flows. Evenings settle into functional breathing, restorative practice, sound healing and yoga-based stretching. Our sessions weave stillness with vibrant music (including live music), creating space to reconnect with yourself and deepen your growth.
Each day offers a thoughtful balance of guided practices and spacious personal time to read in the garden, rest by the pool, wander to the nearby beach, or simply follow what feels right. For those seeking more adventure, the coastline invites surfing, cliffside hikes, and immersion in Portugal’s wild beauty.

Our retreat home in Portugal is held by the wild beauty of the coast, just a short half-hour drive south of Lisbon. Casas na Ferraria sits within a protected natural reserve, where the air carries the scent of eucalyptus and the landscape opens into quiet valleys and ocean light. In May, warm days and soft breezes invite you to wander through native forests, rest by the pools, or walk down to the nearby beach. It’s an oasis that holds you the moment you arrive.
