Summary

We invite you to our Back to the Roots 2.0 retreat in Portugal, just a few minutes from the sea, for five days full of yoga, Ayurveda, healthy eating and somatic exercises. A retreat awaits you where wellness, exercise, healthy eating and inner peace come together - with a pool, sauna, garden and sea right nearby.

During this week, you can relax together with a small, mindful community, recharge your batteries, deepen your knowledge of health and nutrition and learn practical exercises for body and mind at the same time.

This retreat is based on three principles that underpin all our retreats:

1. yoga: classical and gentle sessions (vinyasa & yin), meditation and pranayama to ground you, awaken energy and bring you into the moment.

2. sound healing: the power of sound and sound ceremonies with Tibetan singing bowls that promote relaxation, emotional balance and inner peace.

3. ayurveda: the wisdom of life - here you will learn how nutrition, lifestyle and holistic healing methods can support your well-being in the long term. This includes workshops, practical tips, a cooking course and delicious, healthy meals that show how food can act as medicine.

In addition to these three pillars, the retreat includes somatic exercises, breathwork, meditation, cacao ceremonies and other small workshops to deepen your journey to yourself. Each session is designed to make you feel supported, whether you are a beginner or a long-time practitioner.

Anne and Laura will guide you with a lot of heart, experience and passion. Anne has been teaching yoga, sound healing and Ayurveda since 2020, has over 1000 hours of certification in Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin Yoga, Sound Healing, Ayurveda and Bhakti Yoga and regularly travels to India to deepen her practice. Laura, yoga teacher since 2020, lives in Berlin, brings warmth, lightness and presence to every session and combines movement, meditation and reflection in an inspiring, mindful way.

After this week, you will go home invigorated, inspired and with many tools and impulses that you can integrate directly into your everyday life.

Prices from 790 euros | Early Bird valid until 31.12.2025

The Saone Guesthouse is perfectly equipped for all-round relaxation. The three floors of the modern coastal villa offer plenty of space and light. There is a large eat-in kitchen, a cozy living room with a fireplace and a reading corner. In the garden you will find a pool, hammocks and sun loungers to enjoy the sun.
