yoga and self-development retreat
Join Fiona and Sylvie for a combination of practices immersed in nature in Portugal, and experience a life changing week!
August 19-25, 2018
Situated near Coimbra - Central Portugal. This Retreat offers a chance to truly get back to nature with outdoor yoga and dining, unique yurt accommodation and situated amongst the forests of central Portugal. Wholesome food will also accompany you during the whole week- Expect three yummy vegetarian (lacto-ovo) meals a day, mostly vegan (approx 80%), occasionaly we use eggs and cheese.
This restorative week will encourage guests to connect with their deepest hearts desires, follow their heart and work towards their dreams!
The yoga practices on this retreat will incorporate empowering vinyasa sequences, strong and heating morning classes. Connecting with the earth through posture, grounding, standing, becoming aware of our foundation. Building our strength with standing postures and fire core practices. Finding the important balance between strength and flexibility. Each morning we will enjoy a 2 hour class including asana, pranayama with time for a long shavasana and meditation. Then moving to more feminine practices with gentle fluid movement, breath work, yoga nidra, meditation, intention and visualisation. The week will cover a range of yoga practices to leave you feeling refreshed and balanced and maybe having experienced a deeper connection with yourself.
The afternoon practice (2hr) will help you make a better connection between your body and your emotions, and you learn how to listen to your intuition through your body. You will start by working on acceptance of where you are in your life, then you will work on releasing fears and blockages you might have ; you willl then gradually come to understand what makes you thrive, how to bring more joy into your life and how to turn your dreams into reality. You will learn self-healing techniques that you can keep using after the retreat : Emotional Freedom Technique, inner child healing, manifesting your visualisations, energy healing and laughter. . Sylvie will provide a very safe space but please note that this type of work is therapeutic and can be quite intense, depending on where you are at in your life.

Testimonial from one of last year's participants: "I will always remember my week working with Sylvie as the week I came alive. Sylvie's sessions are wholehearted, inspiring and magical - and there is plenty space for some fun too. She makes it feel like such a safe space that you cannot help but to try out the unknown (as a quite self conscious person, never in a millions years did I think I would be giving it my all in Laughter Yoga and absolutely loving it!) and to fill your heart with all it's desires and more.
Sylvie also took me to a place I had been unable to connect with, which enabled me to finally start grieving some long held sadness which has been holding me back. For that she will always have a special place in my heart and soul. If you ever have the opportunity to meet or work with this beautiful woman, do it. Your life will be so much richer for it."
