THE RESET
retreat in Portugal
THE ART OF SLOW-LIVING
APRIL 07 - 10
DOURO VALLEY, PORTO
As spring appears, it is time for us to be aware of what needs to be grieved in order to find newness, openness and simplicity through spring.
Slow-living is about realizing and embodying the truth as well as a slow mindful approach to every day life.
Allow yourself to experience a long weekend filled with wellness, yoga sadhana (practice, including meditation), breathwork, self-inquiry to slow down, leaving space for a reset as we welcome a new season.
Retreating into nature in a magical sacred space in the heart of the Douro Valley in Porto region, Portugal.
You will be taken to a self-discovery journey through softness and rejuvenation. You will be invited to create space and ease for a new start.

the yoga facilitator & host
LUNA
Through her teachings, Luna guides you into a deep connection between the intelligence of the body and the wisdom of the spirit, a (re)discovery of authenticity. She teaches embodied practices, meaning how to embody what is rising: the emotion, the element, the present, the truth.
The way she holds space is about allowing you to create space within the body and to find freedom.
Her background as a dancer allows her to share the grace and ease of movement, while her life's experiences have offered her the tools to learn and teach healing. It's ultimately a matter of balance . . . a return to the self.

MORE
THAN JUST
A RETREAT
"My aim is to create a safe and intimate space.
I'm not your typical yoga teacher, or at least I don't believe that I am. It's not just about Yoga, it's a way of living that I guide through an extension of my practice, beliefs and experiences.
Connection and love are the values I implement in each of my retreats. It is about embodying your truth, living each experience with more intensity and consciousness. A dance between you and your heart while being held in sacredness."
-- Luna
