YOGA & BARRE RETREAT
PORTUGAL - OCTOBER 2024
This October we're offering our next FORM retreat in beautiful and beloved Portugal - with her calming nature, delicious food and lovely local culture.
Get ready for a recharging week full of self-immersion, movement, food and togetherness.
​
​
The intention of this retreat is to host a safe space for like-minded people to come together in and submerse themselves in nature, movement and peace. A week where you get to deepen your movement practice by exploring and learning new methods and techniques. A moment for yourself to get away from it all. A chance to share moments of gratitude, kindness, relaxation and fun with a small group of lovely people in an intimate and warm setting.
​
The retreat location is on a one of a kind estate, located about 30 minutes south of Lisbon. Eucalyptus and pine trees surround the area with their lush looks and smells as you will feel truly removed from urban life on this renovated typical Portuguese farm.
​
The venue is owned by a passionate architect, who, during the renovation, conserved the elemental structures and proportions of the original site. In doing so the essence of the property has remained while enhancing and renewing it to a modern design with sleek interior.
​
The 550m2 private villa consists of 8 beautiful rooms, each with private en-suite bathroom and balcony. There's also a very large living room, a lovely terrace, a (heated) salt-water pool to relax by, and 130 hectares of nature to enjoy and explore.
