We will be staying in a traditional Portuguese home and garden, a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. Your teachers, Keren Gaiser and Viviana Lahrs, will guide you through morning yoga, breath work, and guided voice and movement sessions. Afternoons will include one guided city tour, one surprise dance class in the city, free time to explore on your own, enjoy a massage or simply rest. In the evenings you’ll have the opportunity to dine at amazing local restaurants, stroll along the river, sit around the fire pit with new friends, or enjoy a relaxing sauna. Whether you're seeking more ease in your body or simply curious about connecting to your voice, this restorative retreat offers space to unwind, explore, and come home to yourself—surrounded by the beauty of Portugal's most inspiring cities.

We will be staying at Held Space. A delightful traditional Portuguese home and garden, a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. There is a mix of double, single, and shared bunk room occupancy available. All rooms are en-suite rooms that can be set up as single king or two double beds. We also have a one bedroom apartment across the street for those looking for a little more space on your free time.
Our classes will be held in the Sanctuary, a day-lit garden level indoor Yoga Room with massive stone walls (which the house is made of) that keeps the rooms naturally cool.
On your free time rest in the peaceful nooks of the garden, gather in the cool stone Grotto, or rejuvenate with a sauna/ cold shower combo.
The food will consist of plenty of fresh and local cuisine. Vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options will be available as well. Although it’s impossible to customize the menu to perfectly accommodate everyone’s individual requests especially in a foreign country such as Portugal, we will try to account for dietary restrictions and allergies so please make sure to note them during the registration process.
Porto is known for its amazing cuisine, so we’ve also made sure to leave ample free time for you to explore and experience meals on your own – to the extent you don’t see a meal listed in the schedule, those meals are not included as part of the retreat or ticket price.
There is no alcohol available at the venue or planned with the catered meals. If desired, you will be able to purchase outside of the venue in town.
There are no refunds. Unfortunately, we must enforce a strict cancellation policy and there will be no refunds in any instance. You may transfer your ticket under certain conditions. Also, purchasing trip insurance to protect yourself is always a good idea. Please see our trip FAQ on our website for more details or email us at info@resoundretreats.com
