About this trip

Ahhh Portugal.  

Have you been?  If the answer is yes, you're excited to get back but if the answer is no, then certainly you've been wanting to go!  


Join Jessica Willis and Brian Peoples at Cocoon from September 10th - 17th.  

Mid-September is the ideal time to be in southern Portugal.  The weather is deliciously warm, days are still lazy and long, and the water draws the sun's rays to heat it.  Besides beach hopping along the protected beaches of the Alentejo region, you'll enjoy world class yoga from three teachers who've studied, practiced, and refined their craft for over a decade each personally.    

There'll be day trips to explore the treasured beaches of the Alentejo region and ample down time to enjoy the farm, fresh water lake, and property.  


Jess and Brian are highly trained and talented teachers.  Their experience draws upon various yoga and mindfulness traditions including Katonah Yoga, vinyasa, meditation, Thai bodywork, Yin yoga, Wim Hof method, traditional massage therapy, Taoism, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.  


Any yoga practitioner level can join this trip, although you'll get the most out of it if you have had some experience.  We can accommodate your preferred room arrangements.  If you want to stay in a room by yourself, message us and we can change a room from a double occupancy to single occupancy.  There will be a price difference.  


Experience a playful exploration of your life through the mindfulness practices.

It may just be one week, but you'll remember it the rest of your life....

Check-in and Check-out

Check-in time on Saturday the 10th is anytime after 3pm.  Ideally between 3p and 5p.  Dinner will be the first meal served on the 10th.  


Check-out time on Saturday the 17th is 10am. We'll practice and have breakfast on the 17th.  Comporta is a popular beach town to hit on the way back to Lisbon, plan lunch at Comporta Cafe (make reservations) and another dip in the ocean.  

Total Amount due date

If you paid in full, thank you, you're all set.  

If you paid a deposit, the remaining amount is due by August 10th.  

Thank you and we can't wait to spend a week in southern Portugal with you!
