📍Itamambuca Beach, Brazil
Join me for seven days of yoga, adventure, and meaningful connection on one of Brazil's most beautiful coastlines.
We'll practice yoga twice every day, surf beginner-friendly waves, hike to waterfalls, kayak along the Itamambuca River, explore nearby islands by boat, enjoy incredible food, and have plenty of time to slow down and simply enjoy being here.
I grew up visiting this part of Brazil with family and friends before moving to the U.S., and it's incredibly special to be able to share it with you.
Many attendees join on their own, and it's always fun to watch new friendships begin to form throughout the week. But if you already have someone you'd love to share this experience with, bring them along!
Our mornings begin with yoga, followed by breakfast and the day's adventure.
Afternoons are yours to spend however you'd like: relaxing by the river, walking to the beach, booking a massage, exploring the village, or simply reading in a hammock.
Evenings are for yin or restorative yoga, delicious dinners, and conversations or games around the bonfire.
Nestled between the Atlantic Rainforest, the Itamambuca River, and the beach, Moksha is the perfect base for our week together.
You'll find open-air spaces, a spacious yoga shala, cozy corners to read or journal, and plenty of places to simply relax between adventures.
The rooms are bright, comfortable, and surrounded by nature, with private bathrooms, ceiling fans, and everything you need to feel at home.
This is a small retreat on purpose. With just 8 guests, there's plenty of space to get to know each other while still having time for yourself :)
Whether you're brand new to yoga and surfing or already have experience, you'll be supported every step of the way.
Some people come looking for adventure. Others come to rest, reconnect with themselves, experience a new country and culture, or simply spend a week surrounded by nature.
Many guests come on their own, while others bring a friend or family member. Either way, you'll be welcome here!
Please book your flight to São Paulo Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) and plan to arrive on October 13th by 10:00 AM. If you're traveling internationally, you'll most likely depart your home country on October 12th.
A group transfer from GRU to the villa is included and will leave around 10:30 AM. If your flight arrives later, transportation can still be arranged, but it won't be included in the retreat price.
If your journey is a long one, you're welcome to arrive in São Paulo a day early and meet the group at the airport on the morning of November 6.
The drive to Itamambuca takes about 2.5–3 hours through beautiful mountains and coastline.
A few weeks before the retreat, we'll meet on Zoom to go over the e-visa process, collect everyone's flight details, answer questions, and make sure you feel ready for the trip.
Your $550 deposit is non-refundable.
If you need to cancel within 7 days of booking, any payments made beyond the deposit will be refunded.
Because accommodations, transportation, and retreat expenses are committed well in advance, cancellations made after the 7-day cancellation period are non-refundable.
I strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that includes trip cancellation and interruption coverage to protect your investment in the event of illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances.
Roundtrip van from São Paulo (GRU) airport to the retreat.
Two classes with Fernanda combining vinyasa flows and yin/restorative flows.
Journaling and activities connect deeper with yourself.
6 nights at Moksha Surf Yoga Villas, immersed in the nature of Itamambuca.
Fresh, nourishing meals prepared with local ingredients. See exceptions below.
Water, fresh juice, tea, and coffee throughout the retreat.
30-minute massage to release tension after the flight.
Swim in crystal-clear waters surrounded by lush forest.
A playful session to reconnect with your sense of freedom, flow, and joy in the water, open to all skill levels.
Explore local flavors and the coastal energy of Ubatuba and Itamambuca.
Full-day boat trip to hidden islands and private beaches.
Glide through the calm waters of the Itamambuca River, immersed in the sounds, colors, and birdlife of the Atlantic Rainforest, until reaching Itamambuca Beach.
A warm Zoom gathering where we walk through the journey together, go over the details, connect as a group, and help you feel prepared and excited for what’s ahead.
