The Exhale: A Hope Yoga Retreat in Portugal

Join us for a 5-night retreat in the mountains of Portugal—an experience centered around movement, resilience, connection, and coming back to yourself.

At Hope Yoga, we believe resilience isn’t about pushing through at all costs—it’s about learning how to pause, soften, and return to center again and again. This retreat is an invitation to step out of the noise of daily life and reconnect with what feels steady and true within you.

Set in the peaceful landscape of Serra da Estrela, our days will be intentionally structured with a balance of guided experience and spaciousness. You’ll be supported through daily yoga practices, time in nature, and shared group experiences—alongside plenty of time to rest, reflect, or simply be.

What’s Included:

• Daily yoga practices led by Founder + Owner of Hope Yoga, Jackie Walsh

• Guided hike through the natural forest with transportation included

• Exploration of nearby Portuguese mountain towns and villages

• One-hour relaxation massage

• Sound bath experience

• Wine and cheese tasting experience

• Airport transfers to and from the retreat location

• Thoughtfully curated welcome goodie bags

• All lodging and meals during the retreat (locally sourced, nourishing cuisine)

• Time for rest, journaling, integration, and personal reflection

• Space to connect with others—or intentionally disconnect when you need it

The Experience

This retreat is not about filling every moment—it’s about creating space. Some days will feel active and exploratory. Others will feel slow and quiet. Everything is optional, and you’re invited to participate in whatever way feels right for you.

Whether you’re moving through a transition, feeling stretched thin, craving clarity, or simply ready for a reset, this is a space to step back and breathe again.

Come as you are. No expectation. No pressure.

Exhale what you’ve been carrying.

Reconnect with yourself, with others, and with the natural world around you.

You don’t need to become someone new here—you just get to return to yourself.

Please note that traveling to Portugal can take anywhere from 9-16 hours depending on which flight you book. You will want to fly into Porto (OPO) airport. The retreat will start at 6pm on Wednesday, October 14th and check in begins at 4pm. When booking your flight, we suggest looking at flights that leave on Tuesday, October 13th or early on Wednesday, October 14th to ensure that you will get to our destination on time. It will take about 2 hours to get to our resort from the Porto airport.

It is recommended to come a day or two early if you'd like to settle in more but if you choose to do so those logistics will be handled on your own!
