I recently returned from a luxury retreat in the Algarve and the experience was nothing short of transformative. The villa was nestled in the serene coastal hills, the setting alone felt like a deep exhale. The coast was full of ohhs and ahhhs, every corner we turned. Our excursions were thoughtfully chosen to reflect the beauty of the Algarve and it's people. From a hike along the coast, a sailing trip with drinks and tapas to the countryside tour with winery, all were top notch.
The retreat offered a perfect balance of daily yoga flows (suitable for every level), guided meditation, and deeply restorative sound healing sessions. This was just the reset my nervous system needed! My sleep tracker documented that I was getting over an hour of deep sleep each night, my 6 month average before the retreat was 6 minutes!
The instructors, Steph and Steph, were intuitive and knowledgeable. They created a space where I felt supported to disconnect, reset and reconnect with myself. The energy of the group was grounded and open, and I truly felt nurtured in every way. Steph hand picked our amazing chef, Roos, who provided us with amazing, nourishing meals that supported everyone's dietary needs.
This wasn't a vacation, it was so much more. I returned home lighter, clearer and more intuitive. Highly recommend any yoga retreat with Steph. Looking forward to planning my next retreat with her!
