A Quiet Return: The Portugal Yoga Retreat

Join us in Portugal this August for a quiet return to the self.

19th - 23rd August 2026

You are Invited…

...to step away from the noise of the day-to-day and join Ellisha this August at the beautiful Casa de Cura, nestled in the Portuguese mountains of the Algarve. Together we will move intentionally, eat communally and of course rest (to what degree, is completely up to you). Your home for these 4 nights/5 days is a haven of slow living, where the soft rhythm of mountain life blends with the sacred energy of ancient practice.

Whether you’re a devoted parent or caregiver ready to pour back into yourself, a business owner juggling it all, a freelance creative craving a reset, or simply someone longing to slow down and reconnect — this retreat is designed with you in mind, offering you a calm space to recharge, recalibrate and return to your truest self with renewed depth and clarity.

Your Host

Ellisha will be your facilitator, gently guiding you through every stage of this retreat. With 250hrs of training across Vinyasa and Yin, she weaves together these diverse disciplines to offer practices that are both energising and deeply restorative.

Her signature style is dynamic and fluid, often incorporating a 360 approach to sequencing that explores movement from every angle. At the same time, she creates space for stillness and integration, ensuring each session feels balanced, intentional and accessible to all levels.

Alongside teaching regular classes, Ellisha has successfully hosted a variety of wellness events across the North East, building supportive spaces that bring people together through intentional and embodied movement, connection and community. She has also had the pleasure of assisting on multiple beautiful retreats abroad and understands how important and special these containers really are. Her ability to hold space, adapt intuitively and add her distinctive touch ensures every experience feels thoughtful, inclusive and memorable.
