A Quiet Return 2.0: The Portugal Yoga Retreat
Join us in Portugal August 2027 for a quiet return to the self.
25th - 29th August 2027
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.

Each day will unfold in a gentle, intentional rhythm, with up to twice daily yoga practices on our full days together. Our mornings will begin with a more dynamic flow [suitable for all levels], thoughtfully paired with breathwork to awaken the body and energise the mind. Evenings will be devoted to rest and deep relaxation.
There will be generous free time woven throughout the day, inviting you to spend it exactly as you wish, whether you are lounging by the freshwater pool, meditating or journalling on the rooftop terrace, or getting lost in a book in a quiet reading nook. This spaciousness is designed to offer the perfect opportunity to truly recharge.
For those who enjoy a more active form of rest, activities may be offered such as short hikes into the mountains, surf lessons, or visits to nearby towns. Everything is entirely optional — an invitation rather than an expectation. Allowing you to move at your own pace and create a retreat experience that feels uniquely your own.
You will be completely nurtured throughout your time here, with all catering handled by our private in-house chef Filipe – a Portuguese-born chef, creating nourishing vegetarian meals using local produce. From leisurely breakfasts to elegant evening dinners, each meal is thoughtfully prepared using the freshest produce and will be communal/sharing style, ensuring a dining experience that is both authentic and unforgettable.
