SOULFUL YOGA & SELF LOVE RETREAT
- ALENTEJO PORTUGAL
SEP 27 - OCT 2 (3 SPOTS LEFT!)
BOOKINGS: HELLO@AKHILAYOGARETREATS.COM
WELCOME FRIENDS!
This Soulful Yoga and Self-Love Retreat is a unique 6-day portal for exploring what it means to truly live with awareness and compassion in our everyday lives. Whether we are practicing yoga or meditation, talking with our friends, or even doing the dishes, when we move from a place of deep, centered peace we can evoke deep transformation not just within, but also to those around us.
This will all take place in a stunning, private, luxury villa in the hills of Alentejo, Portugal, surrounded by orange groves and a cork forest on this spacious private property.
It's happening, and we can't wait to welcome you!
On this journey we will go back to basics and ask ourselves - Why do we practice yoga? Why do we meditate? What am I willing to let go of? What is my life devoted to?
We will work through the powerful RITUALS of :
-
Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin Yoga
-
Breath-work
-
Somatic movement release
-
Crystal bowl sound bath
-
Massage therapy
-
Guided meditations
-
Sacred silence
-
Nutrition workshops
-
Mindful walks in nature
-
Sharing circles
-
Self-love practices
-
Fire Ceremony
We will gather together in silence every morning for our movement practice with a 360-degree view of the wonderful nature around us.
PROGRAM
The intention for this offering is to retreat, rest and soften into the power of Self Love through very REAL and RAW practices.
We will go through the tricky stuff together. Throughout this week you are seen, held, and accepted. From this place, we can blossom into our most authentic and full expression!
Your facilitators have years of experience holding safe containers for real healing to take place.
Join us! Step into the Autumn season remembering your wholeness, your aliveness.

TESTIMONIALS
Nic and the Akhila retreat were nothing short of magical. This 6-day journey into yoga, self-love, and mindfulness left an indelible mark on my soul. The retreat was a true portal to understanding the profound impact of living with awareness and compassion in our everyday lives.
The range of yoga practices offered, from Ayurveda to Vinyasa, opened up new dimensions of self-discovery. Every session felt like a transformative experience, guided by Nic's wisdom and the warmth of her team.
The retreat's location was a slice of paradise, the vegan cuisine an exquisite treat for the senses, and the balance between structure and flexibility was just perfect. Most importantly, under Nic's guidance, I found myself coming home to myself. This retreat has not only enriched my time there but continues to inspire and elevate my daily life.
I can't recommend the Akhila retreat highly enough. It's a life-changing experience that has left an enduring imprint on my journey toward self-love and inner peace. Thank you, Nic, for this profound gift. I will forever be grateful.

A massive thank you from my heart to yours. The recent retreat held in Alentejo, September 2023 was so incredibly special. The Akhila Yoga Retreat team paid such attention to detail, nourishing guests with beautiful practices of yoga, pranayama, meditation and sound, fed us with delicious, homemade, colourful works of art and gave us the space to just be. I would highly recommend going on retreat with this team, who bring their wisdom, love and attention to hold space in a supportive and caring way. THANK YOU!

This retreat is far more than just the physical aspect of yoga - one can expect ecstatic dance, mantras, yoga Nidra, massage, and much more. (Oh - and the food is AMAZING! Each meal is a culinary retreat in itself!). This retreat really exceeded my expectations. - Rachel April 2022
