We set this group up to share information about our yoga and breathwork retreats. We have hosted yoga, yoga therapy and breathwork retreats since 2011. We are really grateful to have the opportunity to share our knowledge and experience in a unique retreat setting. We are really focused on creating an environment where our guests have the opportunity to let go of the stress of their daily lives and immerse themselves in their yoga practice, make good friends and have a wonderful time together.

Yoga Retreat for People living with MS - Algarve in October ’25
Casa Mukta (18),, Sitio da Amendoeira, Querença, PT
I started with Yoga when I was diagnosed with MS and became a teacher in 2008. Over the years, I have developed my own approach to yoga for MS, based on my professional and personal experience but also on based on scientific evidence. This is what I wish to share with you. (For detailed Bio please click [here](https://tamingthewalrus.com/my-story/)) This retreat is for 8 persons maximum, which is ideal to ensure I can give everyone my full attention and work with you on what you need most. We will explore how to manage specific MS symptoms but also how to feel better and release tension or stress.
