What we’re about
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.

See all- Wise & Well Retreat with Véronique GauthierCasa Mukta (18),, Querença
Empowering Women to Thrive with Yoga and Breathwork.
Do you feel tired? Do you need to replenish your energy, look after your body – including your brain- and your mind?
Join us for a very special 7-day Retreat in the stunning Algarve, Portugal in June ’25. Set in a small village in the Algarve hills, 20 min from the beach, this retreat offers the perfect space to reconnect with your inner wisdom, find balance, and nurture your mind, body, and spirit.
What to Expect?
Daily Yoga: Start each day with yoga sessions tailored your needs, designed to enhance the body’s natural healing, reducing inflammation, balancing hormones… As a yoga therapist, Véronique will not only help you feel better but also explore ways to support your body’s innate intelligence.
Walks in Nature: Did you know that walking in Nature has incredible healing properties? At the physical level, it improves cardiovascular health and lung function, enhances immune function, reduces inflammation. There are also many mental benefits. Walking in Nature lowers cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress. It also enhances the production of serotonin and endorphins, leaving you happier! Walking mindfully, immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of nature also fosters a sense of mindfulness and being present in the moment.
Breathwork: Have you ever tried Breathwork? It really is amazing to regulate the nervous system, helping to release stress, trauma, and emotional blockages while fostering deep relaxation and inner peace. By consciously altering the rhythm and depth of the breath, it can enhance self-awareness, promote healing, and create a profound connection to the present moment and one’s inner self. Veronique will guide daily breathwork sessions, including two Conscious Connected Breath sessions. This practice will allow you to release emotional tension and unlock a sense of freedom within.

Nourishing Plant-Based Meals: Indulge in delicious, nutrient-dense plant-based meals that will support your wellbeing from the inside out. We use fresh, local, and mostly organic ingredients to prepare balanced meals that are as nourishing as they are flavourful.
Time for Rest & Reflection: In addition to our scheduled activities, you’ll have time for self-reflection, relaxation, and connecting with like-minded women. Whether you wish to enjoy a quiet moment by the pool, journal, or soak in the beauty of the Algarve, this retreat is designed to offer space for rest and renewal.
