September 10th-15th
Recharge, reset, and reconnect with yourself in the stunning Beiras region of Portugal just one hour from Porto. This 5-night retreat combines transformative yoga, nourishing food, and plenty of time to rest and explore.. all in the beauty of a lovingly restored 18th century country house surrounded by orange groves, olive trees, and lush gardens.
Each day offers two inspiring sessions in a spacious wooden-floored studio, fully equipped, with stunning views out to the countryside. Except on arrival day- when we'll meet for an evening welcome practice before dinner... and on departure day- there will be a one hour morning session before breakfast.
We'll see how the flow takes us- some sessions will take place in this beautiful studio with gorgeous views... whilst other sessions will take place outside in the tranquil grounds of Quinta Galegas.
Morning practice-8am (2 hours):
A dynamic and expansive class combining asana, deep stretch, breathwork, and meditation. These sessions are crafted to release old insecurities and invite lightness, motivation, and deep connection to soul.
Evening practice-6pm (1 hour)
From pilates to restorative yoga and guided meditation... these sessions will strengthen and soothe your body, calm your mind and prepare you for deep relaxation and rest.
Quinta Galegas is known for its organic vegetable, herb, and flower gardens, where much of our food is grown. During your stay, you’ll enjoy:
Two delicious vegetarian meals daily... nourishing brunch after morning practice and dinner after the evening session.
Teas, coffee & snacks available before morning practice and throughout the day.
A relaxed evening with a variety of delicious nourishing foods including wood-fired pizzas from the pizza oven.
Enjoy an optional glass of wine (or two) from the honesty bar if you so desire.
All dietary requirements and food intolerances will be happily catered for.

“This retreat was the perfect balance of rest and inner work. Rachel intuitively knew what the group needed each day, and I left with tools I still use in my practice now.”
Your Retreat Yoga Teacher
Thank you for reading this far and for showing interest in the Portugal retreat!
I’m so excited to be hosting again... it’s been almost two years since my last retreat as I’ve been busy moving countries, so this one feels extra special.
For those of you who don’t know me yet, here’s a little background:
I’ve been teaching yoga since 2009, following many years of teaching Pilates and fitness, and before that, working as a professional dancer. Over the years I’ve gathered more than 1000 hours of training and nearly 6000 hours of teaching experience.
I spent 10 years living in Ibiza, where I ran almost 20 beautiful retreats... many guests came back year after year, which was such a joy and an honour.
My teaching style flows with the energy of the group, the astrology, and the feel of the moment. I offer an integrated practice...not just asana... so you can expect to explore pranayama, kriya, chanting, and meditation alongside vinyasa-inspired movement. My original yoga training was in vinyasa flow, and I weave that lineage into how I guide asana.
One of the things I love most is creating space for people of all levels to practice together. Whether you’re brand new or very experienced, you’ll be supported to find depth, connection, and growth in your own practice.
If you have any questions please send me an email and I'll get back to you asap
“Rachel has such a gift... she knows exactly how to guide the group while making every single person feel seen. I left Ibiza lighter, happier, and deeply recharged.”
