Yoga & Breathwork retreat for Women
A journey from head to heart – Join us for 5 days of yoga and transformative breathwork in the gentle breeze of Portugal’s southern coastline
From Head to Heart
Do you often think about the next thing to do, have difficulty being present, trouble sleeping because the mind keeps planning? Never rest because of a feeling of guilt to simply be? Believe you should always be useful to be worthy? Does the body feel tight, tense and heavy? Nothing that gives you the joy you used to feel, numb for the beauty of life?
We are Tika & Annie, and we warmly invite you into a different kind of space.
In the peaceful beauty of the Algarve, we’ve created a retreat that offers room to slow down, soften, and gently reconnect with yourself. A place where you can step out of the constant movement of the mind and return to the deeper wisdom of your heart.
We created a space for you to come home and release the tension. Through breath, movement, stillness and connection, you will learn how to let go, be more present, and enjoy the simple, beautiful moments of your life.
Women were never meant to hold it all together all alone. We were meant to receive, trust and flow with the rhythm of the ocean, the wind, the seasons, the breath.
Your facilitators
We are Tika & Annie!
Annie
Certified Breathwork Facilitator
Originally from Sweden, Annie is a GPBA-certified Conscious Connected Breathwork facilitator and breath science practitioner, dedicated to the physiological and emotional power of the breath.
Tika
Hatha & Yin Yoga Teacher
Originally from the Netherlands, Tika is a yoga teacher, retreat leader, and community spaceholder. She brings a deep understanding of movement as a doorway to stillness within.
A day at the retreat
The day begins gently, with the soft morning light and the quiet rhythm of the ocean nearby.
We start with a balanced Yang Yoga practice guided by Tika, allowing the body to release tension and the mind to relax. It is a gentle moment to land, fully and deeply, in yourself, your body. We finish each practice with a short guided meditation to set an intention for the day ahead.
Afterwards we gather for a nourishing breakfast on the terrace, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, remembering the beauty of the nature and the comfort it provides.
The middle of the day is yours.
A walk along the cliffs, resting in a hammock.
A quiet moment by the pool. or in the sauna.
No rush. No expectations. Just space to be.
Together, we will enjoy a delicious lunch with a beautiful view in a shaded space, inviting you to feel more connection, joy and relaxation.
In the afternoon, Annie guides a Conscious Connected Breathwork journey. Through the breath, you are invited to gently move through emotional layers, release what has been held, and reconnect with the deeper intelligence within you.
Many describe this experience as both powerful and deeply grounding.
As the evening settles in, we share a beautiful dinner together under the open sky, celebrating presence, connection, and the simple beauty of being alive.
Before bedtime, Tika guides a gentle Yin Yoga practice to help you fully unwind. On some days, we also offer a mindfulness workshop or a sound healing journey, creating additional space for reflection, integration, and deep relaxation
The rhythm
We believe in a steady rhythm, while also honoring the natural flow of the feminine.
For this reason, the schedule remains flexible. We aim to balance gentle structure with spaciousness, allowing each moment to unfold naturally and giving every participant the opportunity to receive what resonates most deeply for them. And, we leave space for special surprises for you to make this experience unforgettable!

Where you will stay
Our boutique villa is nestled near the charming fishing village of Burgau, a peaceful corner of the Algarve where dramatic cliffs meet the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
It is a space designed for calm, beauty, and deep restoration.
Seven elegant en-suite rooms: spacious, light-filled, and serene
Ocean-view rooftop yoga space: practicing between sky and ocean
Wellness facilities: a swimming pool, sauna, and lush gardens
Nature all around: just a short walk to a quiet beach
Everything here invites you to slow down and feel truly held.
Spending time near the ocean, surrounded by trees and open landscapes, naturally allows the senses to soften and recalibrate. The rhythm of the waves, the gentle movement of the wind through the trees, and the vastness of the horizon invite the mind into a more spacious and present state.
As the days unfold, the body gradually releases accumulated tension, sleep becomes deeper and more restorative, and many people experience a renewed sense of clarity, calm, and connection through time spent in nature.
You can choose to book your own private room with ensuite bathroom, or to share it with another woman.
