About this Retreat
Born and raised in Rotterdam, I have been an active visual artist for many years. After the passing of my father, I decided to put my brushes and focus on a passion that has increasingly manifested my life: Yoga. Yoga has made a significant difference in my life, and I want to share this passion with others. I do this through my lessons.

Yoga Holiday at Land of Deveza
Join us for a week of yoga, sunshine, nourishing food, and genuine connection in the peaceful mountains of central Portugal.
This holiday is an invitation to slow down. To unwind. To gently undo the tension of everyday life. Surrounded by nature and open skies, Land of Deveza offers the perfect setting to reconnect with yourself while enjoying the warmth and ease of a small, welcoming group.
Each day includes thoughtfully guided yoga sessions designed to ground, energize, and restore. There is generous free time to relax by the pool, read in the shade, explore the surrounding landscape, or simply do nothing at all.
Throughout the week, we combine movement and rest with shared experiences: a scenic hike to a breathtaking viewpoint, a visit to nearby waterfalls, a spa afternoon, wine tasting in the region, and evenings under the stars — including our outdoor movie night and relaxed pizza evening.
Food plays an important role in the experience. You will enjoy freshly prepared, wholesome meals made with care, inspired by local and seasonal ingredients. Our shared dinners are moments to gather, connect, and savor both the flavors and the company.
Everything is included. Nothing is mandatory.
This is your week — structured enough to feel supported, spacious enough to feel free
