At the heart of Sasha’s philosophy is the belief that approaching practice with an open mind and an open heart can create profound shifts — not only in the body, but in perspective and everyday life.

Meet Alina, the founder of Yogalina Studios in Witney and Oxford. Drawn to spirituality from a young age, Alina first discovered yoga in 2012 while working in the demanding world of Banking and Finance. Initially, it was the post-yoga feeling — calm, grounded, and clear — that kept her coming back. Over time, her practice deepened into something far more meaningful.
Inspired by the transformative impact yoga had on her life, Alina went on to complete the British Wheel of Yoga Foundation Course, followed by 500 Hrs Teacher Training, setting her on a path she never initially imagined. A decade later, that journey has grown into Yogalina — a community-led studio offering thoughtful, high-quality yoga and wellbeing experiences across Oxfordshire.
Committed to lifelong learning, Alina has continued her training internationally in India, Bali, Miami, Paris, and Milan, and is now passionate about sharing this knowledge with the next generation of teachers through the Yogalina 200-Hour Teacher Training Programme.
Details of this retreat
This retreat is all about coming back to your wild and authentic self — reconnecting with the parts of you that feel free, raw, and true. It really embodies my energy and values: being unapologetically yourself, holding space for others, and embracing life with no judgement.
Throughout the retreat, we’ll dive deep into yoga practices designed to strengthen expression and authenticity. We’ll balance inner work with joyful adventure — going surfing to connect with our wild side, and spending a magical day on a private catamaran exploring Portugal’s coastline.
Each guest will enjoy one massage from our onboard masseuse, daily catered breakfasts, and two private chef dinners at the villa. On the other three evenings, we’ll head out to Lisbon to experience its incredible culture, food, and nightlife.
