Back to the Roots: Yoga, Sound & Ayurveda Retreat in Portugal
This is your calling. 🌿
Embark on a transformative 5-day journey of Yoga, Sound Healing, and Ayurveda in the breathtaking coastal town of Ericeira, Portugal.
Hosted by Anne Gocht and Laura Gomez, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to reset your nervous system, reconnect with your inner peace, and equip yourself with healing tools you can carry into daily life.
Set just two minutes from the beach, the serene Saone Guest House provides the perfect environment to immerse yourself in the ancient wisdom of Yoga, Sound Healing, and Ayurveda. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, this retreat is designed to nurture your mind, body, and spirit.
Retreat Theme: Back to the Roots
Reconnect with your essence. Rediscover the simplicity and strength of your roots—your connection to nature and your inner self. After relocating from Berlin to Ericeira, Anne felt inspired to share the healing beauty of this coastal haven and the wisdom of these ancient practices.
The Healing Power of Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, food is medicine. What you eat profoundly impacts your health.
At this retreat, we emphasize a balanced yogic diet, designed to nourish your body and mind. You'll explore the benefits of an Ayurvedic lifestyle—from improved digestion and increased energy to enhanced mental clarity and overall vitality.
During our Ayurveda workshop, you'll dive deeper into Ayurvedic principles and learn the art of creating healing, plant-based meals that support your wellness journey.
Traditional Yoga Practices
Each day, you'll enjoy two Yoga sessions:
Morning Vinyasa Flow: Energize your body and awaken your Prana (life force) through dynamic, flowing sequences combined with meditation and Pranayama (breathwork).
Evening Yin Yoga: Transition into relaxation with this meditative practice. Long-held postures promote deep release, improved flexibility, and balance. Each session incorporates Sound Healing, amplifying its transformative power.
Sound Healing
Using Tibetan singing bowls and other sacred instruments, our Sound Healing sessions are designed to relax your nervous system, clear energetic blockages, and promote profound healing. As sound waves bring you into a meditative state, they activate theta brainwaves, fostering deep relaxation and renewal.
Breathwork (Pranayama)
Pranayama is woven into each morning practice, enhancing oxygen flow, energy levels, and mental clarity while reducing stress and increasing focus.
Meditation (Dhyana)
Meditation, one of Yoga's eight limbs, is an optional but valuable part of our morning practice. Ground yourself, quiet your mind, and deepen your connection to your inner self.
Transformative Coaching
As a bonus, NLP Coach Theresa will lead an empowering workshop to help you challenge limiting beliefs and manifest your dream life. Using transformative techniques, you'll gain clarity, confidence, and actionable steps to create the life you desire. This workshop is optional and included in the retreat package.
