About this Retreat
Nicole Carp is a health-based Hatha Yoga Instructor since 2010 and is currently offering in person and online services for all levels of practice and all stages of life.
Inspired by Yoga based attitudes & values that use good-judgment as a compass, in her Ericeira-based practice, Nicole helps her clients find the adequate yogic tools and holistic practices they need, and weaves them into accessible treatment plans that fit easily into daily life. She also teaches group Hatha yoga and meditation classes, and loves helping her students slow down, listen inward and reconnect with themselves.
Drawing from her personal experiences as both a student and teacher, Nicole believes that truly listening to a student is essential—especially when they struggle to find the words or simply choose not to express themselves verbally.
Through calm, connected movement, Nicole helps guide individuals toward their own Flow State, allowing them to navigate both physical and emotional obstacles with grace and ease.
Nicole is Portuguese! Born and raised in this amazing country 🇵🇹 However she had the opportunity to study in a British International School in Lisbon (GCSEs and IB) and also completed a 4 year graduate degree from Edinburgh University. With a diverse international experience, Nicole easily adapts to multicultural environments and enjoys building meaningful connections with students.

We're excited to introduce Miguel Contreras, the facilitator of The Art of Pranayama Workshop at the Ericeira Spring Retreat!
🩺 Miguel holds a degree in Medicine from the University of Salamanca and a Master’s in Health Promotion from the National School of Public Health in Lisbon. With over 10 years of dedicated yoga practice, he is passionate about promoting Planetary Health—nurturing both human well-being and the health of our planet.
✨ For Miguel, the breath is the ultimate bridge that connects us to our inner selves, our environment, and each other, unlocking wisdom and vitality at every level.
🏡 Living on a small homestead in Santa Cruz with his partner and children, Miguel breathes in the ocean breeze daily, teaching yoga, meditation, and breathing techniques. He also leads nature tours and works on community projects focused on environmental education, local culture, and ocean literacy, collaborating with schools and local organizations.
