Happiness Safari

The May 2026 Happiness Safari Retreat with Nadine was so much more than a yoga retreat — it was an inner journey wrapped in breathtaking landscapes, beautiful human connections, and just the right amount of sweating 😄

The program is incredibly well designed: energizing hot yoga sessions that nourish both body and mind, followed by delicious brunches that somehow taste even better after surviving 90 minutes in a heated room.

The afternoons offer a wonderful variety of experiences and activities. I especially loved discovering the sound bath — deeply relaxing and completely magical. And to my own surprise, I actually enjoyed the ice bath! Same for the sunrise walk… which is saying a lot because I usually don’t believe anything good happens before 7 a.m. 😅

Nadine is the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. She makes everyone feel comfortable and supported, whatever their level of practice, and creates a truly welcoming atmosphere throughout the retreat.

And the place itself? Simply stunning. Exceptional views, incredible attention to detail, and genuine care for every participant.

I came back relaxed, inspired, stronger… and slightly addicted to hot yoga.

I cannot recommend this retreat enough! 🔥

Beautiful venue. Nice participants.

Das Komplettpaket. Sieben Tage mit wunderbaren Yogis in der Bubble zu verbringen um gemeinsam Yoga zu praktizieren. Die Ergebnisse waren einfach unglaublich.

I booked Nadine’s retreat because I was drawn to the wonderful combination of yoga and other activities – and it turned out to be an amazing experience!

The location, Moodz Spa & Resort in Portugal, was absolutely magical with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The food was delicious and everything felt so well thought out.

It was actually my first time trying Bikram yoga, and the retreat was the perfect opportunity. Nadine guided us with warmth and confidence, and her assistant Jasmin was also incredibly skilled, supportive, and present throughout the week.

Even before the retreat, Nadine was super helpful and welcoming. Although I’m a bit shy by nature, she and the group created such a safe and open environment that it was easy to relax and just be myself.

Beyond rest and relaxation, the retreat also offered space for personal growth – to reflect, recharge, and reconnect with myself.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone who wants to boost their energy, find inner calm, try something new, and feel truly good – both in body and soul! 💛

Es war eine unglaubliche Erfahrung. Vor der Reise dachte ich, es würde hauptsächlich um Yoga und Entspannung gehen – doch es war so viel mehr.

Nadine hat mit ihrer einfühlsamen Art einen sicheren Raum geschaffen, in dem wir uns als Gruppe schnell öffnen konnten. Dadurch entstand eine tiefere Verbindung, die dieses Retreat zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht hat. Durch sie und ihr Angebot durfte ich eine neue, spirituelle Seite an mir entdecken.

Dieses Retreat war einfach magisch. Ich habe so viel über mich gelernt, meinen Körper durch das Bikram Yoga auf einer völlig neuen Ebene gespürt und wertvolle Freundschaften geschlossen.

Von Herzen kann ich Nadine und ihre Retreats weiterempfehlen – und ich weiß sicher, dass es nicht mein letztes Retreat mit ihr war!

Es war ein unglaubliches tolles Bikram Yoga Retreat. Nadine hat mir Bikram Yoga noch näher gebracht und ich durfte unglaublich viel darüber lernen und erfahren. Sie und ihre Assistentin Cecil waren immer für Fragen und Wünsche offen. Die tgl. Yoga Klassen waren einfach toll in Kombination mit den gemeinsamen Aktivitäten und der freien Zeit am Pool mit den liebevollen Menschen die ich dort kennenlernen durfte. Das Resort ist einzigartig und in einer wunderschönen Landschaft eingebettet. Einfach unglaublich schön. Das Essen ist sehr lecker und wird liebevoll zubereitet. Auch die anderen Angebote wie Breathwork, Cacao Ceremony und der Sunrise Hike waren einfach genial und sehr berührend. Vielen Dank für diese großartige Erfahrung. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen der eine Auszeit vom Alltag braucht um sich selber wieder näher zu kommen. Ich bin unendlich Dankbar und hoffe auf eine Wiederholung.🩷🩷 Thank you Nadine....you have a special place in my heart

It’s the most beautiful retreat experience. It’s so well organized, the classes are incredible, the resort is breathtaking and very clean! There are a lot of activities that contribute to the experience, such as sunset hikes, breathwork sessions, a cacao ceremony and a bon fire. Would definitely recommend! Thanks so much for everything!

I joined Nadine's yoga retreat in May and had a truly wonderful experience. So much attention to detail was given to the programme to enable just the right balance of yoga, healthy experience sessions and quiet, relaxation time.

Moodz resort, Algarve is in a beautiful setting with excellent spa, massage and relaxation facilities.

The food was absolutely delicious, creative, fresh, healthy and plentiful.

I unreservedly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for an opportunity to explore their yoga, health and well-being journey in a safe and positive space.

Nadine is an amazing person who generously shares her extensive knowledge and experience of Bikram Yoga and complementary health based practices with all.

Thank you Nadine and the team at Moodz for a perfect week!

Alles war sehr gut organisiert und das Programm hat alle meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Sehr schöne Location. Nadine hat sich sehr Mühe gegeben uns eine unvergessliche Woche zu ermöglichen. Wir haben uns alle sehr wohl und sicher gefühlt.

It was much more than expected! Nadine is over-delivering in so many ways! The planning of the week was so carefully designed with intention. The workshops were of the greatest quality, the massage therapists, the intentional meditations were all so great.. Nadine is also an amazing Bikram Yoga Teacher, I loved her teaching! Her passion for Bikram yoga made me appreciate it even more. Amazing week, very complete and fulfilling!

Nadine has a special ability to convene the most lovely people around her, including vinyasa yoga/face yoga teacher, healing workshops, vegetarian chef, surfing coach, etc. The experience is holistic. I felt fully recharged and energized after the retreat. The warmth and unconditional love among all the retreat members are beyond my imagination and are most memorable to me.

The resort is amazing with great facilities and Selina the owner is fabulous and really took good care of us. The retreat itself was brilliant, I am not a natural yogi but booked the retreat for some r&r after severe illnesses - I was sceptical about how much of the yoga I would join. But after day 1, I was hooked. Nadine is so passionate and dedicated to teaching yoga and helping others to heal. So much I could write but quite simply I would highly recommend that if you are looking for a retreat you should try this one.

From start to finish this was an exceptional and mind blowing experience. I don’t practice yoga or meditation and am not a vegetarian so was going into this program with some reservations. My 80 yr old Mum joined me as we thought this might be a nice bonding experience.

Nadine arranged that we join some zoom and in person Bikram lessons pre the retreat so we weren’t completely clueless. It was a great idea. She is an incredible instructor, so patient and explains everything. I grew to love the practice in a short space of time. The location in the mountains of Silves was so beautiful. Moodz was built with love by Selena and Mitch and it shows. I’m not sure where to start with the food…. After the 1st meal I was blown away. What I thought were delicious scrambled eggs was actually tofu. Everything from peanut butter squares, brownies, crumble to delicious Indian Dahl was on offer. Incredible chefs. During the retreat we had various workshops such as cacao ceremonies, yoga postures and sound healing and meditations. All were wonderful. The sunrise hike was …WOW. Nadine had 3 wonderful ladies who assisted her. There was always someone to ask questions of. The inner reflection, amazing participants (now lifelong friends) , hosts, chefs, facilitators made this an unbelievable experience for Mum and I. Thank you Nadine, Galina, Jacks, Sophia, Selina, and to all who made this possible 💗💗
