Program
This retreat center is immersed in the natural reserve of Amazon, on the beach of Maiandeua-Algodoal island, in North Brazil. You’ll spend your days connecting to nature and finding a balance between rest and productivity.
Aerial practices will be based on body conditioning and positions you can develop in course of the retreat. You’ll practice twice a day in the morning and evening, each time for 90 minutes. With the help of gravity, you can playfully explore floating, fluid movements and create space in your body without the compression of joints or the spine. The feeling in the body is exquisite. In your free time, you can explore the local area and indigenous culture.

Retreat location
The place is located on one of the best beaches of Algodoal Island - Princesinha Beach. It’s in a peaceful and natural reserve immersed in the wild world of Amazonia. It’s on the beach with the mangroves in the back. The place is one of the most beautiful spots in the Maiandeua Archipelago. There are front sea, ocean view, and nearby restaurants and bars but still away enough to make this place isolated and unique. You can walk or go by horse (carriage) to the national park of Princessa Lake which is 1.1 miles away and walk via the beach to Fortalezinha for 3 miles. You can sail around the island and you can swim in front of the house.
The Atlantic Ocean in this area mixes with the Amazon River. During the winter time, from December to February, the water is fresh. In Summer, from June to September it is salty. It’s the best spot to swim on the island because the water is very peaceful and warm. There are fewer currents and waves than at other sites. It’s a perfect spot to walk, run and do beach sports as well as mind and body practices such as yoga. The ocean views are amazing, especially the unforgettable sunsets.
You can dine in front of the ocean. As soon as you leave the house, your feet are deep in fine white sand. Depending on the tide you can jump into the water right away at high tide or walk across the beach to swim at low tide. The property is new, with a large outdoor and indoor space with natural ventilation to capture any breeze. It’s perfect for a rustic, comfortable, and peaceful retreat.
