The retreat will take place at Moodz Spa & Resort, an exquisite and high-end resort in the Algarve, Portugal. The property consists of 3 luxurious lodges, a villa and several lounge areas where you’ll be able to enjoy the beautiful landscape all around.
The breathtaking nature of the Algarve surrounds the place and offers a variety of spa facilities for you to enjoy, including a massage room, meditation lounge, jacuzzi, hammam, salt water swimming pool, multiple saunas and a cold plunge. The 90-minute Bikram Yoga classes are held in the new Yoga Shala, which was constructed to be turned into a hot room.
After hosting many retreats in this place, it has become my second home. While the location is stunning, what truly makes this place special is the loving atmosphere created by its owners, Selina and Mitch. Every time, they go above and beyond to make these retreats special, ensuring everyone feels at home away from home.
Having visited over 30 retreat centers in Portugal, I can confidently say this is the most beautiful one - and I would love for you to experience its magic. It truly is the perfect place to reset and recharge.
Practically you can choose between a private room or a shared room with one other participant. Both the villa and lodges offer private and shared accommodation options. If you book a shared room without a designated roommate, you will be paired with another retreat participant of the same gender.
Program
Bikram is a very specific type of yoga that takes place in a hot room (approximately 40°C). It focuses on a specific sequence of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises that promote healing on various levels. Each class lasts 90 minutes.
Throughout this retreat, you’ll get a chance to explore and deepen your practice, transforming both body and mind. In the posture clinic, you’ll receive personal adjustments and guidance to support you along the way.
After practising and exploring, you’ll be able to enjoy the many spa facilities at the resort. Each day you can enjoy two delicious, home-cooked, plant-based meals prepared by a personal chef to help you feel your best.
Each day will begin with a peaceful group morning meditation session where you will learn a variety of different techniques to help you find stillness and connect with your true self. Every day, you will work around another theme.
The retreat is led by Nadine and seasoned Bikram yoga instructors with over 17 years of experience who will guide you through the Bikram sequence in a daily covered outdoor yoga class, where you will gain a deeper understanding of your body and mind.
Relax, rejuvenate and indulge your senses with an array of activities and offerings throughout the day. Brunch will be served after the class, followed by time to unwind with a treatment or lounge by the pool or spa areas. In the afternoon, they have a surprise in store for you with a different workshop every day, such as laughter yoga, sound healing, cacao ceremony, embodiment workshops, connection workshop, and many more. Evening meals will be delicious and healthy, mainly plant based options, and the perfect end to the day.
During the week, Nadine will hold posture clinics where you will get personal adjustments and guidance on how to acquire greater depth with your practice and get all your questions answered. As a professional life coach, Nadine will also offer optional individual coaching sessions to help you transform your challenges, move towards your dreams, and learn more about yourself. These sessions will support your personal growth, learning, and life journey.
