Instructors
Theresa Banovic
Theresa completed her yoga teacher training in 2001 with the British Wheel of Yoga. She then went onto complete her training on the Birthlight Foundation Course, Ayurvedic yoga massage - level 1 and 2 and a one-week intensive Ayurvedic massage course in Goa.

Jesse Banovic
1 Certificate
Show
Jesse recently completed her yoga teacher training with True North Vinyasa Yoga school. Jesse also trained with James Winstanley at the Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Institute in 2016. Jesse decided to take a more holistic approach to life after suffering from adrenal fatigue at 25, realising that the fast paced lifestyle in the city was an unhealthy one she wants to bring a better understanding of self-care to all around her. The combination of beautiful music and ‘setting the scene’ in all of Jesse’s classes are what make them extra special. Strength, harmony & fun in one!
Retreat location
The retreat venue is the friendly Fazendinha in the Eastern Algarve. It is a 40-minute drive from Faro airport and situated 8 kilometres from the beautiful historic town of Tavira and the island which boasts one of the most beautiful beaches in the Ria Formosa national park.
