RE:CONNECT
Yoga & Breathwork
Retreat
16.03. - 22.03.25
Join us on a wonderful journey to the mountains of Portugal in the Algarve. Surrounded by raw nature, high up on mountain Picota in Monchique you can find the magical Bodhi Bhavan. A special place which will be our home, relaxation and energetic oasis for seven days.
Reset * Rebuild * Repower & Relax
During your stay, 6 nights and 7 days, we will be there for you and guide you throughout your individual process. We’re going to provide you with and hold the necessary space to feel, breathe, arise and simply be. There will be Functional Yoga classes, meditations, fantastic food, a spacious house with terraces, stunning views and gardens. On the inside of the property as well on the outside you can find many spots and possibilities to soak it all in and enjoy some solo time. Within 25 minutes by car you can reach the Portuguese coast, the beach and the Atlantic Ocean.
RE:CONNECT
The answer to many things and matters along the journey is “connection”: the connection to our loved ones, nature, our surroundings and daily life. But especially the connection to our soul and self is the one that is lacking attention rather often. We are here to show you how you can heal and strengthen this connection and how you are able to reconnect. Together with us, on your own and with the rest of our group.
What you can expect:
6 nights and 7 days in a modern and quiet Retreat house with a pool, 6 hectares of land in the Portuguese mountains only 25 minutes by car to the beach

Basic Yoga knowledge would be very helpful. Als well as basic fitness, as there will be a lot of movement.

The nearest airports are located in Faro (ca. 60 minutes by car) and Lisbon (ca. 3 hours by car). There will be no shuttle to the Bodhi Bhavan, which is why we recommend you, also for max flexibility during your stay, to rent a car. Beforehand we are going to connect each and every one of the group, of course only if you like, to see if there are possibilities of sharing a car and so on. From Bodhi Bhavan the village of Monchique can be reached within 5 minutes, the stunning beaches within 25 minutes.
There are also bus connections from:
Lagos - 56km - 2.5hr bus journey
Faro - 109km - 3.5hr bus journey Lisbon - 260km - No direct bus (travel first to Portimão then change over) -
Bodhi Bhavan is located at the mountain Picota in Monchique with a stunning view across the village and breath-taking sunrises and sunsets. There are various hiking trails close to the property. The land and gardens of Bodhi Bhavan hold 6 hectares, hence every one of us will be able to find quiet and hidden spots just for ourselves. Monchique is known for its healthy mountain water, which you will have access to during your entire stay of course.

The spacious Shala is well equipped with yoga mats, blocks, bolsters, belts and meditation cushions. So basically, there is already a yoga mat waiting for you. :-)

The month of March can be very beautiful and exceed temperatures of 20 degrees. But the evenings and nights can also be fresh and chill, so please feel free to bring some warmer clothes and a jacket. The house is completely renovated and is equipped with a modern heating system as well as a fire place in the living room and winter garden.
We are looking forward to hear from you! :-)
Yoga & Movement Retreat
YOGA & MOVEMENT RETREAT AUF SYLT UND INTERNATIONAL
Du möchtest ein Retreat mit mir veranstalten? Passend zu deiner Gruppe, deinem Projekt oder Hotel erstelle ich dir ein Retreat-Konzept mit dem Schwerpunkt Functional Yoga & Movement.
Functional Yoga & Movement Days
YOGA & MOVEMENT DAYS
3 Tage mit Bewegung, Wissen, Entspannung & Spaß
Ich widme dieses Camp all denen, die mehr über die Verbindung von Functional Yoga & Movement erfahren und erleben möchten. Mit "Move it like Hali" möchte ich den Teilnehmer*innen meine Philosophie näher bringen und selbst spüren lassen, wie sie mich in meinem Sein & und Tun unterstützt und mein Leben zum Positiven beeinflusst.
Neue Perspektiven
Sollen wir etwas aus einer anderen Perspektive beobachten, versuchen wir es, doch häufig bleibt unser Kopf weiterhin in einer aufrechten Position. Wie fühlt es sich also an, wenn wir diese Haltung bewusst verändern? Interessant wird es, wenn wir uns und unseren Körper von der Bodenperspektive aus betrachten, wie die Dinge um uns herum aussehen, sich verändern und was wir währenddessen spüren. Was macht diese neue Abwechslung mit uns?
Während der Yoga & Movement Days möchten wir genau das herausfinden und spüren, indem wir uns auf verschiedene Arten betrachten und bewegen. Das Yoga und Movement bieten hierfür wichtige Herangehensweisen, die sich positiv auf den Körper und das damit verbundene Mindset auswirken. Wie können wir beide positiv beeinflussen und in eine bessere Balance bringen? Darauf fokussieren wir uns gemeinsam während der unterschiedlichen Yoga & Bewegungseinheiten des Camps. Jeder Programmpunkt ist wohldurchdacht und greift stimmig ineinander, um jede*n von uns individuell zu stärken.
Lust mich mit den Functional Yoga & Movement Days in dein Studio, Hotel oder Unternehmen zu holen? Ich freue mich schon jetzt auf deine Anfrage und unsere gemeinsame Zeit.
