Awakening
Yoga Retreat — Cocoon Portugal, Alentejo
One week to cut
with the rhythm of daily life.
A sublime coastal farmhouse surrounded by nature, 10 minutes from one of the most wild and authentic beaches in the Alentejo. A special week in October, to just go with the flow—without having to worry about anything.
Movement on demand, in various forms—active, passive, gentle, intense, restorative. Delicious meals, prepared with care based on a healthy nutritional approach. Comfortable beds, tranquility, and authenticity. Cocoon Portugal offers several acres of nature, a freshwater lake, hammocks, old pine trees, peacocks, and goats—and the certainty of losing track of time.
Awakening Yoga is a modern approach to an ancient yoga. Through pranayama, breathwork, asanas, meditation, and curiosity, each person embarks on a journey to discover their own possibilities and inner universe.
