🌿 Why Choose a 2026 Yoga Retreat

A retreat offers more than a weekly class — it’s a container of time and space to step away from everyday stress, surrender to deep rest, and re-tune body, mind and spirit. The retreats at Yoga Evolution unfold in the heart of a forested valley in central Portugal — among ancient olive groves, forest tracks, salt-water pool, hammocks under trees, and natural slate rock pools.

All retreats include food, accommodation and all classes. They welcome practitioners of all levels — whether you’re a beginner, seasoned yogi, or somewhere in between.

Here’s a look at what 2026 has in store — and what makes each retreat unique.

🗓️ 2026 Retreat Dates & Styles

8–14 February 2026 – Mid-Winter Yoga Retreat

A gentle, restorative week timed for the return of light and new life after winter. The retreat is designed to help participants shed the winter heaviness, reset energy and welcome renewal. Morning sessions blend Qigong and Vinyasa Flow to awaken warmth, vitality, strength and fascia release. This retreat supports grounding, softening, and rejuvenation through movement, breath, and inner calm.

29 March – 4 April 2026 (and also 5–11 April) – Awakening Your Inner Self / Spring Yoga Retreat

As spring blooms, this retreat leverages the season’s energy to inspire personal transformation and reflection. Participants enjoy a varied program: Vinyasa, Qigong, Yin & Somatic Yoga, meditation, sound healing with gong baths or shamanic drums, and nature walks among blooming flora. Journaling exercises, intention-setting, and a ceremonial release or renewal around fire offer inner cleansing and renewed focus. Perfect for reawakening body, mind and spirit — and aligning with the fresh potentials of spring.

26 April – 2 May 2026 – Ashtanga Vinyasa & Yin Yoga Retreat

This retreat merges dynamic strength-building with deep, restorative stillness. The mornings are devoted to Ashtanga Vinyasa (primary series) — a structured, therapeutic sequence combining asana, breath (pranayama), and focused gaze (drishti), encouraging alignment, flexibility and inner heat.

Complementing the dynamic morning work, Yin Yoga in the afternoons or evenings brings balance: long-held, meditative poses that stretch connective tissue, calm the nervous system, and foster introspection and inner peace. This blend makes the retreat well suited for those who want both energetic flow and contemplative depth.

10–16 May 2026 – Qigong, Yin & Somatic Yoga Retreat

This week is oriented around energetic harmony and inner balance. With a foundation of Qigong (vitality & energy flow) and Somatic/Yin Yoga (body awareness, release, subtle body connection), this retreat is especially suited for participants interested in Qi/Prana work, energetic balance, inner healing — and a gentle but transformative yoga journey.

26 July – 1 August 2026 – Vinyasa Yoga Flow & Creative Retreat

If you’re looking to rekindle your creative spark, this summer retreat offers more than yoga: imagine combining movement, sound and voice workshops, wild swimming, journaling or writing, long walks in nature, time to reflect or rest, and nourishing food. The aim is not only physical renewal but to reconnect with your creativity, life purpose, and what makes your life feel “lush.” For those seeking inspiration, clarity and sustainable lifestyle shifts — this retreat may hit the spot.

15–26 September 2026 – 100-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training

For those wanting depth, study, and possibly to teach — this comprehensive 100-hour Yin Yoga teacher training is a fully immersive program in the forest-valley retreat centre. Across nearly two weeks, participants engage with Yin Yoga philosophy, practice, energetic work, body awareness, and teachings from senior trainers. It’s an opportunity to deepen personal practice, explore subtle body work, and for certified teachers or therapists — gain qualification to teach Yin Yoga.

🌞 What the Practices Offer — More Than Just Yoga

The retreats at Yoga Evolution are not limited to a single form of yoga. Instead, they offer a holistic fusion of movement, breath, energy, meditation, nature, sound healing, and personal growth work.

Vinyasa / Ashtanga — dynamic, strength-building, enhances flexibility, stamina, and body alignment. Great for those who enjoy flow, movement, and heat-building practices.
Yin & Somatic Yoga — slow, meditative, deep tissue release, enhances fascial mobility, nervous system balance, introspection, and stillness. Perfect for grounding, recovery, and inner quiet.
Qigong & Energy Work — balancing internal energy (Qi/Prana), promoting organ health, vitality, energetic harmony. Ideal for those drawn to holistic body-mind practices.
Meditation & Inner Practices — from Micro-Cosmic Orbit energy meditations to silent mornings, internal enquiry, breathwork — supporting mental clarity, inner calm, and spiritual awareness.
Sound Healing, Gong Baths, Drum Journeys — using sound and vibration to relax, release, heal energetically and emotionally. A gentle yet powerful complement to physical practice.
Nature, Retreat Environment & Holistic Living — forest walks, nature immersion, wholesome vegetarian/vegan meals, peaceful surroundings — all supporting deep rest, integration, and reconnection with self.

This blend makes the retreats ideal for a wide audience: beginners, seasoned practitioners, people seeking inner healing, creative renewal, energetic balance — or simply a meaningful break from the everyday.
