Shine Yoga Retreats

Yoga, wild wellness and women’s connection

Portugal Lisbon paid

A women-focused retreat with a lively blend of yoga, embodiment and outdoor adventure, Shine Yoga Retreats brings its program to a boho-style quinta near Lisbon. Since 2016, the organizers have created gatherings that pair holistic yoga with alchemy breathwork, workshops such as “Wisdom of Emotions,” nervous-system regulation and spiritual practice. The setting makes it easy to step beyond the studio: the villa sits amid nature, within reach of the Sintra National Park, Atlantic beaches and coastal trails, with villages including Azenhas do Mar and Ericeira nearby. At the private property, guests can move between indoor and outdoor yoga spaces, relax by the pool or take in sunset views. The retreats are designed for connection and empowerment, with a touch of adventure rather than an exclusively inward-facing schedule. Dates, program details and the exact balance of practices vary by retreat, so check the specific itinerary before making plans.
