I invite you to experience Madeira consciously\u2014not from place to place, not from highlight to highlight, but with time, presence, and space to arrive.Through yoga, movement in nature, and genuine encounters with the island and the local people.The retreat takes place in Paul do Mar, a small fishing village right on the Atlantic Ocean. Quiet, authentic, and far from the hustle and bustle. A place where you don’t consume, but stay. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This yoga retreat in Madeira is my invitation to escape the daily grind and consciously take time for yourself. Time without pressure, without constantly moving on, and without the feeling that you \u201chave to see\u201d something.We\u2019ll stay in one place.We\u2019ll let the rhythm of the village, the sea, and nature wash over us.From Paul do Mar, there are numerous opportunities for walks and hikes right on our doorstep. At the same time, there\u2019s time to explore the island on your own\u2014without a set plan.This creates space for depth, for authentic moments, and for a sense of arrival that lasts beyond this week. Yoga, nature, and mindfulness will guide you through these days\u2014not as a performance, but as an opportunity to reconnect with yourself.This retreat is designed for people who are open to mindful travel, simplicity, and experiencing a place beyond traditional to-do lists. Yoga may be familiar to you or new. <\/p>

My yoga practice is down-to-earth, lively, and intuitive. It can be challenging without being overwhelming, while remaining light, honest, and present. Movement, breathing, and moments of silence intertwine\u2014supported by mindfulness, humor, and a keen sense of the moment.In the morning, we start actively and clearly right at the harbor of Paul do Mar, with a view of the Atlantic Ocean, the surrounding mountains, and the waterfall that runs through the landscape. Weather permitting, we practice outside in this special setting.In the evening, yoga becomes calmer, more grounding, and more balancing. Depending on the weather, the practice takes place indoors or outdoors\u2014always with a focus on consciously ending the day.Between yoga sessions, there are joint workshops as well as conscious free time. This creates a balanced mix of input, exchange, and space for your own experiences. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

During the retreat, we will stay in two lovingly designed villas, which will be used together as an open retreat space. Yoga, shared meals, conversation, and relaxation will connect both houses in a natural togetherness\u2014regardless of which house you stay in.Both villas are open to all participants and will be used together throughout the retreat\u2014without separation, without judgment. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The villa, located directly on the Atlantic Ocean, is the central meeting place for our retreat.This is where we come together, enjoy our meals, relax by the pool, and end the day listening to the sound of the sea.The ocean is always present here\u2014audible, visible, and very close.The open terrace and immediate proximity to the water give this house a special sense of space and lightness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The second villa is located just a few minutes away and is also in close proximity to the sea. Here, too, you can feel the Atlantic Ocean \u2013 without being directly on the waterfront. The house is quiet and spacious, offering a pleasant retreat with plenty of privacy. The short distances between the two villas ensure a harmonious interplay between the two locations. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Food is an important part of the experience during this yoga retreat in Madeira\u2014and the vegan cuisine is definitely one of the highlights.The cooking is handled by Nicole, a chef who knows the island, its produce, and its cuisine inside and out. The dishes are seasonal and based on what is growing, ripe, and currently available here. Many recipes are rooted in Madeiran cuisine and are complemented by Nicole\u2019s own creations.We plan to have a daily group brunch as well as three group dinners. In addition, there are intentionally scheduled evenings when you\u2019ll have the opportunity to go out to eat in Paul do Mar or the surrounding area and discover Madeira\u2019s cuisine on your own.Food intolerances or allergies, such as a gluten-free diet, will of course be accommodated. <\/p>

Both villas have fully equipped kitchens that are available for use at any time. There\u2019s also a small supermarket in Paul do Mar, so you can stock up on supplies or whip up a quick meal whenever you like.If you\u2019d like to learn more about Nicole and her work, you can find more information here:Learn more about the chef. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What is the weather like in Madeira in October?<\/strong>
October in Madeira is usually mild and pleasant. Temperatures are generally above 15\u00b0C, often significantly higher. It can be sunny and warm, but also changeable. Short rain showers are possible, especially in the mountains or in the evening. That’s why we remain flexible when it comes to the location of our yoga practice.
Does yoga still take place when it rains?<\/strong>
Yes. Weather permitting, we practice outside. In case of wind or rain, the yoga sessions take place indoors. The routine remains the same\u2014only the location adapts to the conditions.
Do I need a car?<\/strong>
Paul do Mar is ideal for arriving, walking, and hiking in the surrounding area. Many trails start directly in or above the village.If you want to explore other parts of Madeira during your free time, renting a car is recommended. Public bus transportation is available, but it is not always reliable or flexible. A car is not a requirement for the retreat, but it does offer you additional freedom.
Are yoga mats provided?<\/strong>
Yes, yoga mats are available on site. If you prefer to practice on your own mat, you are welcome to bring it with you.
Is there free time during the retreat?<\/strong>
Yes. In addition to yoga, workshops, and shared moments, there is plenty of time for retreat, nature, and personal discovery. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
