stay true retreat

It’s been a while, but finally I’m happy to welcome you to a retreat with me. Join me in Ericeira Portugal, Nov 8–14 2026.

Ericeira is a seaside surf town, just 40 minutes from Lisbon airport. We’ll stay at the wonderful, quirky Casa Paço d’Ilhas in the hills outside of town. Retreat highlights:

  • Daily juicy vinyasa morning class with a theme, a peak and purpose – a chance to evolve in your practice

  • Two mellow evening practices

  • Beautiful countryside venue with pools and a garden

  • Fantastic food

  • Walking distance to the beach and lots of options for hikes and runs in the hills

  • Option to spend the days relaxing, surfing, exploring

  • Option to join skills courses (Sequencing and Breathwork), designed for yoga teachers but amazing learning opportunities for anyone who loves yoga

who this is for

This retreat is for anyone who loves the practice of vinyasa flow. You don’t need to be an acrobat but simply curious about exploring your practice in terms of transitions, moving with breath, challenging poses, sitting in meditation and working with pranayama (breath).

Some participants will be yoga teachers on a path of deepening their skills, and some will be on a relaxing retreat. Do what works for you.

who is hosting

Myself and Willemijn Noordhoff are teaching in this retreat. Willemijn is a good friend of mine from Netherlands, who is a yoga teacher, a psychiatrist and a yoga anatomy teacher in the True North Vinyasa trainings. She has a strong interest in the nervous system and will teach the course “How to teach Breath” and some classes in this retreat.

I will teach morning classes and the course on SequencingVinyasa.
