“Happiness is not a fixed state but can be developed as we embrace our authenticity and learn flow in our lives. Happiness is certainly not a destination, and we need to change that idea for good to ensure the prosperity of humankind.” - Leonor, myalfazema founder
Testimonials
The retreat certainly did not disappoint, in fact, it surpassed all my expectations and more: it's given me a new found confidence in my practice and has really motivated me to learn more, explore and push my boundaries.
I cannot put into words how life changing this experience has proved to be for me (and, as my fellow yogis have learned, I am not one to be rendered speechless!). So, I will say this: thank you for creating and holding such an incredible, inspirational and safe space for me to find myself again; my cup fills every time I think back to my time (with you all there) and I continue to release and let in lots of emotions I didn't even know were there.
Everytime I go to the mat (which has been everyday since my return) I can feel the energy of the Yoga Shala filling me with positive light, which makes me excited about life and my practice - you've really awakened a passion in me, for which I am eternally grateful.
Was able to trully disconnect, leaving my phone away for the entire retreat. I left with a feeling of being deeply well rested and happy! Definitely recommend myalfazema if you are looking for a retreat in Portugal. The staff is super caring and professional, the people attending were very nice and there was a strong sense of community. The venue was breathtaking (especially the Shala!), the food was amazing and the yoga practices demanding but doable even for me!
Thank you to everyone who participated too - my old friend Serendipity had a plan for me, and as such, I have met some fantastic people - big love and bountiful blessings. 💖💞🧘🏾♀️
I am deeply grateful for all the new tools, insights, mantras, and new friends this journey has given me.
I genuinely wish that everyone could have this experience.

A UNIQUE RETREATING EXPERIENCE
What makes us special?
At myalfazema, every wellbeing retreat is a transformative, memorable experience, hosted by trusted experts who guide you throughout the journey. We've refined our retreats over the years to ensure the highest quality and tailor them to meet your needs. Not only to deliver top-notch quality in accommodation, and cuisine, but also curated content guided by our expert partners that brings true practical value that you can bring home and implement long after the retreat ends.
We absolutely love holding space. Each details is curated with love. We take great care to ensure everyone feels at home and appreciated, creating an intimate environment through a united group, while catering for participants’ individual needs. And, of course, always with a strong sense of fun.
Moreover, there is a purpose behind everything we do. We believe you can be happier and contribute your best to society when you live calmly, confidently embracing who you are. With every myalfazema retreat, we want to provide you with some of the tools to help you achieve this. And that is why we do what we do.
I confess that the first day was tough, tough in the silence, tough returning to yoga after 5 months of a life without time, tough living with myself, with time for thoughts we don't deal with due to lack of time with ourselves.
Without wanting to write a bible about this 3-day journey into my interior, I want to say that if you're considering whether or not to go, go and do it for yourself.
I was fortunate to do it with the best, organized by the dear Leonor and her dear mother, and with the best yoga teacher who crossed my path, Claudia Sousa Santos....
Thank you for planting the first flower in my garden. Now every day I am sowing, and one day, I will have a beautiful garden. That's the path. ♥️🌸🪷🌼

Why a myalfazema retreat in Portugal
A wellbeing retreat is the opportunity to take a break from the demands of daily life to focus on self-care, self-discovery, fun and personal growth.
Switch from bad to good habits
We want to change our habits, but it can be difficult to make significant changes overnight. A retreat allows you to step back and reemerge to a routine of healthy habits,
Improve Personal Skills
Regularly retreating deepens self-awareness, increases resilience, tolerance and improves relationships.
Deepen your practice
An opportunity to deepen your practice, with dedicated time and guidance from experienced and wise teachers.
Meet Like-minded people
Our Partners are authentic, simple, inspiring and wise. They are trusted experts, but they are also people like us who are on their own conscious journey of self-awareness and discovery.
Boost your mental health And Fullfilment
During a retreat, you will do scientifically supported practices that may reduce anxiety and depression, promote inner peace, and improve overall mental health.
Reduce stress
This is an opportunity to escape from the demands of your daily life, unplug from the outside world, lay back and be looked after.
Explore new places
Our retreats are held in different beautiful and inspiring locations so you can explore new places, energies and cultures.
Make an impact on society
When you take good care of yourself, you will be more available and willing to take care of others and have an impact in society. Also, 10€ of your fee are donated to an institution that promotes wellbeing.
The myalfazema experience
A retreat is not - and will never be - a magic potion for happiness. It can, however, be an eye-opening experience and one big step in your journey of growth towards a conscious life.
A part of the Journey
Each retreat is designed to be a deep, touching experience that is in itself a journey – a journey within a larger journey of wellbeing.
01
We are curious when we first get to a myalfazema retreat, with an open mind to live this new experience. Each one of us has a different purpose or motivation – something we would like to focus on, develop or simply reflect upon.
02
Once disconnected from the outside world, we are focused on the experience we are living – enjoying every moment, every learning and small conversation, the delicious meals, the different workshops and the surrounding nature.
03
We leave with a new energy, ready to continue our personal journey at home, ready to fit it into our busy routines. We now have some more tools to keep embracing ourselves in every step of the way.
What we learn in a wellbeing retreat, stays with us for life.
“The longest journey begins with a single step.”
