Testimonials
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.
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.
SPRING WELLBEING RETREAT

15 - 19 May
Quinta dos Raposeiros, Ericeira, Portugal
A UNIQUE RETREAT EXPERIENCE
Why our retreats in Portugal are so transformative
Something magical happens when you step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, take time to rest, and turn your attention inward. The impact of our wellbeing retreats in Portugal goes far beyond what you could ever imagine, and our yoga retreats in Europe offer an opportunity to recharge in a serene, stunning location.
We are all on our own journeys, and the path can often feel chaotic - especially without someone to guide you. Yet, step by step, it becomes clear how fun, beautiful, and deeply rewarding it can be. The journey isn’t just about the destination - it’s about embracing the light and the shadow, and finding joy in every step of the way.
This is why we created and believe so strongly in the power of our wellbeing yoga retreats. They offer you the chance to pause, remember the magic within, feel inner peace, let go, and take bold steps forward - even when it feels hard. Most of all, they bring incredible people together, reminding us of the beauty of human nature and how amazing it is to feel connected and find our crew.
"Our transformative wellbeing yoga retreats in Portugal are more than just an escape or a different kind of holiday. They are a celebration of your journey, a reminder of your strength, and an invitation to reconnect with what truly matters. When you return home, you’ll see how everything around you remains the same, but within you, something will have changed."
- Leonor, myalfazema founder
From near and far – we’ve welcomed people from all over the world
The myalfazema experience
What works for one person may not work for another. Well-being is a deeply personal journey, and each of us experiences it differently. Naturally, everyone will embark on their own myalfazema journey in a way that feels truly authentic to them.
Your Retreat Journey
Each wellbeing yoga retreat in Europe is designed to be a deeply transformative experience – a journey within the greater journey of life. Below, you’ll find what retreaters experience as the natural flow of the retreat, seamlessly guiding them through each step of their personal growth and transformation.
01
Arriving with an open mind and purpose.
The energy of the first day is unlike anything else. From the moment you step off the plane, you feel it - a buzz of excitement, curiosity, and trust. The anticipation of the transformative journey ahead is bubbling.
At a myalfazema wellbeing retreat in Portugal, each person arrives with their own personal purpose – whether it's focusing on personal growth, healing, developing new practices, deepening yoga skills, or simply reflecting on life. Each guest is welcomed into this safe space for mindfulness, self-discovery, connection, and inner peace.
02
Disconnecting and immersing in the present moment
Once we disconnect from the outside world, we become fully immersed in the experience. Every moment, conversation, and activity is savored. Retreaters rest and enjoy delicious healthy meals, join transformative wellbeing workshops, experience beautiful and powerful yoga classes, and explore the surrounding nature and beach – all designed to expand and nourish the mind, body, and soul. At this point, the retreat truly begins to transform us.
03
Leaving with new energy and tools for growth.
After the closing ceremony, we leave with renewed energy, equipped with new tools to continue our personal journey at home. We are ready to integrate what we’ve learned into our busy routines, embracing a more mindful, balanced, and authentic lifestyle. What we learn at a wellbeing retreat stays with us for life, allowing us to carry that sense of connection and growth wherever we go.
When you return home, everything around you may remain the same, but within you, something will have changed.
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. ♥️🌸🪷🌼
