Reclaim your rhythms…




“What if you could step out of the noise of daily life — and into a rhythm that actually sustains you?”

Step into a week designed to reset your body, mind, and spirit through a balance of conscious movement, soulful practices, and deep rest. This retreat isn’t just a getaway — it’s an invitation to reclaim your energy, restore your rhythm, and reconnect with yourself, others, and the natural world.

This Retreat is for You

You’re feeling out of sync. Drained by stress, tech, and the constant pace of modern life. You long for daily rituals that anchor you in clarity and calm. This retreat meets you where you are — not broken, just ready to realign. You’ll leave Portugal with practical, life-changing takeaways: rhythms and rituals that sustain your energy, clarity, and joy long after you return home.
















Embody new rituals…



What You’ll Experience

Yoga & Movement: Invigorating flows with Tiffany that strengthen and energize, balanced with restorative, soulful practices led by Carolyn. Perfect for all levels.
Meditation & Breathwork: Guided practices that release tension, reset the nervous system, and expand awareness.
Energy Healing (Optional): Personalized sessions with Tiffany or Carolyn for deeper alignment and integration.
Science + Soul Practices: Learn circadian rhythm teachings, embodiment exercises, and lifestyle rituals that ground your day in natural rhythms.
Play & Adventure: Joyful, playful moments woven throughout — fun excursion options, exploring local villages, nature walks, swimming, bonfire evenings and stargazing at breathtaking skies.
Connection: Sacred circles and shared experiences foster deep connection with yourself, your community, and the rhythms of the universe.













Your Transformation…



Move from scattered and depleted → into vitality, rhythm, and clarity.
Establish daily rituals rooted in yoga, breath, nature, and mindful living.
Feel nourished, aligned, and alive with joy and possibility.
Optional energy healing sessions offer subtle yet profound integration for those seeking deeper transformation.

MT Princeton Yoga Retreat
I had the most incredible experience at Bella Retreats at Mt. Princeton! Keri and Amy were phenomenal leaders who created such a welcoming and supportive environment. As a beginner, I found their yoga instruction easy to follow, yet deeply enriching. The sessions left me feeling refreshed and more connected with myself. The food was absolutely amazing—healthy, flavorful, and nourishing. The group of women and men who attended were kind, uplifting, and truly added to the transformative experience. This retreat exceeded all my expectations. I can’t wait to return!

Thank you
I can't speak highly enough of Adam and Una as a team. They are experts in their fields and lead by inspiring guests to relax, have fun and learn Astrology. I'm grateful getting to know so many like-mind like-spirit folk who truly enjoy sharing and being there for one another. I look forward to the next Astrology retreat in Hawaii January 2019. Thanks Bella Retreats!

Feed-back on the Tulum Retreat
The retreat in Tulum was truly amazing. I expected to just do yoga but instead I had a very powerful soul opening experience. The issue with the bugs in the bed helped me realize that in life we sometimes have things that suck our life and love light, it is okay to be uncomfortable and to also change the environment you are in. I know how much comfort and safety are truly important to me. I also was able to asses a lot of internal issues I have from past childhood traumas. I came out with an understanding that we fears that we can address. We all need healing and we all need love. Realizing how broken I am but also knowing that my experiences have made me a more empathetic and compassionate person that I can see the pain and struggle in others without being judgemental and by accepting these things in myself allow me to accept the beautiful flaws in others as well. Through the tears and the laughter I was able to find myself again the beautiful person whom I buried to avoid getting hurt. The most important is self love that I feel I have neglected myself throughout much of my life. The healing sound session was amazing and I felt that the healers were able to open my soul and heart to be able to see what it truly is that is holding me back to be the best person I can possibly be. I am truly grateful and thankful to be able to share my experience even though some of it was quite painful. I feel I came home a better and more open person to be able to continue my path in healing and walk in light and love. I am eternally grateful.
The classes with Shigecko were amazing, heart opening and healing. The activities and writing has gotten my to start writing again as well. I love all of the people I was able to experience this with. Love and light. Morgan

Life Changing!
The Seat of the Soul Yoga retreat in Chacala, MX was outstanding! Mar de Jade is a wonderful location and quite frankly, magical! The connection I felt to the world around me was breathtaking. I can honestly say I was able to live in the moment for most of my entire experience while there! What a perfect group of people to share the experience! The food was fresh, healthy, farm to table perfection! The daily yoga practice, journaling, group activities were done in such an open and trustful way.. everyone was honored and felt welcome! I can't wait for next time!
