About this Retreat
Sam is an international yoga teacher with over 10 years of experience guiding people of all ages, abilities, demographics and beyond. Teaching throughout the United States, Thailand, Indonesia, and Europe, she extends a very heart-felt sense of "take what you need" from her sessions. More than that though, she is a human who loves deeper connection, a little sweet treat any time of the day, journaling until her hand hurts and doing things that expand her resiliency (think biking across countries or 13-day long treks in Nepal). Sam is wildly passionate about making the people around her feel seen, heard and safe and hopes that in every shared space with her you leave feeling a little more like yourself.
Lucía is a yoga teacher, artist, graphic designer, and creative soul. She has been practicing yoga for over 7 years and became a certified yoga teacher 4 years ago. A curious traveler and adventurous spirit, Lucía is deeply inspired by the natural world and the stories found along the way. Lucia brings a grounded yet playful energy to everything she creates. Through yoga, art, and soulful design, she creates spaces where others can reconnect with their essence, awaken their inner child, and remember the joy of simply being.
Details of this retreat
You’re here now, and we’re so grateful for that. Go ahead and take a really slow, deep breath. Imagine you’re 6 years old again- no, really, maybe close the eyes to better tap into that for a moment. You’re running freely and safely through the woods, the sunlight dancing in between the canopy of the tress, the earth beneath your bare feet and the smell of fresh air across your face. You have no worries as you pick up little treasures along the way and hum a made up song for the whole world to hear. You move your body any which way it wants to flow, all while making new friends and experiences effortlessly- because you are rooted so deeply in presence. Lucia and Sam invite you to, yes a retreat away from the every day requests of life, but more so the gift of returning to play, authentic connection and exploring this power of presence.
Flow & Flourish is an intentionally crafted yoga retreat built upon the belief that playfulness, curiosity and passion can freely coexist with the every day demands of modern living. We believe that by harnessing our own individual creativity and feeling more aligned in our truth, we can flourish into the best, most loving, compassionate and abundant versions of ourselves! This retreat is an invitation to all who are craving deeper connection within themselves and their world- a place where you are welcomed, celebrated and may return to the simple joy of *having fun*! Lucia and Sam are honored and ready to lovingly guide you through this rejuvenating, yet practical retreat.
This 5 day, 4 night reset will be filled with sunrises and sunsets amongst the stunning northern Portugal landscape of Montaria. We will flow with the elements of nature, embodying them in what we share, create, do and learn. Multi-style, daily yoga classes with guided (& unique!) meditations, nourishing vegetarian meals, in-depth workshops, waterfall hiking, creativity stations to to make art, dance & sing, are just some of the activities that will consume our precious time together. Be sure to check out the sample itinerary below. Laughter, love, & self-acceptance will be at the heart of everything we do- the only ask of you is to choose *you* and the return to your essence. We cannot wait to support and hold you in this space!
