Join Sadie & Marie on the sacred soil of Portugal for ‘Embodied Roots’, an embodied yoga retreat that will take you on an internal voyage. Together we’ll flow through our inner oceans towards a state of grounded being.

the experience

four sacred days of rest, rejuvenation & reconnection.

Surrounded by rolling mountains and held by the quiet, wildness of nature, just 90 minutes from Lisbon, our Casola is a sanctuary for your late-summer awakening. There is something calling you here, a gentle pull from the roots of the mountains, inviting you to step beyond what you think you know and soften into deeper truth.

This is a place to root deeply within. To let your body lead. To move between flow and stillness, breath and pulse, so you can reconnect to the wisdom that has always lived inside you. To come home, fully.

We’ll be moving through heart centred, embodied practices such as

  • Embodied Vinyasa // Shake the Dust (It’s deep, soulful HIIT)

  • Embodied Rest // Moving Meditation// Sharing Circles

  • Plus additional Somatic workshops to guide you to meet yourself on your deepest level yet.

This retreat is a true, embodied experience. Amongst the carefully curated sessions and sacred spaces you’re free to soften into each and every day.

Laze by our sun-glistened pool, journey to the beaches, and then time to get cosy and gather for a feast for the body and the senses, nourishing from the inside out from produce grown with love on the very land you’ll be calling home. Connect with community and rest in the sweetness of simply being alive and life under the golden Portuguese sun.

This retreat is an invitation into sensuality, slowness, community and the deep remembering of your own aliveness.

Imagine easing into the morning alongside the sun, with a soft, sleepy coffee and a light nourishing breakfast. One of those soft mornings your body craves.

We’ll chat and enjoy each others company, and a morning where you only have to think about YOU before we drop into a embodied movement practice, shaking away the dust and awakening your breath, your pulse, your aliveness.

You’ll always have time to be by yourself, or with others - this is your experience.

We’ll meet for a slow, abundant lunch shared under the sun, the way nature intended.

We’ll drift into the afternoon with a beach trip, poolside lounging, or simply s0me time to rest, read, wander, be.

We’ll refuel and ground in the afternoon, dark chocolate anyone? and settle into our Sharing Circle, a warm space for truth and being truly heard.

As the sun is beginning to tire, we’ll move into slow somatic explorations. Perhaps meditation, partner work or embodied yin (sleepy yoga!) to invite you deeper into your inner landscape.

It’s then time to get cosy and gather for a feast for the body and the senses, nourishing from the inside out.

We’ll close the day by the fire pit, wrapped in warmth and starlight, letting the night sky soften everything you’ve opened during our daily explorations

Sadie and Marie

Both from the UK, both full time yoga teachers with drama school backgrounds, Marie & Sadie met in Bali on a transformational teacher training with the school of ‘Authentic Flow’. ​

After years of teaching under their belts already, training with Authentic Flow felt like the shake up they had both been yearning for in their personal practices and careers.

​​This way of practice felt like a coming home and was the reminder and permission that they both needed to stay true to their authentic selves, and inspiration to share directly through their love of creative expression and the vehicle of the body.

​A reminder that in breaking out of the familiarity of the comfort zone, we can open up to a world of possibility and potential within ourselves.

we can’t wait to share this transformative experience with you

the yoga practices

Practices are inspired by Marie & Sadie’s studies with the school of Authentic Flow.

"Authentic Flow is a somatic approach to movement through which we listen, taste, see, feel, inquire and learn to embody our bodies as a living, feeling and exploring creative process of becoming."​

​Through somatic enquiry the intention is to cultivate a deeper connection to the body, learning to listen & respond to the internal language of the body through movement & somatic explorations of yoga asana and free movement.

You can expect 2 somatic & embodied practices a day plus additional somatic workshops.
