Strength • Stillness • Spirit

6-night Yogalates & Yin Yoga Women’s retreat

Portugal, 11th-17th July 2026

High in the sunlit foothills of the Algarve, the ancient village of Corgas Bravas has been lovingly reborn as Wild View Retreat; a sanctuary of whitewashed stone, wide skies and mountain air, setting the stage for a transformative week designed just for women.

This is your invitation to pause and reconnect to body, mind & spirit, surrounded by the tranquility of the Portuguese countryside and a community of lovely, like-minded people.

Expect a mix of mindful movement, community, laughter, naps, and well-earned indulgence…

Your Wild Sanctuary

Just 40 minutes from Faro airport, Wild View Retreat is an award-winning venue defined by its spectacular uninterrupted 360° views of the Serra do Caldeirão mountains. The area is protected for its natural beauty and famous for its Portuguese cortiça (cork) trees.

No traffic, no neighbours… just wilderness and nature.

Nothing but the birds and the breeze, and a view that’ll make your shoulders drop three inches on arrival :)

This retreat is your invitation to:

• Build strength, core stability and flexibility via morning Yogalates classes; a mindful blend of Yoga and Pilates

• Relax deeply-held tension during long and luxurious afternoon Yin Yoga sessions & optional massages

• Enjoy a restful beach day on the Algarve coast

• Nourish your wellbeing with plant-based meals and time in nature

• Feel held in sisterhood and community

• Rest deeply, move joyfully, and return home renewed!

In between classes there’ll be downtime for you to spend however makes you feel good… Explore the sprawling landscape, relax with a good book or take a cooling dip in the infinity pool.

Retreat Programme

Enjoy two yoga classes per day in the fully air conditioned and equipped yoga studio at Wild View. Classes are tailored to suit most abilities; beginners & intermediate levels welcome.

• Morning Yogalates

Yoga + Pilates = Yogalates! Our morning practice will be the dynamic, yet harmonious fusion of Hatha Yoga and Pilates, known as Solomon Yogalates™.

We’re lucky enough to have access to light weights, resistance bands and Pilates rings at Wild View Retreats (yay!), so this week-long retreat will have more of a strength-building focus than my prior retreats. Don’t worry, that doesn’t mean fast and furious cardio! If you’re a beginner, you won’t be left behind.

Yogalates is always slow and steady, combining body-conditioning Pilates techniques with enlivening Hatha yoga practices to sculpt your body, build strength, enhance flexibility and boost those happy hormones. Active practices will be scheduled before breakfast, when it’s not too hot, plus all indoor spaces on retreat have air conditioning.

• Afternoon Yin Yoga

These late afternoon lazy Yin sessions are one of the big highlights of my retreats! We’ll release physical tension and fatigue through a series of gentle, floor-based, passive yoga postures that will leave you feeling 100% blissed out.

I’ll also lead three Yoga Nidra meditations across the week, shifting your brain and body into a profoundly calming state, and down-regulating the nervous system.

These afternoon sessions are specifically designed to support you in letting go of stress and strain, helping you get the best sleep possible on retreat.

Delightful extras…

• Day trip to Barril beach

  Enjoy the refreshing ocean water, soft sand underfoot, and lunch at a beachside bar with our day trip to a gorgeous stretch of the Algarve coastline :)

  Travel there and back, plus sun loungers and shade on the beach will be included in your retreat package. Lunch is not included, so this will be an extra cost. If skipping the day trip, a light lunch will be provided for you at the venue as usual.

• Sauna

  For one hour per day we’ll have access to a Finnish log cabin sauna on site at the venue for those who wish to use it! Time in a sauna can positively benefit cardiovascular health, brain function, immunity and detoxification.

• Massages

Massage treatments are always a big hit on my retreats! A beautiful opportunity to slow down, release stress, and tune back in to your body. Our visiting licensed therapists bring a deeply restorative touch, helping you drop into full relaxation and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and completely renewed.

This is your time, so everything is optional on this retreat.

Food & Nourishment

Our brilliant Portuguese chefs, Carla and her partner, have been crafting vibrant, plant-based dishes for almost a decade, transforming simple, local ingredients and wild herbs into colourful, nourishing meals that burst with flavour. Blending modern plant-based cooking with a nod to their Portuguese roots, each meal they create has a touch of tradition, a lot of love, and that unmistakable taste of the Algarve sun.

Example dishes:

• Sweet potato kumpir with lentils, spiced hummus and cashew mozzarella, roasted red bell peppers, marinated courgette

• Vietnamese Summer Rolls with tofu, carrot, lettuce, cucumber, pepper, coriander & mint with peanut sauce

• “Punched” potatos (Portuguese boiled & roasted rosemary potatos) with shiitake mushroom skewers, white bean puree, hasselback courgette and hazelnut dukkah

• Tiramisù with cashew based mascarpone & coconut-oat cream; raw cocoa

Your teacher

Hi I’m Beth, the founder of Yogalates London, and I’ll be leading all classes on this retreat.

I’ve been teaching since 2014 and have advanced teaching qualifications in Solomon Yogalates, Yin Yoga and Hatha Yoga. I have been running UK and international Yogalates & Yin retreats since 2017. I love helping people discover greater ease and freedom of movement in their bodies through Yogalates, as well as the profound mental and emotional shifts that come from regular practice.

I’m also a passionate believer in the transformative powers of yoga and meditation in these technology-focused, fast-paced times of ours.

Travelling solo?

After years of attending and running retreat events, there is nothing quite like the soul-enriching, joyful and supportive atmosphere that develops on retreat. Like-minded women coming together, forming friendships and deep connections that last far beyond the final savasana.

If you’re travelling solo and feel nervous about sharing a room, you might be surprised about the close-kit friendships that can develop, and special memories made. Cohabiting can seem daunting, but there are plenty of peaceful, secluded spots in the grounds for the moments you need it.

NB: Maximum capacity on this retreat is 20 guests.

This retreat is for women who want to:

✨ Move their body in ways that feel great
✨ Switch off without feeling guilty
✨ Meet lovely, like-minded people
✨ Eat amazing food, laugh loads, sleep deeply
✨ Come home feeling stronger, calmer, and a little more you

No experience needed, no competition… just sunshine, good company and time for yourself!
