AZORES, PORTUGAL RETREAT
SEPT 20-25 2024
Join Stephanie Schwartz for 5 nights / 6 days of yoga and adventure in the Azores, Portugal!
This beautiful location in the Azores will provide us a stunning back drop to be in nature, practice yoga in community, and to have fun! Whether you’re coming to unwind, revitalize, or to see more of the world, you will have a wonderful time with like minded people.
The Azores are a volcanic land, full of natural, raw beauty, a temperate climate and outdoor activities. Truly an adventure lovers paradise, and just a 5 hour direct flight from New York, these islands are known as the "Hawaii of the mid-atlantic" and are not to be missed!
We will be staying on the "Green Island" of Sao Miguel, home to vibrant blue volcanic lakes, black sand beaches, lush natural preserves, and panoramic cliffs. Our home for the week will be the 5-star Senhora da Rosa resort, which offers a swimming pool, a pineapple greenhouse hot tub, a full day spa, and multiple bars, lounges and a top rated restaurant, all for your use.
Daily yoga classes offered by Stephanie will include all levels vinyasa classes in the mornings, and a meditation and journaling workshop, and an inversions conditioning workshop on two of the evenings.
Our two excursion days will include hikes for all levels to some of the most stunning vistas on the island, soaks in natural hot springs, and exploration of neighboring towns and beaches. There will also be plenty of time on our two free days for relaxation at our resort, or further exploration of the island. Check out our Azores Free Day Activities Guide to see all of the options!
Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
January 18-25, 2025
Escape with me to Lake Atitlan, a magical crater lake located in the heart of Guatemala. This retreat will provide you with the perfect opportunity to invest in yourself and your health, as well as explore a remote and sacred part of the world.
What can you expect on this retreat?
Our journey begins with an overnight stay in the colonial city of Antigua, where our community will gather and connect for the first time. You'll have time to explore the unique architecture, rooftop restaurants, and boutiques of Antigua prior to meeting up for a welcome dinner that evening. We highly recommend coming in a night early, if you can, to enjoy even more time in this city!
On day 2, we will make our way to Isla Verde, a lakefront retreat center with a relaxing bohemian vibe, and stunning views of Lake Atitlan. Once there, you will have ample opportunity to experience the Mayan culture of Lake Atitlan, connect with nature, practice yoga in community, and create your own adventure.
Our time together will include daily yoga programming with me, locally sourced meals, two included cultural and adventure-driven excursions, and plenty of time for you to relax and recharge amongst the lush grounds of Isla Verde and Lake Atitlan. Our retreat center features a lakefront hot tub, temazcal sauna, and restaurant / lounge area, all available for you to enjoy!
Outdoor lovers will have ample opportunity to partake in many activities throughout our week including: hiking, stand up paddle boarding, horseback riding, zip lining, and paragliding, to name a few. Cultural activities include local cooking and weaving classes, and coffee farm tours. Boat rides are readily available to visit neighboring Mayan villages where you can enjoy local foods, markets, and some of the best textile and arts shopping in Central America.
Come experience Guatemala with me and an amazing group of humans. This week will change your life, if you let it. ;)
