(RE)TREAT YOURSELF
The Offering
We have found a true sanctuary in the heart of the beautiful Alentejo area of Portugal, that we can't wait to share with you. A gorgeous estate and farm with a salt water pool, vegetable garden, animals, surrounded by acres of natural landscapes and a private swimming lake: this is the perfect location for tranquility and togetherness - and we couldn't be more excited to invite you.
During this retreat you will stay in the most beautiful accommodation, eat delicious local and organic dishes, meet and connect with like-minded people, explore the Portuguese country side and beaches through walks and hikes, move and nurture your body, expand your mind, and hopefully (re)discover some things about yourself
Imagine a holiday where everything will be taken care of so you can fully relax and enjoy.
A week just for you.
The
Teachers
This FORM Retreat will be led and facilitated by Italy Padilla and Lara Coret.
Italy is the owner and founder of FORM, whose teaching style combines different lineages from dance, pilates, barre, vinyasa, kundalini and katonah yoga. Her love for creativity, technique and connection are at the heart of all her classes.
Lara is one of FORM's earliest teachers. Her barre classes are fiery, fierce and fun. She also has a tremendous love for and experience in teaching yin and restorative classes that allow her nurturing essence to shine.
This lovely duo has been working together for a long time, hosted their first retreat together last year and is now a well oiled machine of collaboration and facilitation!
Their aim is for you to get reacquainted with your deeper self, in a peaceful and safe setting.
Italy and Lara will genuinely and open-heartedly welcome you and guide you while you find your personal balance between moments of recharging and socialising.
Expect to be moving, sweating, smiling, sharing, learning, swimming, reading, journaling, laughing and crying - in other words, all the good stuff.
