Back to the Roots Retreat in Portugal
May 27th - May 31st, 2026 • Ericeira, Portugal
With Yoga, Sound, and Ayurveda towards your journey of holistic health
Anne Gocht and Laura Gomez invite you to spend a week in Portugal in the beautiful coastal town of Ericeira, only 30 minutes from Lisbon, in a cozy beach villa, and dive deep into the 5000-year-old ancient healing wisdom of Yoga, Sound & Ayurveda.
This retreat is perfect for yoga beginners or advanced yogis who want to deepen their practice and get inspired by different practices designed to nourish your soul, restore balance, and guide you on a journey of self-discovery and joy.
Only two minutes away from the beach, with the ocean sound in our ears, this retreat invites you to relax and unwind, spending five beautiful days in a meaningful community.
Back to the Roots means to come back to oneself, back to the origin, back to nature & enjoy life
The retreat combines three holistic elements
the old practice of Sound Healing with Tibetan singing bowls
The power of Vinyasa Yoga, combined with Pranayama practice activates Prana, as well as gentle Yin Yoga, which invites you to let go and integrate.
And the knowledge of Ayurveda, the little sister of yoga, will accompany us.
