Location
Our home for the retreat is Buddha Retreats, a beautifully restored country house in the charming village of Columbeira, just an hour north of Lisbon. Nestled among green hills and close to the coast, it’s the perfect setting for unplugging and recharging.
At Buddha Retreats, we start the day with yoga, meditation, or even surfing—and we nourish ourselves with fresh, wholesome meals made from local market produce.
Our Intention
We’ve created this retreat especially for the Hot Flow Yoga community—to deepen your practice, reconnect with your body and mind, and share a beautiful experience in nature. We’re so excited to embark on this new adventure with you, in a space rooted in sustainability and care.
