YOGA RETREATS

  

Taiba Beach offers the perfect setting to reconnect with yourself. The Atlantic Ocean seeps in through your window and the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach lull you to sleep every night.


Unleash your inner strengths, release your worries and any tension lodged in your body through our daily morning yoga classes. A luxurios two-hour dynamic flow will focus on stretching the muscles around the hips and shoulders. Students follow an invigorating practice of standing poses, arm balances, inversions and core stability, cleansing and oxygenating every single molecule in the body.


Then recharge in the evenings through a restorative practice, a complete drawing in of the nervous system. Dusk is time to recuperate, rest the body and the mind, following a series of pacifying postures that induce students to relax deeply.

We offer the option to follow a 7-Day Raw Food Detox Diet. Nourish your body with live (superfoods) foods, a lush variety of organic greens and sumptious exotic fruits from the coastal littoral and the Amazon rainforest. This regimen fortifies the immune system, rests the digestive system, boosts your metabolism, and replenishes your body of essential minerals and naturally-dispensed vitamins. You will feel the difference in the colour and texture of your skin. It is, truly, like breathing poetry. You will have the option to participate in a series of nutritional workshops that will teach you to keep you lean, healthy and fit from the inside out. Learn to make mouth-watering, healthy, and well-balanced meals in our cooking workshops. It's a skill you'll be able to use over your lifetime.


This practice itself establishes a pattern of exercising one's will power, reacquainting us to the discipline necessary to kick those old habits we've collected over time. To empower yourself with the tools to keep a healthy waistline and a radiant figure, is longevity at its best.

EXTRAS

European Winter spells Summer in Brasil. The ocean surf is within walking distance of the country's smoothest breaks. Learn to surf with a private instructor. Fly a kite, or learn to surf with one. Join a tour of Taiba Village to visit the marketplace, meet local artists and craft makers.


Samba not disco, or disco if you fancy, then discover the twist: a narrative of nightlife in South America could only be made justice through the lyrics of Bebel, Caetano, Astrud, or an Antonio Carlos Jobim.
