About the retreat
We hold the retreat small and intimate with a maximum of 12 people, who can either stay for Retreat 1 or Retreat 2, but also for both weeks, if you would like to experience the place, yoga, and healthy food for a longer time.
You can imagine a typical day with us as follows:
Every day, we start off with a yoga & meditation session. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or advanced practitioner, we offer different modifications so that everybody and every body is able to follow.
Afterwards, we meet all together at the table for a long breakfast & brunch, enjoying delicious homemade food.
You then choose if you would like to explore the island, different beaches, a book in the hammock, shops in the village or do any of the many activities that are possible. If you just wish to relax you can do that at any time with a coconut in the garden or on the beach just in front of the farm.
On some afternoons, we offer extra workshops like a dream workshop, raw baking, local cooking classes which are inclusive and you're welcome to join.
In the late afternoon, we meet again for our 2nd daily yoga session and finish the day with a home-cooked dinner in the moonlight.

About the venue
The retreat venue is located on the Brazilian island Morro de São Paulo at the quiet end of the 4th beach where coconut palms meet the Sea. The retreat takes place on a coconut farm, home of Katja, one of our yoga instructors. The farm lies directly on the beach and has private beach access.
It's a farm with more than 5.000 coconut palms, little houses in the traditional fishermen style of the region, glamping tents, community kitchen, yoga shala, a sweet cat (Tony Shelby), adorable dog (Puma), cute donkey (Cabrinha), a crazy parrot (Loro), many cool chicks, exotic birds, and wild monkeys.
From the farm, it's a beautiful beach walk of 35 minutes to the 1st beach and village, passing by local fishermen and food & drink vendors on the beach. There is also a smaller local village located even closer to the venue with little supermarkets offering local produce.
All rooms & tents have a fan. The entire place has very good wifi.
About the food
We are super passionate about food and cooking. You will see and feel the love we put into every meal.
During the retreat, we serve plant-based vegan food. But no worries, you will get satisfied for sure, explore new flavors, and try also local specialties. Our fruits & veggies come in all different forms and shapes, some of it cultivated on our farm, others from local producers close by. We make our own bread, pancakes, pudding, cakes, cookies, burger, falafels, salads, bowls, pizza, curries, local stews... to just name a few and get you excited.
And of course coconuts. You get its water with many health benefits which will fuel you after your yoga classes. Its milk to mix with home made granola for breakfast or curry & stew for dinner. Its flesh in different sweets. Yoga & Coconuts - The perfect combo :-D
All food pictures were taken during our previous retreats
About the island
Morro de São Paulo is a Brazilian island close to the UNESCO World Heritage City of Salvador da Bahia. It's a very safe place where most of the locomotion happens by walking or horses. Only some locals are allowed to have a car.
The island is a great mix between tourism and local traditions & cuisine. During the retreat you will get to know both sides of the island.
Morro is divided in 5 beaches. Close to the 1st beach, you'll find a village with many little boutiques, cafés, and restaurants.
You can snorkle, dive, surf, ride horses, and do many more activities. Or just relax :-)
The more you walk towards the fifth beach the quieter it gets. The retreat venue is located on the 4th beach, surrounded by beautiful nature, mangrove forests, and crystal clear, warm water.
