Fall Equinox Yoga Retreat in Setúbal, Portugal


Setúbal is one of Portugal’s best-kept secrets, known for its stunning coastline, turquoise waters, and relaxed coastal rhythm. This Fall Equinox Yoga retreat is an invitation to pause, restore balance, and welcome the turning of the season.

Each day begins with a morning yoga practice rooted in traditional Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, designed to support balance on both physical and energetic levels. Classes blend steady, mindful movement with breathwork and meditation, exploring the relationship between effort and ease, strength and stability, as we move into the equilibrium of the Fall Equinox.

Practices are thoughtfully paced and accessible, offering options for both beginners and longtime practitioners. Evening practices, offered on select days, are slower and more restorative, helping the body integrate the day’s experiences and settle into evening.

A Fall Equinox ritual honors the seasonal balance between light and dark. The intention of this retreat is not achievement or intensity, but recalibration using the breath to find balance in body, mind, and spirit.​
