Find a yoga retreat focuses on holistic health in April 2025
Spring is a time of renewal and growth, making it the perfect season to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. The "Awakening Your Inner Self" retreat, scheduled for April 6th to 12th and April 20th to 26th, 2025, at the Yoga Evolution Retreat Center in central Portugal, offers an immersive experience designed to deepen your connection with yourself and the natural world.
A Holistic Approach to Well-being
This retreat integrates a variety of practices aimed at nurturing both body and mind. Participants will engage in Vinyasa Flow Yoga, a dynamic practice that synchronizes breath with movement to build strength and flexibility. Complementing this are sessions of Muscle Tendon Changing Qigong, an ancient practice focusing on releasing tension and enhancing energy flow through specific postures and movements.
To further facilitate inner exploration, the retreat includes meditation techniques such as the Microcosmic Orbit, which involves circulating energy through the body's primary channels to promote balance and harmony. Shamanic Drum Journeys offer a meditative experience using rhythmic drumming to guide participants into a state of deep relaxation and self-reflection.
Sound Healing and Somatic Practices
Sound healing sessions feature planetary gongs tuned to specific frequencies, creating vibrations that can induce profound states of relaxation and healing. These sessions aim to clear negative energy and promote a sense of well-being. Somatic Yoga practices are also incorporated, focusing on gentle movements and awareness to release chronic tension and improve overall body alignment.
Connecting with Nature
Set amidst seven hectares of well-tended forest land, the retreat center provides ample opportunities to connect with nature. Guided forest walks allow participants to immerse themselves in the vibrant spring landscape, fostering a deeper appreciation for the environment and its rejuvenating qualities. Journaling exercises complement these walks, encouraging introspection and the setting of personal intentions.
Nourishing the Body
Nutrition plays a crucial role in the retreat experience. Delicious and healthy meals are prepared using fresh, organic ingredients where possible, supporting the body's natural detoxification processes. These meals are designed to complement the physical practices, ensuring participants feel energized and nourished throughout their stay.
Comfortable Accommodations
Accommodation options range from cozy stone cottages to eco-friendly caravans nestled in the forest. Each space is thoughtfully designed to provide comfort while maintaining harmony with the natural surroundings. Amenities include comfortable beds, private en-suite bathrooms in selected rooms, and designated areas for Wi-Fi access, allowing guests to disconnect from daily distractions and fully engage in the retreat experience.
Investment in Self
The retreat spans six nights and five full days, with prices per person as follows:
Single Room: £600
Twin Room: £550
Double Room: £550
Single/Double En-suite: £700
Room with a Veranda: £750
Eco Caravan: £500
These rates include accommodation, all classes, and meals, offering a comprehensive package for those seeking a transformative retreat experience.
Embark on Your Journey
Joining the "Awakening Your Inner Self" retreat provides an opportunity to deepen your yoga practice, explore new forms of movement and mindfulness, and reconnect with your inner self in a serene and supportive environment. Whether you are new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this retreat offers a space to reflect, renew, and set intentions for the future, all while surrounded by the natural beauty of Portugal in springtime.

Chakra Journey: Immersion into Seasonal Yoga Practice
Transform old patterns. Find inner confidence and lightness. Experience holistic growth as you discover the themes and yogic practices of each season and chakra.
Who is this Journey for?
It’s for those who are curious about how yoga philosophy, chakra teachings, and the energy of the seasons can enrich your daily life. If you’ve been practicing yoga for a while and are ready to deepen your self-discovery journey, this workshop series is perfect for you. It offers thematic answers to life’s big questions, practical tools, and helps you live consciously and joyfully. Discover how to move gracefully and in harmony with life’s natural rhythms.
What to Expect?
The Chakra Journey is a workshop-series of 4 seasonal sessions. Each session focuses on the corresponding themes of that season and will combine two complimentary chakras in a unique way to support your journey of self-discovery and holistic growth. It's a fusion of study, inquiry, asana, pranayama and meditation, custom-made and based on Karolien's personal journey and discoveries.
In a nutshell
Winter: The Foundation of Rest and Inspiration
Root deeply and open up to new sources of inspiration. Find rest, stability, and nourishing comfort in the stillness and darkness of winter. More being, less doing.
Spring: The Innocent Flow of Creativity
Awaken your desires and creative energy, and be intuitively guided. Open up to the magic of everyday and amaze yourself about life’s synchronicities. More play, less focus.
Summer: The Calling for Self-expression
Ignite your inner fire, step into your greatness, and speak your truth. Take meaningful steps towards your dreams and values. More playing big, less listening to fears.
Autumn: Coming Home in the Heart
Conclude the cycle and receive the fruits of your journey with gratitude. Embrace life’s natural flow with faith and learn to let go off what is old. More abundance, less resistance.
Interesting to know
In each workshop we will dedicate time to absorb new information about the theme’s of each season and how the chakra’s relate to that. Then there is time to reflect on this through inquiry, journaling and/or sharing so it becomes alive in your personal life-situation of that moment. And then we will bring all of this to the mat and explore a yoga practice of about 75-90 minutes that combines asana, pranayama and meditation catering towards the arising challenges when embracing the calling of each season. You’ll leave nourished, inspired and motivated.
A recording of the yoga class – filmed upfront, so it doesn’t interrupt the intimacy and flow of our workshop – will become available to you after the workshop so you can come back to the yoga practice as often as you feel need for it throughout the season until we meet again.
To support you further, you’ll get an extensive handout with valuable information, journaling prompts, and practical exercises to support implementation and integration in your daily life.
The workshops can be booked as a complete journey or individually, if one theme calls you more than others.
Why This Journey Will Enrich You:
Depth and Insights: Understand how chakras work and learn ways to integrate their wisdom into your daily life.
Practical Tools: Gain techniques and lifestyle tips that you can apply right away to enhance your well-being.
Balance and Flow: Align your daily life and inner energy with the natural rhythms of the seasons.
Inner Growth: Break free from old patterns and move towards a life filled with confidence, lightness, and joy.
Community: Connect with like-minded individuals and draw inspiration from shared experiences.

Differences Between Power Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga
Power Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga both feature dynamic flows, but they cater to different goals. Power Yoga is more intense, focusing on strength and endurance by holding poses longer, making it ideal for those seeking a challenging workout. Vinyasa Yoga, meanwhile, emphasizes smooth transitions and breath connection, balancing strength and flexibility. At Arya Power Yoga, experience both to suit your wellness needs. PowerYoga

The Science Behind Kundalini Yoga: How It Affects the Brain and Body
Kundalini Yoga, often referred to as the "yoga of awareness," is a unique practice that combines physical postures, breathing techniques, meditation, and mantra chanting. Unlike other yoga styles, Kundalini Yoga focuses on awakening the dormant energy (Kundalini) at the base of the spine and channeling it through the chakras to achieve spiritual enlightenment. This holistic approach has garnered significant interest in the scientific community, leading to a growing body of research on its effects on the brain and body. In this blog, we explore the scientific evidence supporting Kundalini Yoga’s physical and mental health benefits and how it differs from other yoga styles.
Scientific Research on Kundalini Yoga
Recent scientific studies have begun to uncover the profound impact of Kundalini Yoga on both mental and physical health. One notable study published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience found that Kundalini Yoga can significantly reduce stress and anxiety while enhancing cognitive function and emotional regulation. Participants in the study who practiced Kundalini Yoga regularly showed lower levels of cortisol, the body's primary stress hormone, and exhibited improved resilience to stress.
Additionally, research from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) highlighted the potential of Kundalini Yoga in managing psychiatric conditions. In a randomized controlled trial, participants with generalized anxiety disorder who engaged in Kundalini Yoga experienced greater reductions in anxiety and depressive symptoms compared to those who practiced conventional stress management techniques.
Physical and Mental Health Benefits Supported by Studies
**1. Improved Mental Health: Kundalini Yoga has been shown to be highly effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The combination of breathwork, meditation, and movement helps to balance the autonomic nervous system, promoting a state of calm and relaxation.
2. Enhanced Cognitive Function: Regular practice of Kundalini Yoga has been linked to improvements in memory, attention, and executive function. This is largely attributed to the practice's emphasis on mindfulness and meditative techniques, which enhance brain plasticity and cognitive performance.
3. Physical Health Benefits: On a physical level, Kundalini Yoga offers numerous benefits, including increased flexibility, strength, and stamina. The practice's dynamic movements and postures improve cardiovascular health, support the lymphatic system, and boost overall energy levels.
4. Emotional Regulation: Kundalini Yoga’s use of specific breathing techniques and meditative practices helps regulate emotions by balancing the brain's limbic system, which is responsible for emotional processing. This leads to better mood stability and a more positive outlook on life.
How Kundalini Yoga Differs from Other Yoga Styles
While all yoga styles offer numerous health benefits, Kundalini Yoga stands out due to its unique approach and specific focus on energy awakening and spiritual growth. Here are some key differences:
**1. Emphasis on Spiritual Awakening: Kundalini Yoga is inherently spiritual, with a primary goal of awakening the Kundalini energy and achieving a higher state of consciousness. This contrasts with other styles, such as Hatha or Vinyasa, which may focus more on physical postures and overall wellness.
2. Combination of Techniques: Kundalini Yoga integrates a variety of techniques, including asanas (postures), pranayama (breath control), mudras (hand gestures), bandhas (body locks), and chanting. This multifaceted approach is designed to stimulate and balance the entire system, both physically and energetically.
3. Structured Practice: Kundalini Yoga sessions follow a specific structure, typically beginning with a tuning-in mantra, followed by a kriya (a series of postures, breaths, and sounds), and ending with a meditation and closing song. This structured approach ensures a comprehensive practice that targets multiple aspects of health and well-being.
4. Focus on Breath and Meditation: While many yoga styles incorporate breathwork and meditation, Kundalini Yoga places a significant emphasis on these elements. Breathing techniques are often more complex and are used to manipulate energy flow within the body, while meditation practices are deeply integrated to enhance mental clarity and spiritual connection.
In conclusion, the growing body of scientific research on Kundalini Yoga underscores its profound impact on both the brain and body. With its unique blend of physical, mental, and spiritual practices, Kundalini Yoga offers a holistic approach to health and well-being, distinguishing itself from other yoga styles. Whether you are seeking to reduce stress, enhance cognitive function, or embark on a journey of spiritual awakening, Kundalini Yoga provides a powerful tool for transformation.

The value of community: Remove the illusory gap
As you sit down on your yoga mat.. there is the tendency to immediately close the eyes and turn in. But for once.. please look around, with your eyes wide open. Notice the value of community. Notice the people around you.
‘’The eye can see what we have in common or focus on what keeps us apart. And the heart can feel what joins us with everything or replay its many cuts. And the tongue can praise the wind or warn against the storm. It can praise the sea of dread the floods. It’s not that there are no differences – the world is made of infinite variety – rather it is the fearing of differences – that keeps us from feeling grace. Paradoxically everything in life touches the same centre through its uniqueness – the way no two souls are the same, though every soul breathes the same air’’.
Mark Nepo wrote this in his book ‘’The book of awaking’’ that he wrote during his battle with cancer.
So, as you sit on your mat, relax your heart, breathe deeply. You know, I’ve cried so deeply these last weeks. During Christmas I couldn’t stop crying anymore. I was frustrated and angry. I wanted the bullshit to stop, the fire to cease. I guess I ruined Christmas for my family members around me, with my torment.. I texted the wise friend about my despair. He said; ‘Rejoice the fact that you cry – if we wouldn’t in the face of current wounds of our fellow humans – who are we? What is left of us?’
Everything that removes the illusory gap between you and all those around you – is spiritual. When we fall into the illusion that one creation is better than the other – we enter the minds worst disease - the endless deciding between want and don’t want – the endless war between for and against. In the Yoga Sutra’s of Patanjali this disease is referred to as Raga and Dvesha as the effects of Avidya or ignorance.
My friend made me realize that all I have is the gift to be fully open. To let life touch me – to empathize. Not to numb, not to walk away, not to wash my hands in innocence ánd not to wallow in pity. Just to let life touch me and trust that the heart is big enough to hold it all. To empathize as my motor for knowing and living truth.
The Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield shares: ‘’Even the most exalted states and the most exceptional spiritual accomplishments are unimportant if we cannot touch one another and the life we have been given with our hearts. In undertaking a spiritual life, what matters is simple: We must make certain that our path is connected with our heart. In the end, spiritual life is not a process of seeking or gaining some extraordinary condition or special powers. In fact, such seeking can take us away from ourselves. If we are not careful, we can easily find the great failures of our modern society—its ambition, materialism, and individual isolation—repeated in our spiritual life. In beginning a genuine spiritual journey, we have to stay much closer to home, to focus directly on what is right here in front of us, to make sure that our path is connected with our deepest love.
When people come to the end of their lives and look back, the questions that they most often ask are not usually, “How much is in my bank account?” or “How many books did I write?” or “What did I build?” or the like. If you have the privilege of being with a person who is conscious at the time of their death, you find the questions such a person asks are very simple, “Did I love well?” “Did I live fully?” “Did I learn to let go?”
These simple questions go to the very core of spiritual life. When we consider loving well and living fully, we can see the ways our attachments and fears have limited us, and we can see the many opportunities for our hearts to open. Have we let ourselves love the people around us, our family, our community, the earth upon which we live? And, did we also learn to let go? Did we learn to live through the changes of life with grace, wisdom, and compassion? Have we learned to shift from the clinging mind to the joy of freedom?
We must look at the values we have chosen to live by. Where do we put our time, our strength, our creativity, our love? We must look at our life without sentimentality, exaggeration, or idealism. Does what we are choosing reflect what we most deeply value? If we are still and listen deeply, even for a moment, we will know if we are following a path with heart. All other spiritual teachings are in vain if we cannot love. Even the most exalted states and the most exceptional spiritual accomplishments are unimportant if, we cannot touch one another and the life we have been given.
So, what matters is what we see and how we live. Ask yourself concerning the year that has past “Did I love well?” “Did I live fully?” “Did I learn to let go?” And let it be your guide for the year to come. For our passionate engagement in life. Keep opening up. Letting things in. Move. Protest. Care. Everything that removes the illusory gap between you and all those around you – is spiritual.
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
Much warmth,
Ida and All SvahaYoga staff

Amazing Benefits of Vinyasa Yoga
There are many physical advantages to vinyasa practice that might improve your general health. More flexibility is one of the main benefits.
Vinyasa emphasizes strength development in addition to flexibility. Over time, the varied postures’ dynamic motions and holds work different muscle areas, improving physical strength and endurance. This helps you avoid injuries and improves your physical performance.
