Balance Breathe Believe

For those feeling disappointed or wanting a fresh start?

Maybe Christmas didn’t quite deliver what you hoped for?

The gift wasn’t right.
The time off wasn’t restful.
The feeling you were waiting for didn’t arrive.

If that’s you, consider this:
you can still give yourself something meaningful.

Planning something ahead — something restorative — can change how the new year begins.

My walking and yoga retreat near Porto (April 2026) is an invitation to start fresh:
to move your body gently, clear your head, and reconnect with yourself in nature.

Sometimes knowing there’s something good on the horizon is the best gift of all.

Christmas felt like a lot — or not a lot and a bit of a let down???
Too much noise, too much food, too many expectations — you’re not alone.

Boxing Day can be a quiet moment to exhale.
To notice how tired your body feels.
To admit that you might need a break.

In April 2026, I’m offering something slower:
a walking and yoga retreat in the hills just outside Porto.

No schedules to juggle.
No roles to perform.
Just walking in nature, gentle yoga, nourishing meals, and time to reset.

If today you’re craving calm and a little self love and self care, rather than celebration, this retreat is something to quietly look forward to.

If you want to treat yourself here's the deal:-
Quinta do Rapozinho:
- 4 nights in a stunning oasis with beautiful, serene ensuite accommodations
- Daily outdoor/ indoor yoga sessions
- Nourishing meals catering to all dietary requirements
- Onsite masseuse to ease your tired body
- Optional tour of Porto
- Guided hike and ramble
- Cooking workshop

If you’re still looking for a meaningful gift this Christmas —
for yourself or for someone you love — consider this:-

Not more stuff.
Not something that will be forgotten by January.

But time.
Space to breathe.
Movement that restores rather than exhausts.

In April 2026, I’m hosting a walking and yoga retreat in the hills just outside Porto — a few days of gentle walking, accessible yoga, nourishing food, and quiet connection with nature.

It’s a gift for tired bodies, busy minds, and people who rarely put themselves first.

If this Christmas you’re longing for something slower, calmer, and genuinely nourishing — this retreat is an invitation.

If you fancy turning your face to the sun, warming your body on a yoga deck and getting out about in Portugal, brushing off your walkers, shaking and a moving with like minded people - the why not join me in Porto - 24-28th April 2026.
Three-quarters of the places have already gone for the Rustic Ramblings Yoga and Walking Retreat - we'll be doing some great walks in the hills outside Porto - cooking up a storm in a cooking class and exploring what the wonderful city of Porto has to offer us too - think amazing tiled buildings, the river, the bustling social market and great shops, bars and restaurants. I can't wait to go back.

Can't think what to get your loved one for Christmas - or you just need to gift yourself a great getaway with a friend to run to the hills.....then come to Porto.

There's just 3 or 4 spaces left for the Rustic Ramblings and Yoga Retreat - just outside the vibrant city of Porto - 24-28th April 2026. I went last summer to Porto and I loved it - can't wait to go back taking you with me!

I can't help but think about warmer sunnier days, planning trips for next year - personal as well as work related - they all merge into one sometimes!
