PAUSE: Nervous System Reset Retreat 2026

Portugal Wellness Retreat
25th-30th May 2026
Northern Portugal | 5 nights, all-inclusive
 
Escape the noise. Return to you.
This retreat isn’t about doing more. It’s about finally having space to pause - to soften, to rest, to reset.
 
Led by Tiff, Women's Health Physiotherapist, Soul & Soma Founder & APPI Pilates Instructor, and Elle, Osteopath & Yoga Teacher, Soul & Soma: Pause blends clinical expertise with holistic intention. We meet you where you are - offering a retreat experience that’s as much about nervous system support as it is about mindful movement. It’s where healthcare meets healing.
 
Your Setting
Nestled deep in the Portuguese countryside, this off-grid retreat space is a solar-powered sanctuary surrounded by nature. Lovingly restored farm cottages, a flowing river, organic gardens, and peaceful animals roaming the grounds set the tone for slow, intentional living.
 
The facilities include:
Open-air dojo with valley views for daily movement practice
Infinity pool and outdoor jacuzzi
Wood-fired sauna, optional massage, and hidden cinema bunker
Cosy shared or private rooms with rustic charm and comfort
3 nourishing meals per day using organic, seasonal produce grown on site (dietary needs catered for)
You’ll have plenty of free time each day to rest, read, walk in the valley, swim in the river, or simply lie under the trees doing nothing at all.
 
What to Expect
This isn’t a high-intensity schedule. It’s a curated rhythm of movement, stillness, education, and deep restoration.
 
A Glimpse of the Daily Flow:
Morning movement: Breath-led Pilates or yoga in the open-air dojo
Workshops: Topics include nervous system reset, women’s health, hormones, and mind–body connection
Afternoons: Space to unwind - choose rest or adventure: sauna, hiking, swimming, treatments, journalling, or napping in the sun
Evenings: Yin yoga, sound baths, reflection rituals, or mindful cinema moments
Final night: Celebration flow class, fire circle, and grounding aromatherapy practice
