Looking for more balance, clarity and well-being? This retreat is for you if you:
No experience needed. Spiritual, not religious: no alcohol, no drugs, no ayahuasca or other plant medicine.
Daily yoga
Every day at the Unah Retreat starts with yoga. It is the first practice of the morning, adapted to every level, and no previous experience is needed.
Classes are led by Rapha Simões, host of the retreat and yoga teacher, and Dani Bruce, a yoga teacher for over 20 years trained in Hatha, Vinyasa and Lu Jong, who leads Sun Salutations at sunrise. At Unah, yoga isn’t about performance. It’s about presence.
Unah Retreat
The Unah method brings you closer to nature, outside and within, so your body and mind can find their own balance again. It draws on ancestral wisdom and spirituality, with no religion. It rests on 3 pillars:
We follow the rhythms of nature, walk barefoot on the earth and honor the life around us. Caring for the land and water is a way of caring for ourselves.
A deep dive into body, mind, emotions and spirit, so you can live with more purpose and empathy.
Practices that inspire simpler, more sustainable choices, aligned with what really matters.

Everyone moves at their own pace, in a deep and caring process.
The group builds a sense of belonging, real connection and expanded awareness.
