Portugal Flexibility & Handstand Reunion

May 2-8 2027

Alta Vista Lodge
Located 1 hour from Faro Airport or 3 hours from Lisbon

This is a reunion for students who have trained together over the years, and a chance for those who have been waiting for the right opportunity to finally join us in person.

Whether you've been training consistently or are just getting back into your practice after some time away you'll be welcomed into a week of challenging classes, shared meals, meaningful conversations, and unforgettable memories.

Expect twice-daily handstand and flexibility sessions most days, individualized feedback and spotting, open practice, and plenty of opportunities to dive deeper into your movement practice.

This is not a yoga retreat. Nearly every class will focus on handstands, flexibility, mobility and recovery, making it perfect for students looking to immerse themselves in a week of intentional practice alongside an incredible community.

Tentative schedule will be released soon, but you can expect a morning practice around 8am each day and an afternoon practice around 4/5pm. There will be one lighter day for excursions and rest.
