About this trip

Rebuild, restore, & reconnect in Mother Nature’s splendor on a week-long wellness experience nestled in the cork sanctuary just outside Évora, Portugal. Together, as a community, we will dive into the physical, mental & spiritual aspects of yoga alongside world-renowned teachers, lounge by the pool, roam through the cork forests of the Alentejo, & immerse into the forever winsome & giving Portuguese culture.

Connect

 You will find yourself in a safe & accepting environment within our community, where you can make new connections & build relationships with inspiring & like-minded people from around the world.  Corc Yoga retreats are experiences that cultivate a compelling change not only in the lives of each participant but also in the lives of thousands of others worldwide & Mother Nature.

We specifically design each experience for YOU by offering a variety of wellness classes, workshops, & cultural experiences that you’ll remember forever. In addition, we create flexible itineraries, secure unique locations, & ensure the utmost care & luxury throughout your journey from arrival to departure.

Experience Portugal

Combining cultural hot-spots with rugged landscapes & wide-stretching beaches, Portugal is a hidden gem. Awarded as the World's Leading Destination,  Portugal also boasts some of the best wellness retreats in Europe, & is home to the unique & organic element, cork.

The Renewal will be held in Evora, Portugal, a historic World Heritage City within the Alentejo region where guests will be free to wander down the beautifully preserved cobble-stoned streets, visit striking architectural sights such as the cinematic columns of the Templo Romano, & the picturesque town square.


Curated Cuisine

Sharing meals brings us together and builds community. Portugal owes much of its fame to the warmth of its hospitality, which is why food in Portugal is such a serious affair.   From the moment you arrive, we will make sure you’re never hungry, tired or thirsty.  

You will experience a variety of exclusive wine tastings, curated meals with ingredients sourced from local farms prepared by thoughtfully selected chefs, learn the art of Portuguese cooking and enjoy special olive oil tastings at a local award winning olive oil farm.

I had a wonderful experience on this trip. Everyone involved in putting this retreat together, and the retreat itself, was amazing. I am so grateful this opportunity came to me a week before it began and I was able to be a part of this journey. I am very much looking forward to the next event Cork Yoga puts together!
