Paraty, Brazil
A MOVEMENT + ADVENTURE RETREAT
April 3 - april 10, 2026
it’s a party in paraty!
Escape to the lush rainforest and pristine beaches of Paraty, Brazil, for a rejuvenating fitness and yoga retreat designed to nourish your body and mind. Nestled between the mountains and the sea, this immersive experience combines invigorating workouts, daily yoga sessions, and indulgent adventures with the rich cultural charm of Paraty’s colonial streets. Whether you're flowing through sun salutations or hiking to hidden waterfalls, each day offers the perfect balance of movement, relaxation, and connection with nature.
Where We’ll Stay
O Portalzinho is a cozy, nine‑room boutique pousada tucked into a peaceful residential grove just a five‑minute bike ride from Paraty’s lively colonial centre. This oasis strikes a perfect balance between intimate hospitality and modern comfort. Guests can unwind in the lush garden and pool area, savor daily cooked-to-order breakfasts made with locally sourced ingredients, then retreat to charmingly individual rooms—some with private balconies or even a treehouse vibe . Each room features queen beds, en-suite bathrooms, and either air conditioning or ceiling fans, offering an inviting and serene escape after exploring Paraty’s cobbled streets, waterfalls, and coastal beauty.
How We’ll Move
Each day begins with energizing morning workouts designed to invigorate your body and sharpen your focus. Sessions rotate between dynamic circuit training, core-strengthening Pilates, and high-energy boxing to keep things fresh and engaging for all fitness levels. As the sun sets, the pace softens with calming evening Vinyasa yoga sessions that flow seamlessly through breath and movement, helping you unwind, stretch, and restore. During the day, stay active and strong through hiking, surfing, kayaking, and dancing!
Brandon and Tiana will be your movement guides! Tiana started dancing at the age of 2 and developed a love for the body, movement, and exploration. She is passionate about finding joy in movement, creating balance inside and outside of the gym, and challenging her limits— and about showing others they can do the same. Brandon’s love of fitness started with track and field, competing in both high school and college and eventually becoming a coach. In his pursuit of physical strength, he strives to bring awareness and mindfulness to all athletic endeavors. They are certified personal trainers, yoga teachers, and life coaches.
Where We’ll Eat
Every meal is a celebration of Brazil’s vibrant culinary heritage, thoughtfully prepared by a professional local chef using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. From tropical fruits and just-caught seafood to organic vegetables and regional spices, each dish is crafted to nourish the body and delight the senses. Guests enjoy a rotating menu of wholesome breakfasts, energizing lunches, and soul-satisfying dinners that reflect the rich flavors of Brazilian cuisine, all while supporting local farmers and sustainable food practices. Whether dining al fresco or in a cozy communal setting, every bite brings you closer to the heart of Brazil.
