Experiences

Sintra is more than a destination. It’s a shared human experience that often appears looking back at us without judgement.

One of the primary intentions behind our international yoga retreats is to create space to step away from the stories we so often, and so candidly, believe define us. We are so much more than the narratives we tell ourselves. At our core, we are open to the world, and it is through this openness that meaning begins to unfold. Our yoga practice is one of the clearest expressions of this unfolding meaning.

When we are invited to carry the practice into a foreign place, the distant hidden stories we once believed defined us are rediscovered. In this new landscape, we find ourselves more open and often recognize that those old stories no longer serve us.

We also design these retreats to have these experiences in community, as we collectively engage with a world that calls us into action. And while abroad, we curate specific events to meet others to discover their stories. Even when those stories appear in different languages and cannot be fully translated, at their core they are undeniably the same. Much like our yoga practice, they offer a moment of recognition – of being truly seen by another – and reveal the shared meaning of what it is to be human.

We are in the process of finalizing several experiences in addition to our daily yoga practice. In the weeks ahead, we will introduce you to the individuals and groups who will be sharing their stories with us, offering experiences we will carry long after we leave Sintra.
