Portugal Retreat, Summer 2026 💙

In today’s society, the sacred feminine longs to be embodied. The world is in need of her qualities—intuition, compassion, receptivity, creativity, and deep presence—to bring balance to what is happening around us. Without these, we see the scales tip toward force, speed, and disconnection. The sacred feminine is the gentle yet powerful reminder that life is not only about striving and achieving, but also about listening, nurturing, and honoring the rhythms of the heart and the earth.

This is why Gopi has become so passionate about creating and holding women’s retreats. These retreats are sacred containers where we remember our wholeness, reclaim our voices, and awaken the wisdom already within us. Together, we plant seeds of resilience and beauty, water them with community and shared intention, and allow them to grow into offerings we can carry back into the world. In this way, our time together becomes not just a retreat, but a ripple of healing that extends far beyond ourselves.

📆 June 28 - July 5, 2026
Join Gopi & Shannon for a Women’s Yoga Retreat in Coastal Portugal �
Over seven nourishing days, we will weave together daily yoga, breathwork, sacred rituals, creative exploration, and reflective time in nature. Whether walking the nearby beaches at sunrise, gathering for sunset circles, or resting in silence under the stars, this retreat is your time—to reconnect, recharge, and rise into your essence.

Let Portugal’s wild beauty hold you. Let your spirit be stirred by the salt air. Let your body feel free, grounded, and alive again. 🌊

Beginning this weekend!
Energetics & Pranayama with Gopi 🪷

At the heart of every yoga practice is the breath—our link between body, mind, and spirit. In this 50-hour immersion, you’ll explore the breath as a powerful tool for transformation, using ancient pranayama techniques to regulate your nervous system, move emotional energy, and awaken your inner vitality.

This training is both practical and profound. You’ll learn breathwork techniques that support digestion, clear emotional blockages, calm anxiety, and expand lung capacity. We’ll study the relationship between breath and asana, introduce kriyas, explore breath adaptations for different bodies, and harness the healing potential of mantra and sound.

Whether you’re a yoga teacher, therapist, energy healer, or dedicated practitioner, this module will deepen your relationship with the subtle body and offer tools to integrate breath-based practices into classes, workshops, and daily life.

Topics include:
• The science and soul of deep belly breathing
• Ujjayi for grounding and vagal tone
• Breath thresholds and the subtle art of conscious breath retention
• Cleansing techniques like Bhastrika and Kapalabhati
• Nervous system balancing: segmentation of inhale and exhale
• Energizing flows like Breath of Joy
• Nadi Shodhana and alternate nostril practices for inner harmony
• Cooling pranayama and kriyas for inflammation and emotion
• Mantra and breath: how sacred sound empowers breathwork
• Emotional release through sound, breath, and movement

This module is a doorway into the energetics of healing and a call to awaken the breath as your most loyal and immediate teacher.

THANKSGIVING DAY PRACTICE 💕

Join Ethan on the mat Thursday morning at 9:30 for a Thanksgiving Day gratitude-focused yoga practice! We offer our annual Thanksgiving class by donation, and all money collected goes to a special cause.

Since we opened, BYDC has sponsored a girl named Muskan , who is a student at a wonderful school in Vrindavan, India that serves girls from very poor families, helping break generational cycles of poverty by giving girls the opportunities to pursue education and careers instead of marrying young. Muskan is now in high school and Gopi saw her on her latest visit.

It costs about $1000 annually for Muskan's tuition and for rent on the modest apartment she shares with one of her siblings. Help us raise this amount by coming to class and giving generously - and bringing visiting friends and family!

Join us for Pie in the Sky Kirtan with Ananda Murari Das - tomorrow night!

Join us for a special evening of kirtan with Ananda Murari das — songwriter, former monk, and devotional artist known for his deeply moving, heart-centered music.

Through soulful melodies and sacred mantra, Ananda Murari weaves together stories of devotion, vulnerability, and the beauty of faith. His grounded presence and luminous voice create a space for both reflection and release — where the heart opens and the spirit feels free to sing.

This evening gathering is part of our Kirtan Immersion Weekend, but is also open to the public as a standalone event. Whether you’re new to chanting or an experienced practitioner, come as you are and let the power of sacred sound carry you inward.
