"One of the best experiences of my life." "This trip far exceeded my expectations." "The balance of yoga, adventure and reflection was perfect." "A retreat for the soul."

I designed this retreat for people who love yoga, meaningful travel, nature, and genuine connection.

We'll spend seven days exploring one of Brazil's most beautiful coastlines through yoga, adventure, incredible food, and plenty of time to simply enjoy where we are.

I grew up here, and sharing this little corner of the world with people is one of my greatest joys. Every retreat makes me fall in love with this country all over again, and I know you will too!

our home for the week

Nestled between the Atlantic Rainforest, the Itamambuca River, and the Atlantic Ocean, Moksha feels worlds away from the rush of everyday life.

It doesn't take long before it starts feeling like home.

Designed for rest, connection, and simplicity, the soundtrack is birds singing and the river flowing nearby. And before you know it, you've completely lost track of what day of the week it is.

the practices

Each day begins and ends with yoga.

Our morning vinyasa practices are designed to energize and prepare you for the day ahead, while the evenings invite you to slow down through restorative/yin yoga. You can also expect meditation, breathwork, chanting, and journaling sprinkled throughout.

All practices are for practitioners of all levels.

the adventures

After breakfast, we head out to explore!

Each day something new: hiking to a waterfall, kayaking & birdwatching along the river, surf class for beginners, boat ride along the most beautiful islands around Ubatuba.
