TOTAL BODY RESET: LUXURY FASTING & YOGRA RETREAT
11th OCTOBER – 18th OCTOBER 2026
Step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in nature, luxury, and deeply supportive guidance.
“At the heart of our retreats is the belief that your body holds the wisdom to balance itself. By listening to your intuition, you unlock the magic of transformation and become your own healer. I can’t wait to join you on this journey of rediscovery, where each moment brings growth, clarity, and empowerment”
Step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in nature, luxury, and deeply supportive guidance. Set on eight hectares of private forest, with mountain air, woodland paths, and a wild natural swimming creek, this intimate retreat provides the ideal environment for your body to reset, your mind to soften, and your energy to restore.
Fasting isn’t about deprivation — it creates space for your body’s innate intelligence to rise, for inflammation to settle, for clarity to return, and for your inner wisdom to shine. This is a rare opportunity to disconnect from the distractions of modern life and reconnect with your true self.
Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat was designed for women who want to step off the treadmill of everyday life and restore balance in mind, body, and spirit. If you’ve been feeling:
- Tired despite plenty of rest
- Mentally foggy or disconnected from your body
- Bloated, inflamed, or hormonally unsettled
- Overwhelmed and craving quiet
…then this retreat offers a gentle, structured, and supportive path to renewal.
A True Total Body Reset
Over the week, your digestive system rests, your nervous system recalibrates, and your energy stabilises. Through guided fasting, gentle yoga, breathwork, meditation, and Ayurvedic teachings, many women experience:
- Lighter digestion and reduced bloating
- Clearer thinking and sharper focus
- Deeper, more restorative sleep
- Renewed energy and emotional steadiness
- A renewed sense of trust in their body
During the retreat we follow the Buchinger fasting method, a gentle and widely practised therapeutic approach developed in Europe. Rather than a strict water-only fast, this method includes small amounts of fresh juices and nourishing vegetable broths each day. This makes the process more supportive and accessible — especially for those new to fasting — while still allowing the digestive system to rest and the body to shift into its natural repair and cleansing processes.
Combined with movement, rest, and time in nature, the body begins to rebalance itself.
Luxury Immersion in Nature
Our retreat is held at Quinta da Tojeira, a historic quinta in the heart of the Douro Valley, surrounded by eight hectares of private forest. It offers the perfect blend of wild nature, tranquillity, and understated luxury.
Relax in the sauna, hot tub, or indoor saltwater pool, or take a dip in the wild natural swimming creek. Wander along woodland paths, sit on quiet terraces with a book, or find private corners for reflection. Donkeys, chickens, and grazing cattle add to the charm, gently reminding you that slowing down is a perfectly natural rhythm.
Being surrounded by nature makes fasting easier. The fresh air, absence of distractions, and private space allow your body to restore, rebalance, and reconnect with its innate rhythms.
Guided Support Before, During & After
Your support begins before you arrive, with pre-retreat preparation calls to help your body transition gently into fasting. We’ll guide you through reducing caffeine, sugar, and heavy foods, and answer all your questions so you feel prepared and confident.
During the retreat, daily check-ins, masterclasses, and personal guidance ensure you feel safe, informed, and supported at every stage.
After the retreat, follow-up calls and practical cooking guides help you integrate what you’ve learned, so the benefits extend far beyond the week itself. This retreat is not a quick fix; it is the start of a more conscious, empowered relationship with your health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to commit to all 5 days of fasting?
No. There is absolutely no pressure to complete every day. With pre-retreat preparation, daily guidance, and one-on-one support, many women discover they are capable of more than they expected — but you progress only as far as feels right.
Do I need experience with fasting?
No. Many guests are first-time fasters. Guidance is provided before and during the retreat so you feel informed, safe, and confident.
Can I fast if I am on medication?
We provide a one-to-one consultation prior to the retreat to advise safely and responsibly. Your health and safety are our top priorities.
Do I need to be good at yoga?
Not at all. Practices are gentle and restorative, focused on nervous system regulation and personal restoration rather than performance.
Can I come alone?
Yes. Many women attend solo and form meaningful connections in the small group environment.
