Join Henry and Gertrud in the Algarve in Portugal for Yoga, Movement & Mobility, Animal Locomotion, Martial Arts, Calisthenics and lots of fun in splendid nature and on incredible beaches with a group of like-minded people.
Henry and Gertrud both studied and keep on training the wholesome collection of Mixed Movement Arts at Budokon University. Budokon means “the way of the warrior spirit” – both its complete movement practice as its philosophy aim to strive for balance between the warrior in us who wishes to fight and change things and the yogi in us who accepts what is. To know which one rules in a given situation is key.
Again, our special guest teacher Joao, or JoWAUWo as we call this very skilled and wholesome ostheopathic therapist, will give 2 hands-on workshops aimed to understand your individual anatomy and soft tissue makeup as well as how to adjust your movement according to your body.
Because we love to connect and share closely, this retreat is limited to 11 participants – so better be quick to sign up.
