The Program
Check-in is from 2pm, and the retreat begins with a welcome circle at 4pm.
You’ll have time to arrive, settle in, and land before we come together for a welcome practice and dinner on the first evening.
Each day begins with a open-level two-hour morning practice blending Vinyasa, Power Yoga, pranayama, meditation and a long Savasana.
After a generous brunch, the middle of the day is yours.
Rest, get a massage, read, take a walk, or simply do nothing. If you feel like exploring, there are beautiful vineyards and villages to discover around Cucumbi too.
There’s a nourishing afternoon snack, and later in the day we gather again for an afternoon practice, which may be Yin, restorative or an asana workshop depending on the day.
We then come together for dinner, with plenty of space to slow down and enjoy the evening.
This retreat takes place alongside our 50 Hour Vinyasa Teacher Training, so you’ll share the week and morning practices with a group of teachers. The teacher training has its own dedicated workshops and teaching sessions, while you have plenty of time and space to follow your own retreat experience.
On the final day, we close with a morning practice followed by brunch. Check-out is at 11am.
This retreat is taught by Lisa Andersson Rhodiner and Nazareno Grisolia, founders and lead teachers at Inspiro Yoga, with over a decade of experience and 100+ retreats and trainings led around the world since 2013.

Our Venue
CUCUMBI - AN OASIS of tranquility
Cucumbi is one of those places where, as soon as you arrive, your shoulders drop and a sense of calm washes over you. The energy here is truly special, something you’ll want to experience for yourself.
Cucumbi Farm is located in the tiny village of Barrancão in the Alentejo region, southeast of Lisbon, about 30 minutes inland from the coast and roughly a 1.5-hour drive from Lisbon.
The farm offers 10 beautifully minimalist rooms and apartments, each with its own ensuite bathroom. You’ll find double rooms with queen- or king-size beds, as well as twin rooms. Some rooms are located in spacious apartments with their own kitchen, fireplace and living room.
Beyond the beautifully designed rooms, Cucumbi features a large saltwater swimming pool, a spacious living room, a gorgeous communal kitchen with an honesty bar, a small shop and a stunning restaurant where our meals will be served.
The impressive 112-hectare farmland includes two trails (3–5 km) through breathtaking landscapes of rolling hills and around several lakes.
You can explore the property by bike, take a stand-up paddle board out on the water or enjoy a peaceful canoe ride on the lake.
We know you’ll fall in love with Cucumbi — it’s as simple as that. The only downside? You might not want to leave.
HOW TO GET HERE
Whether you’re travelling from Lisbon city centre or the airport, the easiest way to reach Cucumbi is by Uber or Bolt (usually around €60–70) or by renting a car. The journey takes approximately 1–1.5 hours. We’re more than happy to connect you with others to share the ride and split the cost.
