Detox, Yoga & Pilates Retreat (4 days)

A 4- or 6-day retreat in the beautiful, historic city of Porto, designed for purification and detox of both body and mind through fasting, detox juices, yoga, and meditation.

Periodic detox and intermittent fasting practices can support the body’s natural cleansing processes, helping stimulate cell repair, eliminate toxins and oxidants, strengthen the immune system, and enhance overall health and well-being. They may also encourage greater serenity and self-satisfaction.

The workshops, based on our Superpowers Method, are created to help you build or deepen the knowledge and habits needed for a healthier lifestyle, with more energy, vitality, and peace of mind.

This retreat includes 4 days of liquid fasting, combining flavored water with detox vegetable and fruit juices, alongside yoga and meditation practices.

You may choose a residential option or stay in a hotel near OM Academy & Mind Spa, with the opportunity to explore Porto’s cultural and natural highlights. We can help you plan your itinerary, including walks in the gardens of Serralves and the beaches of Foz do Douro, concerts at Casa da Musica, and visits to the Botanical Gardens, Ribeira, and the historic center.
