Retreat Weeks: November 14 - 20, November 21 - 27

Along Brazil’s northeast coast, this retreat unfolds through the rhythm of 4Beat Yoga – a dynamic practice where breath, movement, and music align in a four-count flow. Led by Luiz Madalena, each day balances energising yoga and inversion workshops with restorative practices and breathwork, offering space to settle into a deeply embodied state of presence. Time between practices reflects the ease of bohemian coastal life with ocean swims, beach walks at sunset, and optional kitesurfing, horse riding, or treatments.

The Destination

Set in Ilha do Guajiru, on Brazil’s northeast coast near Itarema, the retreat takes place at a nature-led boutique hotel immersed in lush gardens and native vegetation. Positioned directly by a surfing beach within a private 8,000 m² area, the setting is shaped by steady coastal breezes and warm, shallow waters, long appreciated by the local kitesurfing community. This stretch of Ceará’s coastline remains largely undeveloped, known for its simple rhythm of life rooted in fishing villages and the natural landscape.

The Retreat Host

Originally from Brazil and now based in London, Luiz Madalena is a yoga teacher and holistic coach known for his high-energy classes that blend strength, rhythm, and release.

Trained in the 4Beat method under its founder Marcus Veda, he’s part of the movement transforming London’s yoga scene — where breath, movement, and music flow in a four-count rhythm that feels both electric and mindful. His sessions balance powerful dynamic practice with restorative stillness, creating space to build strength and explore inversions, while having fun with flow and music.

Accommodation

This boutique, nature-led hotel offers just 12 en-suite rooms, tucked into lush gardens of native Brazilian plants and only a few steps from the beach. Designed for relaxed coastal living, the rooms combine comfort with an understated style – some featuring private ionised-water plunge pools, others positioned close to the hotel’s pool and sun-lounger deck. Hammocks on the terraces invite slow mornings and shaded afternoons, while the easy flow between gardens, pool, and sea makes it natural to spend the day outdoors, moving gently between rest and beach time.

Style: Earthly Simplicity
