Come Back to You
One Day Yoga Retreat
Colares, Sintra, Portugal
September 28th, 2025
A pause to breathe, move and feel better.
If you’ve been giving too much for too long, this retreat is for you. A day to move your body, breathe deeply, slow down and to come back to yourself — gently, with care.
You’ll go home feeling lighter, more present, and with simple tools you can use in your daily life.
Who is this for?
This day is for you if:
✨ You feel overwhelmed or tired
✨ You want to understand how to manage anxiety and stress
✨ You’re curious about yoga, breathing or meditation
✨ You want to reconnect with your body in a kind and simple way
✨ You want a day for you, away from pressure and distractions
No experience needed. No pressure to be or do anything. Just come as you are.
What you’ll learn and take home?
A calmer mind and a more relaxed body
A clear sense of what helps you feel better
New tools to manage stress and emotions
A gentle reconnection with your inner world
A feeling of “I’m here again. I remember who I am.”
And maybe… a smile that comes from inside
Come
Come as you are. Tired, stressed, confused — it's fine. You don’t need to fix anything. Just show up and breathe.
Back
Back to your body. To your breath. To the version of you that doesn’t need to be in control all the time.
To You
Not the you that performs. The true self - the one that’s always been there, just waiting for space.

✻ 30+ Retreats and Workshops
✻ 8+ Different Destinations
Cristina Dionísio
Retreat Host & Guide I Founder of Cristina Dionísio Yoga
After two decades in the corporate world, my body began saying what my heart had long known: this wasn’t the life I was meant to live. Burnout, pressure, anxiety — it all reached a breaking point. That’s when yoga became more than a practice for me. It became a path.
Not the performance-driven kind, but the kind that teaches you to stay when it’s hard, to breathe when everything feels too much, and to make choices that truly feel yours.
Since my mid-30s, I’ve been walking this path — through healing, reinvention, and the joy of living with purpose. And now, I share it with others through retreats, online programs, and weekly classes that bring together my biggest passions: yoga as a way of living, and my deep love for travel, nature, people, culture, and food.
My retreats aren’t escapes. They’re invitations. To pause, to breathe, and to start living in a way that reflects who you are becoming — journeys not just to beautiful places, but into presence, silence, and yourself.

With a background in Psychology, Thai Massage training (in Thailand), and ongoing studies in Somatic Experiencing, she brings a grounded and nurturing presence to each retreat.
She offers individual massages and group workshops in self-massage and lymphatic activation - creating space to pause, release tension, and connect with the body.

Sara offers structured and reliable support to businesses, combining clear communication with thoughtful client care and strong organizational skills.
Her role focuses on managing administrative tasks, handling client interactions with empathy and professionalism, and streamlining internal processes to ensure everything flows smoothly.

Social Media Manager
Rita Serra is a social media manager who tells stories through images, videos, and words.
With both an intuitive and strategic eye, she turns real experiences - like retreats and classes - into content that lives far beyond the moment. She captures what can’t be staged: the honesty of a smile, the stillness of a gesture, the connection between people.
Beyond capturing moments, Rita also plans, creates, and curates the digital presence of soulful brands and projects, ensuring that what’s lived in the real world is reflected clearly and consistently online.
