Barre & Bliss : Portugal
With Alison McLaughlin and Noelle Croner
May 26 - 31, 2026
Barre & Bliss: Portugal Edition is where sweat meets soul. Imagine energizing barre sessions that make your muscles sing, flowing vinyasa that awakens your spirit, dreamy yin that melts away the stress, and grounding breathwork that leaves you floating. This retreat is more than movement—it’s laughter that makes your cheeks hurt, sunshine that fills your cup, and a community of like-minded souls who feel like instant family. As the Portuguese saying goes, “Tudo vale a pena quando a alma não é pequena.” Everything is worthwhile when the soul is not small—and here, your soul has all the space to expand.
Together, we’ll reset, recharge, and rediscover joy in one of Europe’s most magical destinations. From heart-opening cacao ceremonies to breathtaking hikes, each experience is carefully crafted to ignite clarity, connection, and pure bliss. Whether you’re a barre babe, a yoga lover, or simply seeking renewal, this is your invitation to move, laugh, and let go. Because “When women gather, magic happens.”
