Blue Energy
WOMEN’S YOGA & WELLBEING RETREAT
in Sardinia, Italy
26 April - 2 May 2026
Join us for this transformational and restorative week of yoga, mindfulness, culture, and Blue Zone-inspired living — surrounded by turquoise waters, ancient landscapes, and like-hearted women.
Escape to the luminous coastline of Sardinia for a week designed to restore your energy, nourish your body, and reconnect you with your inner wisdom. Sardinia is one of the world’s celebrated Blue Zones — places where people live longer, healthier, and more vibrant lives — and this retreat invites you to step inside that wisdom and live it fully.
Through yoga, breathwork, journaling, Mediterranean nourishment, and gentle outdoor exploration, you’ll reconnect with your vitality while enjoying the spacious rhythm of coastal living. Your home for the week is Porto Rafael, a peaceful seaside haven overlooking the turquoise waters of the Maddalena Archipelago in the north-eastern part of Sardinia.
This retreat is equal parts restorative escape and personal-growth experience, created for women seeking space, vibrancy, and a deeper sense of wellbeing. It is a week to reset your nervous system, open your heart, renew your energy, and return home feeling deeply restored.
