"What I love most about Tori’s yoga retreats is the ease in travel, well thought out plans every day, the accommodations are always nice and comfy, and lastly the people. I can not say enough about the yoga family that bonds together on these trips. Everyone looks out for one another, supports, protects, encourages, and laughs together.
After returning from our last retreat in Costa Rica I’ve already lost 10+ lbs and counting. I am more mindful. I’m still a work in progress, but I’m becoming the woman I want to be in life. I’m taking care of myself so I can care for my family. On the retreats, healthy foods are provided. I see how my body works better after eating so clean. I have a new found confidence that I’m stronger than I thought, too.
I have gone on the past 3 retreats with Tori. I can not express enough how wonderful they are."

"One of my favorite things about Tori's retreats is that I have always had the opportunity for new experiences. Sometimes its new food, sometimes its an ice bath, or a hike in a beautiful place that I have never seen before. There is always yoga with incredible break throughs! The camaraderie of the Meet Me on Your Mat Community has always lifted me to new places in my practice.
I am always reinvigorated after coming back from a retreat. Each of the three retreats I have been on have brought me to different changes afterwards. The first retreat I attended opened me up to eating vegetarian meals. The second one introduced me to hiking; something I never thought I would do. The last retreat in Costa Rica led me to believe that I can Handstand!
I would highly recommend going on a retreat with Tori & the MMOYM Community. They are well organized, safe and welcoming. There are all levels and ages of yogis on retreat, so wherever you are at in your yoga journey, you will be welcomed and supported."
The experience:
Day One: On April 20th, 2025 you and the rest of the attendees of this retreat will be met at the airport by our guide and personal shuttle.
From there, we will be transferred to the Cascade Wellness Resort clifftop location in Algarve, right off the ocean.
You will have some time to explore your new yoga home for the week before we meet for a welcome dinner.
Day Two: We begin the day with an invigorating yoga class overlooking the Mediterranean followed by a leisurely breakfast.
From there we will hike the famous Fisherman's Trail, passing through deserted beaches and hidden corners en route to Burgau Village.
We will then lunch at a local restaurant before returning to the hotel.
The rest of the day will be spent at leisure, or we may take on a second yoga class. TBD.
Day Three: We begin the day with a Stand Up Paddle Boarding adventure, experiencing the caves right off the beach from a unique perspective.
With lunch at a local restaurant, we will return to the hotel to enjoy some free time before an evening yoga class.
Day Four: We begin the day with an invigorating yoga class and a leisurely breakfast.
Afterwards, we will head to the green heartland and highest point of Algarve, Fóia's peak, Monchique Mountain, where we will take in the views of the west and south coasts.
En route, we will make a stop at the Caldas de Monchique, an amazing thermal spa area used since the Roman times which they considered to be “sacred” and cured rheumatism and respiratory problems. You will have some time to explore and relax here this afternoon.
We’ll make a quick stop in the village. Perhaps you’ll try a shot of "Medronho," a firewater made with the fruit of the arbutus tree or take some time to peruse the local craft and pottery shops before gathering for lunch.
Return to the hotel for an evening at leisure.
Day Five: We begin the day with a yoga session followed by breakfast.
Afterwards, we will embark on a unique sailing experience in the Bay of Lagos.
Explore some of the most impressive caves and rock formations in Southern Portugal. After experiencing this beauty of nature from afar, we will anchor in a sheltered bay where the crew will prepare and serve lunch. Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit to jump into the water for a swim. After lunch, we will continue our journey and show you the famous caves of “Ponta da Piedade” on a smaller boat.
Eventually we will raise the sails again and make our way back up the coast. Feel the magic of sailing, while you relax, sip a cocktail, and enjoy the sun, sea, and breathtaking view.
Day Six: After your morning yoga class and breakfast, you have a full day at leisure to explore and enjoy your surroundings.
Day Seven: Following a morning yoga class and breakfast at the hotel, you will head to one of the liveliest towns in the area where you will have free time to walk around and visit the castle and Loulé Market*.
The picturesque market full of fruits and vegetables also offers a variety of crafts. Nowadays, we still find artisans who produce leather articles, delicate works, and beautiful pottery.
Later, over lunch, discover the culture of the Portuguese “pesticos,” small plates made to taste, appreciate and share.
Day Eight: Today we will have our last yoga class together before leaving Algarve.
Enjoy one last breakfast at the hotel before departing for the airport.
PLEASE NOTE: This itinerary may shift as we get closer to our arrival date when it comes to the timing of certain activities. You will be notified in advance of all itinerary changes.

"I love Tori's retreats! From the fun, supportive environment; the amazing venues and excursion/activity options; wonderful people; and the unparalleled, creative class instruction!
When I return home, I have more confidence in my yoga skills and am more willing to attempt difficult poses, even if I have struggled with them in the past.
It's also nice to stay in touch with fellow retreat attendees and know we have bonded forever."

"I love the MMOYM Retreats with Tori because it really is “me” time. It is my self care to go away… be disconnected (for the most part) from real life and focus on taking care of myself!
After each retreat I take home peace and patience. The world just seems a little easier.
I would 1000% recommend a MMOYM retreat. Tori really plans these not only for the yoga practice, but it’s really an experience. It's an opportunity to get to learn so much about yourself. And, the connections made with this yoga community are so beautiful and inspiring."

"With each of Tori's retreats, I know I will get to share an amazing travel experience with my wonderful yoga family and meet awesome new friends. I can count on enjoying the wonderful food and unique experiences that our destination has to offer without the stress of having to plan it all myself.
Would I recommend you join us on retreat? YES!!! I haven't missed one yet, because I look forward to the connection I feel with my yoga family during each experience. No matter how I feel and what is going on in my life before the retreat, I feel deeply cared for and revitalized during and after our trip."
