Come Away With Us!

September 10th–17th

Villa Nova de Milfontes, Portugal

Ahhh Portugal.  

Have you been?  If the answer is yes, you're excited to get back, if the answer is no, certainly you've been wanting to go!  

Join Jessica Willis and Brian Peoples at Cocoon from September 10th–17th.  Mid-September is the ideal time to be in southern Portugal. The weather is deliciously warm, days are still lazy and long, and the water draws the sun's rays to heat it. There'll be day trips to explore the treasures of the Alentejo region and ample down time to enjoy the farm, fresh water lake, property and of course yoga.  

Jessica and Brian are highly trained and talented teachers pulling from a range of yogic traditions. You'll benefit from the playfulness of their toolkit with vinyasa, Katonah, Yin, Restorative, and you might even brush up on your Salsa dancing!  

Come away with us and build memories and relationships, that'll stay with you.
