“Island of Eternal Spring" and is officially known by its motto: "Of all islands, the most beautiful and free.”

Discover Madeira with Joanna.

Prepare yourself for something entirely extraordinary on this 8-day luxury wellness retreat to one of the Atlantic's most breathtaking secrets. Madeira, Portugal — a Portuguese archipelago rising dramatically from the North Atlantic — is a place of dense verdant forests, volcanic mountains, flower gardens bursting with color, and coastline that seems to go on forever. This March 2027, Joanna Brown brings her signature blend of slow flow yoga, mindful movement, and deep presence to an island that embodies everything we believe in: beauty that takes your breath away, nature that restores your soul, and a pace of life that reminds you why you came.

RETREAT TESTIMONIAL • MK, CA

“"Joanna creates space where healing feels effortless and movement becomes medicine. She meets you exactly where you are and gently shows you what's possible.❤”

A group of diverse women standing in a line with arms around each other's shoulders, facing away outdoors during the daytime, under a blue sky with some clouds.

Every day is something new.

Each morning begins with a grounding yoga practice before the day unfolds into adventure — a sunset walk along a Levada canal, a private catamaran along dramatic sea cliffs, a jeep ride through volcanic valleys to a farm-to-table lunch in the mountains, an e-bike tour through the island's captivating interior. Evenings bring the group together for local meals and the kind of easy, unhurried connection that only happens when you're somewhere this beautiful.

This is Healthy Hedonism, Madeira style — the perfect combination of cultural immersion, outdoor adventure, and genuine wellness. All in one stunning hotel, with the details handled and the only decision left being how fully you want to show up.

Your Home in Madeira — Sentido Galosol Hotel

Perched above the sea on Madeira's sun-drenched southern coast, the Sentido Galosol Hotel is the kind of place that makes you exhale the moment you arrive. Sea view rooms open onto panoramic Atlantic vistas — the kind you never quite get used to, no matter how many mornings you wake up to them. The hotel's setting provides the perfect base for everything this retreat offers: a comfortable, welcoming home between adventures, with the spa, pool, and private beach there whenever you need to simply rest and be. Breakfast and dinners are served on this stunning property, and the surrounding area offers easy access to Madeira's natural wonders and local culture.

Your Guide Through It All — Joanna Brown.

Meet Joanna Brown, a Physical Therapist, Meditation Teacher, and Yoga Instructor with decades of experience in practices that promote Mind, Body, and Spirit integration for ultimate healing. She completed her Yoga Teacher Training with Lisa Willett in 2013 and has since earned certifications in Trauma-Informed Yoga, Yoga for Healthy Aging, and Yoga for Osteoporosis.

Enjoy a poetic slow flow yoga sequence that incorporates traditional Hatha yoga asana, Pranayama practices, Mudras, and Chakra clearing to activate the subtle body. She offers modifications and amplifications to create an inclusive, welcoming practice for all experience levels — whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just beginning your journey. Joanna has led Euphoria Retreats in Greece and Costa Rica, and her guests describe her classes as deeply healing, grounding, and full of warmth. When she's not on the mat, you'll find her hiking, swimming, or adventuring. Madeira, with its dramatic trails and shimmering Atlantic light, feels like it was made for her.
