A Yoga break
26-10-2025
From October 10 to 12, 2025, Bhavantu Yoga offered an immersion in Rio de Janeiro, inviting participants to experience yoga in harmony with nature. For three days, between the breathing ocean and the watching mountains, the aim was to settle down, slow down, and rediscover a gentler inner rhythm. Yoga practices, walks, and moments of contemplation were designed to awaken presence, rebalance energy, and rediscover a deep, shared, and sensitive sense of well-being. Bhavantu means in Sanskrit: may all be happy, may all be at peace. This philosophy permeated the entire experience. Yoga and meditation were interspersed with moments of silence, spontaneous discussions, laughter, and rest.
The setting was the Cidade Maravilhosa itself. Between the beaches of São Conrado and the sunrise at Arpoador, we practiced outdoors, contemplated, and let ourselves be swept away by the landscape. The morning light on the sea, the sounds of the forest, and the softness of the evening gave the experience an almost poetic dimension. Accommodation is at Casa São Conrado, a welcoming house surrounded by greenery, with the scent of the coast drifting into the rooms. Here, you will find calm, simplicity, and conviviality. You eat healthily, rest, and share the same roof without losing your personal space. Everything has been designed so that everyone can feel supported and free at the same time.
