Brazil Yoga & Wellness Holidays

There are places that slow you down the moment you arrive. Bahia is one of them.

Tucked away on Brazil's wild northeastern coast, days revolve around tides, sunshine, yoga, swimming, naps, and figuring out whether it's too early for another coconut (spoiler alert: it usually isn't).

Our Brazil yoga and wellness holidays take us to the Maraú Peninsula and are totally built around that feeling. Barefoot mornings. Yoga hidden amongst tropical gardens. Warm sea swims, hammocks beneath the palms and days shaped by nature rather than schedules. Boat trips through island-strewn bays, quiet beaches and evenings beneath impossibly starry skies. This is Brazil without the rush. Warm, wild and wonderfully unbothered.

It was a real pleasure to know that you’re in safe and capable hands, with people who are genuinely and wholeheartedly dedicated to their work. I’ll definitely be returning to the retreats, and I wish you all the best.

All the details are taken care of and the locations are always amazing.  The instructors/hosts are so awesome too.  I just got back from Iceland, incredible!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, my experience with Reclaim Yourself Retreats in Jordan was unmatched. The food was incredible, the people were warm and welcoming, and every activity was thoughtfully planned. Honestly, it was perfect. Every detail was taken care of, so all I had to do was show up and soak it all in. If you've been thinking about Jordan, go with Reclaim. I can't recommend them enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came away from the yoga retreat in Jordan feeling genuinely grateful for the experience. I appreciated the warmth of the yoga teacher and the sense of community within the group.I found the retreat deeply rewarding. It gave me a chance to pause, breathe and experience Jordan in a very different way. Jools Sampson worked with some amazing local experts on the ground and the people were certainly one of the most memorable part of the retreat. I left having made some wonderful new friends and shared experiences that I will remember for a long time. Thank you Jools and James for having me.

Our second trip with Reclaim Yourself, and we’ve booked two more !  These retreats are exceptionally well run with an imaginative itinerary - our Jordan trip included stargazing, a ballon trip at sunrise and a desert camel rides.  Quality of accommodation is excellent, with the emphasis on responsible travel and heritage properties from havelis in India to desert pods in Wadi Rum.  Would highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reclaim's Mongolia Retreat was my first (a) Yoga Retreat and (b) Group Travel trip (& as a solo participant). Count myself lucky to be a Reclaim Alum & will be back for more!

Jools & team did an fantastic job balancing the travel, trip-experiences & yoga across two magnificant destinations. While each of the 10 days flew by, the pace remained unhurried and I was able to fully engage through all the activities. I really appreciated how the team fostered a warm & friendly environment across the small group, and it was a truly lovely communal experience. Major shout-out to Kelly for the menu & food as well - I am not a vegetarian, but did not miss meat at all over the trip!

Yoga with James was eye-opening as well, with the yurts providing a really grounding experience. We all received personal attention/modifications during the group classes that catered to varying levels of practice. Beyond the new poses & transitions, my foundation has really improved with his attention to micro-detail & expertise across breadth, movement & focus.

Grateful to have been a part of this trip & massive thank you to Jools & James for the experience.

10/10. Highly Recommended!

Yoga retreats in Brazil

Why choose Brazil for a yoga retreat?

This isn’t the easiest corner of the world to get to. Which is exactly why we go. The roads get bumpier. The signal dips. Big resorts disappear and give way to sleepy fishing villages, long stretches of untouched coastline and little pockets of life hidden amongst the palms. It still feels wonderfully under-the-radar here.

We’ve always believed the best retreats happen in places that shift your perspective a little. Places that feel genuinely different from everyday life. Bahia does that beautifully. Days are shaped by the tides, the weather and the natural rhythm of the coast. You spend more time outside, more time moving slowly and a lot less time looking at your phone.

Our Brazil Yoga Retreat

We take you to the Maraú Peninsula in Bahia, a quiet, unhurried stretch of coastline that most people never find. The week takes its shape from twice-daily yoga on a sheltered ocean deck, long walks along empty beaches, and afternoons that unfold entirely at your own pace.

Midweek, we explore Camamu Bay by boat, hopping between tiny tropical islands. Some are wild and untouched, others home to small fishing communities. And on the final evening, a live Capoeira performance from local artists and children closes out the week in style.

▸How do I get there?

▸Is Brazil safe to visit?

Brazil's cities have a side to them that's real and worth acknowledging, and we won't pretend otherwise. But the Maraú Peninsula is a world away from all of that.

Quiet, unhurried and genuinely off the tourist trail. We work with trusted local partners who know this corner of Bahia inside out, and we've brought guests here before. It's not somewhere we'd go if we weren't confident in it. The usual travel savviness applies though: don't flash valuables, be sensible about where you go after dark etc. But, in our experience, this is one of those places that very quickly stops feeling unfamiliar and starts feeling like somewhere you never want to leave.

▸When's the best time to travel to Brazil?

We travel to Brazil in February, which is peak summer in Bahia. Hot, humid and generally gloriously sunny. It's a tropical climate though, so expect the occasional dramatic downpour. They tend to be short, warm and oddly charming, and the sun usually returns before you've had time to find your umbrella. Even on a moody day, you're still in one of the most beautiful corners of Brazil. We'll take that over February at home any day.

▸What's Bahia like?

Bahia is one of those places that gets under your skin. It's Brazil's wild northeastern coast; a long, largely untouched stretch of coastline where the roads get bumpier the further you go, the beaches get emptier, and the pace of life is set by the tides rather than the clock.

It's also one of the most culturally rich states in Brazil, with a deep Afro-Brazilian identity that shapes everything from the food to the music to the way the days feel.

We've written a proper deep dive into Bahia if you want to get to know it before you go.

▸Do I need to be 'good' at yoga to come?

Not at all. Yoga’s for everybody, and every body. You don’t need to touch your toes, balance on your head, or even have a regular practice to join us.

Yes, there’s usually yoga every day, but we see it as so much more than asana (postures). It’s about how you connect: with yourself, with the world around you, and with each other. Definitely not about how your pose looks.

If you’re new to yoga, a couple of classes before you come might help you feel more at ease, but everything on retreat is designed to meet you exactly where you’re at.

And if you are a regular yogi, you’ll still be challenged and inspired. Our teachers are brilliant at reading the room, offering plenty of options and space to explore at your own pace.

You’ll usually practise twice a day: something strong and steady in the morning to wake you up, and something slower and grounding in the evening to let it all land.

We’re lucky to work with some of the most inspiring and respected teachers out there, from London to the US. Each brings their own flavour — vinyasa, restorative, meditation — but all share the same belief: yoga is for everyone. No ego. No competition. Just breath, movement, and space to be.

How we choose our 2027 retreats

People always ask how I find these places. Honestly? Instinct, a slight obsession with going somewhere different, and a lot of very good conversations over terrible airport coffee

What’s so good about solo travel?

Travelling solo can feel daunting — but it’s also one of the most freeing, transformative things you can do for yourself. Here’s why it’s worth saying yes.

Bahia is the Brazil many visitors never find. Wild beaches, deep Afro-Brazilian culture, and a coastline that gets under your skin. Here’s why it’s worth every bumpy kilometre
