Retreat Experience

"If there were Oscars for the best yoga retreat, then this one would win them all. I attended a retreat with Happiness Safari in May in Portugal, and it offered an experience that was both rejuvenating and transformative, leaving me with memories that will last a lifetime. I was absolutely blown away."

Ludovic V

"Nadine is a true inspiration and a motivator that has mastered the art of cultivating the tools to reach the best possible version of yourself. With great empathy and positivity Nadine not only actively listens to her clients but also shows them how to discover their true self and find their happiness."

Johanna A

"It was a dream, I had my best vacation here. It was so relaxing, met great new people and Nadine made everything just perfect. I'm already looking forward to the next yoga retreat ❤️❤️❤️❤️"

✨ Sometimes your body remembers what your mind has

✨ Sometimes your body remembers what your mind has forgotten.

This is what I love most about retreats — you step away from your everyday life, give yourself the time and space to reconnect, and something starts to shift.

Don’t just take my word for it. 🤍

Listen to what one of our retreat guests experienced for herself.

Maybe it’s time to give yourself that space too. 🌿

✨ Our next Happiness Safari retreats are coming up soon in Portugal, Sweden, Costa Rica & Kenya.

If you feel the call, send me a DM or comment RETREAT and I’ll send you all the details. 💛

Kenya 2027 is officially happening. 🌍🧡

And I could not think of a more beautiful way to announce it than with these words from someone who has already experienced a Happiness Safari retreat firsthand. 🙏

“Nadine lives in Kenya three months out of the year — so it’ll be awesome. Spiritually I love her and it’ll be cool to be in a country with somebody that knows and loves it.

That’s what I love about your retreats. They are Bikram Bikram Bikram — which I love — wrapped in a spiritual warmth and love. The yoga and mindfulness aspects are going to be awesome based on my experience in Thailand. I can’t even imagine how awesome Kenya will be, especially being there with someone who loves it as much as you.” 🙏❤️
This one is going to be something truly special. 🌿

Kenya has my whole heart — the people, the wildlife, the energy, the magic. I have been spending months there every year and every time it changes me a little more. I cannot wait to share it with you.

DEAD BODY POSE — Shavasana 🌿 Shavasana is not a b

DEAD BODY POSE — Shavasana 🌿

Shavasana is not a break, it’s a posture.

Here are the key benefits:

✨ Deep Relaxation — Allows the body and mind to fully rest and recover

✨ Nervous System Support — Helps reduce stress and promotes a sense of calm

✨ Recovery & Rejuvenation — Encourages the body to absorb the benefits of the practice

✨ Improved Circulation — Supports healthy blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body

✨ Mental Clarity — Helps quiet the mind and improve focus

✨ Energy Restoration — Leaves you feeling refreshed, balanced, and recharged

Shavasana reminds us that rest is just as important as effort. By consciously relaxing the body, we create space for healing, recovery, and renewal. This is the so-called gas station in the series – or the place where we gain more energy.

What if the best way to welcome a new year wasn’t

What if the best way to welcome a new year wasn’t louder... but calmer? 🌿

Most New Year’s Eve celebrations leave us exhausted the next morning.

This one leaves you feeling alive.

Before the music, before the celebration, we gather for one final Savasana of the year.

A few quiet moments to reflect on everything you’re leaving behind.

To breathe.
To let go.
To create space for what’s next.

Then we celebrate—under the Costa Rican stars, surrounded by incredible people, laughter, great food, and unforgettable memories.

Because the best parties don’t just give you a fun night.

They give you a fresh start. ✨

If you’re craving a New Year’s that actually changes how you begin the year, we’d love to welcome you.

Thanks @ra.content_ for capturing these moments.

This group was really something special. All these wonderful women — so much bonding, so much laughter, so much fun. 🌿

But what you don’t see in the pictures is all the real work happening behind the scenes. The breathwork. The letting go. The surrendering. The trusting. Three of them stepping onto a Bikram mat for the very first time. Many jumping into an ice bath for the first time. All of them being incredibly brave, stepping way outside their comfort zone — and being completely rewarded with joy, happiness, love, and the most beautiful human connection. 🧡

That is what Happiness Safari is really about. 🙏

TREE POSE — Tadasana 🌿

Here are the key benefits of this grounding posture:

✨ Balance & Stability — Improves coordination and develops better body awareness

✨ Hip Flexibility — Opens the hips, knees, and ankles while increasing mobility

✨ Joint Health — Helps lubricate the hip, knee, and ankle joints, supporting long-term mobility

✨ Lower Body Strength — Strengthens the legs, feet, and core muscles

✨ Mental Focus — Encourages concentration, patience, and inner calm

✨ Posture & Alignment — Promotes proper alignment and improves overall posture

Tree Pose teaches us to find steadiness and balance while staying calm and focused. As the body becomes more stable, the mind often follows, creating a sense of grounding and inner peace.

Our retreat ended today 🤍 In our closing ceremony

Our retreat ended today 🤍

In our closing ceremony everyone shared what they will implement in their lives once they get back home — and the common theme in this group was to slow down and to enjoy the present moment.

And I realised that is something we forget in our day to day lives. So here is just a reminder — don’t postpone your happiness and find it in the little things. 🙏🌿

I also wanted to give a big thank you to Heidi from @hotlotusuk & @yoga_nuts, my amazing chef @analourenco.pt, @healing.hill.portugal for the wonderful sound healing, my therapists @daniellamassages and @anama.sofia and the beautiful @moodz.spa.resort — because without all these wonderful people I could not have made this retreat happen. 🧡

Trust us... we have seen it all. 😂

But here’s the secret:
We’d much rather have you show up imperfectly than not show up at all. ❤️

So... be honest.

The Algarve is calling. 🌊🌿 You know that feeling

The Algarve is calling. 🌊🌿

You know that feeling when you finally exhale — really exhale — and realise how long you have been holding your breath?
That is what happens at a Happiness Safari retreat.
You arrive carrying whatever life has been throwing at you. The stress, the noise, the endless to-do list. And somewhere between the first Bikram class, the long dinners, the deep conversations, and the stillness of the Algarve mornings — something shifts. 🧡
You feel lighter. Stronger. More yourself than you have felt in a long time.
You leave with a fuller heart, a clearer mind, and connections with people from all over the world who somehow feel like family. 🌍

With the FIFA World Cup Championship excitement in full swing, I thought I’d hand out a few red cards of our own.

🚩 Thinking you’re not good enough.
🚩 Believing self-care can wait.

This season, give yourself the only card that really matters...

🟢 The green card to choose yourself.

All of them being incredibly brave, stepping way outside their comfort zone — and being completely rewarded with joy, happiness, love, and the most beautiful human connection. 🧡

That is what Happiness Safari is really about. 🙏

TREE POSE — Tadasana 🌿 Here are the key benefits

TREE POSE — Tadasana 🌿

Here are the key benefits of this grounding posture:

✨ Balance & Stability — Improves coordination and develops better body awareness

✨ Hip Flexibility — Opens the hips, knees, and ankles while increasing mobility

✨ Joint Health — Helps lubricate the hip, knee, and ankle joints, supporting long-term mobility

✨ Lower Body Strength — Strengthens the legs, feet, and core muscles

✨ Mental Focus — Encourages concentration, patience, and inner calm

✨ Posture & Alignment — Promotes proper alignment and improves overall posture

Tree Pose teaches us to find steadiness and balance while staying calm and focused. As the body becomes more stable, the mind often follows, creating a sense of grounding and inner peace.

Our retreat ended today 🤍 In our closing ceremony

Our retreat ended today 🤍

In our closing ceremony everyone shared what they will implement in their lives once they get back home — and the common theme in this group was to slow down and to enjoy the present moment.

And I realised that is something we forget in our day to day lives. So here is just a reminder — don’t postpone your happiness and find it in the little things. 🙏🌿

I also wanted to give a big thank you to Heidi from @hotlotusuk & @yoga_nuts, my amazing chef @analourenco.pt, @healing.hill.portugal for the wonderful sound healing, my therapists @daniellamassages and @anama.sofia and the beautiful @moodz.spa.resort — because without all these wonderful people I could not have made this retreat happen. 🧡

👀 Things Bikram teachers secretly notice… and ye

👀 Things Bikram teachers secretly notice... and yes, we still love you for it. 🤭🔥

From the „One More Sip“ student 💧
to the „Escape Artist“ 🚪,
the „Savasana Sleeper“ 😴,
or the one who somehow invents an entirely new posture... 🤷‍♀️

Trust us... we have seen it all. 😂

But here’s the secret:
We’d much rather have you show up imperfectly than not show up at all. ❤️

So... be honest.

👇 Which one are YOU?
😴 Savasana Sleeper
💧 One More Sip
🪞 Mirror Checker
🚪 Escape Artist
🌡️ Weather Reporter
🍎 Snack Break
🤸 Freestyle Yogi
🧘 Secret Stretcher

No judgment... we’ve probably been that student too. 😅

The Algarve is calling. 🌊🌿 You know that feeling

The Algarve is calling. 🌊🌿

You know that feeling when you finally exhale — really exhale — and realise how long you have been holding your breath?
That is what happens at a Happiness Safari retreat.
You arrive carrying whatever life has been throwing at you. The stress, the noise, the endless to-do list. And somewhere between the first Bikram class, the long dinners, the deep conversations, and the stillness of the Algarve mornings — something shifts. 🧡
You feel lighter. Stronger. More yourself than you have felt in a long time.
You leave with a fuller heart, a clearer mind, and connections with people from all over the world who somehow feel like family. 🌍

Red cards aren’t just for football... 😉⚽🔴

With the FIFA World Cup Championship excitement in full swing, I thought I’d hand out a few red cards of our own.

🚩 Waiting for the „perfect time.“
🚩 Thinking you’re not good enough.
🚩 Believing self-care can wait.

This season, give yourself the only card that really matters...

🟢 The green card to choose yourself.

Your next adventure is one decision away.
