"THE MAGIC OF CONNECTION"
Yoga, Horses & Healing
01.-05.05.2026 and 03.-07.06.2026
Take a very special chance
to enter a safe space of true connection with horses,
nature and your inner self.
ABOUT YOUR RETREAT
Yoga meets holistic horse communication – a unique retreat and off-grid adventure awaits you in the wild world of the Alentejo.
You’ll discover a mindful and healing path to connecting with horses and yourself.
The gentle expression of horses, the silent language of animal communication
and conscious body awareness intertwine with mindfulness practices and deep relaxation.
ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY
Horses, sun, self-care – take a wholesome break in Portugal!
You’ll spend five wonderful days in a glamping tent,
learn holistic horse communication,
hike with the free herd in the wild,
practice yoga on the beach,
enjoy soul food, and unwind – welcome to Malama!
The practice with the horses is a combination of observation, physical and intuitive connection with the horses and 1:1 interaction in your individual way. The time with the horses includes creating awareness about your and the horse’s comfort and safety zones, body language and invisible messages, which we are sending all the time and which influence a horse’s reaction to our presence. In a conscious horse encounter you can either just have a precious moment of connection with a horse, you can experience movement together or even receive answers to personal questions.
This retreat is not about riding or training a horse. It’s about entering the healing space of a herd and allowing the horses to touch your soul.

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATORS
SUSANNE CURTIL
I spent a lot of time with horses in my teenage years and early twenties, at that time in a very conservative and classical way, with riding lessons, competitions and all that goes along with it. Eventually most of it didn’t feel right any more. Instead of searching for new ways of being with horses, I shut myself off them. Only 20 years later, when our white mare Pandora came into our life, I realised, that the passion and love for those magical beings was still very strong, and that there was so much more to learn and experience with them.
So a completely new journey began, a way of healing the old, giving ourselves time to develop the NEW. After various special, touching moments of connection and trust between our visitors and our horses, we decided to give these magical moments of touch, transformation and healing more space by integrating them into our retreat program.
Self awareness is the first step towards a true connection with a horse. Yoga, Sound and conscious breath are a welcome company on that path.
I started teaching Yoga after my teacher’s training in 2011/ 2012 with Alexander Breunlich. At the same time I attended courses in Sound Healing with Dinah Arosa Marker, which made me discover how well Yoga and Sound go hand in hand. I naturally integrated simple sound healing techniques into my Yoga classes, and now integrate Yoga & Sound into the holistic work with our horses.
Daring to playfully approach physical, mental and emotional limits in mindful self-awareness and continuously expanding them, creates freedom, makes you happy and makes your whole life more relaxed, easier, more agile and more lively.
