BREATH & BEYOND

A 5-day immersion to reclaim the power of your breath and expand your consciousness.

March 26 - 30, 2025
Alentejo, Portugal

Welcome to your new beginning.

It's time to unwind and take a deep breath.

The pressures of everyday life – from personal conflicts to global crises – and the various demands of the fast-paced world we live in mean that stress, anxiety and emotional instability become frequent companions.

Breath & Beyond is an invitation to take a break from the daily hustle and bustle, recharge your energy and reconnect with your true self. 

Embark on a renewing journey of self-discovery designed to gently welcome your current state and allow you to navigate the human experience with more vitality and joy. 

In the alchemy of your breath – the invisible thread that connects you to the life force of the universe – lies the power to take your life to new heights, release what no longer serves you and embrace new possibilities for a more peaceful, confident and happy you.

At Breath & Beyond you will...

Access an inexhaustible source of energy

Express and release pent-up emotions 

Boost your self-steem and cultivate self-love

Reduce anxiety and relieve depressive states

Cut out distractions and connect with our human essence

 

Build connections that go far beyond the retreat

The way we breathe directly influences how we feel. Breath techniques have bridged our conscious and subconscious worlds for centuries, serving as precious tools for the expansion of human consciousness around the world.

Why Breathwork?

We can live for weeks without food and days without water, but only a few minutes without air – and yet we tend to pay more attention to our diet than our breath.

Often overlooked, the way we breathe is the most simple and natural way to restore balance, essential for our health, happiness and overall well-being.

If you want to access more energy, release pent-up emotions, calm a restless mind or simply find more peace in your life, you’re in the right place.

Breathwork is a powerful, scientifically proven tool that acts on all dimensions of your being. And it’s right there, under your nose, just waiting to be explored. 

Ancient wisdom for the modern world

Breath & Beyond combines ancient breathing practices, used since time immemorial by cultures worldwide in yogic, shamanic and meditative practices, with contemporary breathwork methods.

Today, science confirms the benefits of breathwork that ancient traditions have understood for millennia: enhancing oxygen flow; balancing the nervous system; releasing tensions, trauma and emotions; facilitating expanded states of awareness among others!

Along with breathwork, you will also experience the power of sound and music, bioenergetic practices, movement, and meditation.

During these days, you’ll find the space to unwind, connect with nature, tap into your inner wisdom, and share precious moments with others.

“If you want to get to know yourself, to face your fears, to meet extraordinary people - like you - and to overcome the limits that society imposes on you, you don't need to go to India or to the Amazon Jungle looking for otherworldly experiences. Here in Portugal, you have what you are looking for!”

The Injoy Method

We base our method on three fundamental pillars: breath, movement, and sound. Each of these elements is revitalizing alone. When combined, they act as profound catalysts for the vital transformation and rejuvenation of your being.

Breath

We use the best breathwork techniques out there to charge your body with life force and recalibrate your nervous system. 

Movement

Movement unblocks your flow of vital energy, releases accumulated tension and helps to calm your mind.

Sound

Music, sound and voice promote the full expression of your being and uncover deep states within you.

A holistic approach to health and well-being

With over 30 years of combined experience, we have collected and mastered precious teachings from around the world to offer you what we believe to be the most powerful practices for a true inner revolution. 

The Injoy Method acts on the four essential dimensions of your being – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual – allowing you to reconnect with your self and providing you with an integral sense of well-being. 

Physical

Relieve tension, increase your vital energy, improve your health and somatic awareness 

 

Mental

Let go of limiting beliefs, bring clarity to your life and experience deep meditative states

 

Emotional

Release emotional baggage, reclaim your authenticity and freedom of expression

 

Spiritual

Access expansive states of consciousness, receive profound insights and connect with your inner wisdom
