We believe Yoga Retreats go beyond the physical practice of yoga in a different location. It’s about the adventure of life and self-awareness. Traveling to new places opens us up to experiences and cultures we’d never encounter at home. Uncover new facets of ourselves! We may be amazed by life’s possibilities beyond work, family, and routine. Explore what’s out there and within.
Be ready to flow, explore, and awaken every sense. A yoga retreat invites you to step outside the ordinary - to adventure through nature, expand your practice, and rediscover your inner strength.
Return home renewed by nature, grounded in your practice, and inspired by the journey - carrying incredible stories, and a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you.

We’re united by two things we love deeply:
yoga and travel.
Andrea Palma is my longtime friend and yoga partner in Brazil — we’ve traveled, hiked, taught, practiced, laughed, cried, celebrated, meditated, and worked side by side for so many years.
Laura Garcia is my grounding force in the U.S., my right and left hand, my friend, and our lead teacher. We share values, hopes, and dreams, and together we hosted YogaSix’s first international yoga retreat in Panama in 2024.
Bringing these two incredible Geminis together for this retreat feels like magic — and I couldn’t be more excited.
Your NEXT Yoga Adventure
Yoga Retreat & Destination Experience 2026
In June 2026 we are going to a very unique place on earth! Barrinhas is a community on the coast of Piauí, Brazil, and it is known for being a tranquil place, with a beach of warm waters and natural atmosphere. The region is a popular base for those seeking a peaceful retreat, enjoying one of a kind nature and the local culture.
Barra Grande, PI
This region, beyond its natural beauty, is also home to a Manatee Sanctuary; the Parnaíba Delta (the largest river delta in the Americas), with mangroves, river islands, dunes, and creeks; the Seahorse Route; Sea turtles (all five Brazilian species nest along this coastline); and the Lençóis Piauienses, where quad biking leads you to natural pools of crystal-clear water.
Save the Date!
Enjoy an 8-day, 7-night retreat from June 11–18, 2026. Your journey begins with a shuttle pick-up at Jericoacoara Airport around lunchtime on Thursday, 06/11, followed by a scenic 2.5-hour drive to Barrinha. On the morning of 06/18, we’ll depart from our accommodations and return to the same airport. We recommend planning your flights with an extra day on each end to allow for comfortable travel time.
Traveling to Brazil
Make sure to have your passport ready (with an expiration date over 6 months after Jun 2026) and apply for your visa as soon as possible (we can provide you detailed information, if needed).
Exchange your money to Brazilian Reais. The exchange rate favors early exchange. Although credit cards are accepted on most places, having some cash may be very handy. Check international fees with your bank / credit card carrier.
We got you!
We can also help you, if you are looking to stop at another Brazilian city for a day or two, wish to stay longer in Barra Grande or need assistance with your flight or visa. Do not hesitate to contact us for any further assistance.
