More about Algarve, Portugal
The ultimate high summer destination, our dreamy Portimão escape. Think where minimalist chic meets traditional Algarve soul, with traditional rooms and soft, sun-drenched vibes. Flow through yoga in the wild salt air, surrounded by untouched nature and golden beach landscapes. Ideal to work remotely in a small international group.
At Praia dos Três Castelos the rocks are not merely stones, they are sentinels of a time that the sea tries, in vain, to erase, there the three castles rise from the foam as if waiting for the return of kings who never departed, it is a dialogue of silences between the ochre cliffs and the blue that bathes everything
You walk these shores and understand that time is not a line, but a circle of salt and warmth. It is a place where the heart, tired of the world’s noise, finally finds the silence necessary to hear its own beat. Truly, a grace.
Meet our teachers
Demetrius
History is not a straight line, and neither is the journey of the body. Demetrius Marinho’s path to founding Sanctuary Yoga Wellness in Venice is an experiment in what humans do best: the creative blending of cultures. From his origins in Brazil to the Himalayan teachings of Masters Ananda and Gaurav, Demetrius has spent a decade tracing the roots of an ancient practice to see how it might plant itself in new soil.
Too often, we are told that "tradition" is a frozen relic. But through his studies at the University of Yoga in Rishikesh and his work with Yog Rimaa Goyal, Demetrius treats yoga as a living dialogue. By connecting Indian foundations with his current European studies, he is actively dismantling the boundaries between "East" and "West."
His project in Venice is not just a studio; it is a "Sanctuary" built on the principle of Union. It is a rejection of the modern silo and a return to a more expansive human history—where we are free to move, breathe, and bridge worlds to find balance in the present.
Kate
Certified in 2016, her "Soulful Strength" yoga is a synthesis of Ashtanga, Baptiste-vinyasa, and restorative stillness. But more importantly, it is an exercise in human freedom. By blending breath-work and meditation with physical rigor.
Rooted in the Severance Yoga philosophy, Katie’s classes are not about "self-improvement" (a concept usually sold to us by people trying to sell us something else); they are about release. They are an invitation to stop performing, to disconnect from the "servitude" of external expectations, and to reconnect with the basic, rhythmic intentionality of being alive.
When she isn't on the mat, Katie lives as if another world is possible—exploring the planet, practicing plant-based autonomy, and generally ignoring the bureaucratic nonsense that tells us how a life "should" be lived. She teaches because she believes that feeling centered and empowered isn't a luxury—it’s a fundamental human right.
