MEET YOUR GUIDES
Sara and Guilherme are passionate facilitators who blend adventure, movement, and nature to guide you on a transformative journey. With Sara’s expertise in yoga, strength, and mindfulness, and Gui’s deep connection to the land and ocean as a surf instructor, they offer a unique experience that nurtures both body and soul. Together, they create a space for you to reconnect with yourself, break through limitations, and embrace the rhythm of nature.
MEET SARA
Sara, founder of Shakti Souls is an international yoga, movement, and women’s health coach, has spent her life exploring the connection between body, nature, and spirit. Her career as a movement and wellness coach started at the age of 15 years old and took her across the globe - from rugged coastlines of Europe to America and the breathtaking waters of the Bahamas. This path eventually led her to Bali, the sacred land she always felt called to—a place she now calls home. It was in Bali’s raw beauty that Sara overcame her own fears of surfing learning to trust the ocean’s wisdom and her inner own strength as she embodied through her movement and spiritual practices. Having also explored Portugal’s breathtaking landscapes and tranquil energy, Sara shares a deep reverence for its untamed coastal lands. Today, Sara blends her two decades of experience in professional dance, fitness, and yoga with her passion for healing and women’s health. With over 1,000 hours of training in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and Meditation, her teachings integrate strength, embodied movement, breathe work & meditation techniques, rooted in ancient yogic practices and the wisdom of the earths elements. Through her offerings, Sara has empowered thousands to shed mental blocks, overcome chronic injuries, reconnect with their bodies, and embrace profound joy and freedom through these teachings.
On this retreat, Sara will guide you through different styles of yoga, elemental and human connection workshops, as-well as breath-work/meditation explorations, helping you tap into nature’s rhythm as a mirror for growth and self-trust. Together creating experiences where you can connect to the profound technology within yourself and trusting in the flow of life as you explore the beauty of Portugals magical healing lands.
MEET GUILHERME
Guilherme, born and raised in the picturesque coastal town of São Pedro do Estoril, Portugal, has nurtured a lifelong connection to the ocean and the great outdoors. From the age of 7, he immersed himself in water and adventure sports—surfing, spear-fishing, and boating—discovering profound transformation in surrendering to the rhythms of nature. This connection sparked a deep curiosity for travel, leading him to explore some of the world’s most iconic surf and adventure destinations, including Bali, Australia, Mexico, Morocco, France, and beyond. Guilherme now splits his time between Portugal and his second home, Uluwatu, Bali, where he shares his passion for the raw simplicity of island life and supports others on their journey toward deeper connection with themselves and the natural world. Through surfing, Guilherme has guided thousands of people of all ages to overcome their fears of the ocean, shed mental blocks, and trust in the wisdom of their bodies. His approach to teaching empowers you to surrender to nature’s rhythm, breaking through limiting beliefs to experience ultimate joy, freedom, and presence in the moment.
Whether you’re navigating the waves, snorkelling in the pristine Atlantic waters, taking a boat trip to hidden island gems or trekking the breathtaking coastal cliffs of Portugal, Guilherme’s grounded presence will encourage you to embrace new challenges and connect with the elemental power around you. With his guidance, every adventure becomes an opportunity to rediscover your confidence, release your fears, and immerse yourself in the transformative magic of nature.
