I chose this retreat as loved the focus on female empowerment and a variety of practises to help nourish the mind and soul and it didn’t disappoint.  The whole retreat is created beautifully by Anke where each day you learn something new about yourself while being supported by the most amazing practitioners I’ve ever met. The setting was stunning, the food was delicious and the women truly special. Thank you Anke for creating such a beautiful space, I will never forget it and certainly feel like I’m shining 💕✨

The blissful yoga practice day to day was so good for my body, mind, and spirit. It was a great mix of different practice so I felt able to lean into different elements of yoga and experiences.

I particularly enjoyed the other sessions in sound healing, breathwork and chakra work. They contributed to a very holistic experience that ran deep into uncovering different parts of myself, and were led by brilliant practitioners. I felt very held in the spaces that were created and got to bring so much meaning to this whole journey.

The group of women who were all sharing this retreat experience together made it so memorable, I made amazing connections and it felt like similar reasons had all led us there together to connect and create beautiful memories. It was so lovely to have free time to spend together too, visiting Las Dalias and watching the beautiful sunset with a picnic together, as well as stunning walks along the coastline.

The boutique hotel that hosted our retreat group was so beautiful and the perfect setting to go on this journey.

I would go on another soul retreat with Anke in a heartbeat. It was honestly everything I had hoped for and even more. There’s nothing I would change in this experience 🩷✨☺️

It really helped me to slow down, reconnect with myself, my surroundings and the other lovely women within the retreat. The teachers were all so kind and genuine - I’d love to go back in a heartbeat. I’d strongly recommend experiencing it at least once in your lifetime.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Last year, I had a chance to attend a yoga retreat in Portugal. What an amazing and transformative experience! The whole week was very special and has a special place in my heart. I have met so many amazing women from all corners of the world and begun my own healing journey. I honestly went there with no expectations, but Anke managed to calm down my busy mind, helped us relax through amazing yoga sessions, and connect to inner ourselves and each other through other group acitivites such as kirtan, surfing or learning about chakras. I have never felt so relaxed and calm as after the yoga retreat with Annke. Thank you, Anke, so much!

The yoga sessions were excellent and suitable for all levels, whether you are a beginner or have years of experience. One of the highlights was the food – the retreat had its own chef who prepared delicious Ayurvedic dinners every evening.

There were plenty of opportunities to join group activities and explore the island together, but nothing ever felt mandatory. If you wanted some quiet time for yourself, there was also plenty of space to relax and recharge on your own.

Overall, it was a truly relaxing experience with a wonderful atmosphere. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and well-rested. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a perfect balance of yoga, relaxation, great food, and genuine connection.

100% recommended!

What stood out most was how intentional and genuine everything felt. The teachers were incredibly knowledgeable, but also deeply human… The yoga classes were INCREDIBLE! and every experience — from breathwork to sound healing to the conversations shared over meals — felt curated with so much care.

There was something very special about the environment that was created here. It felt safe. Honest. Grounding. Like a place where people could arrive exactly as they were, without needing to hide their heaviness.

I left feeling softer, clearer, and more connected to myself than I have in a long time. Not because the retreat “fixed” me, but because it reminded me that I’m allowed to pause, feel, and exist outside of survival mode.

Portugal already held so much beauty, but this retreat added something deeper to the experience. I’ll carry pieces of it with me forever❤️

´I’ve recently come back from my first shine yoga retreat and it beyond exceeded my expectations!! I’m not a yogi and was a little apprehensive about my level but Anke and Nancy were amazing at adapting the sessions for all experiences and helping wherever possible. Everything was at a really high standard, and the food was excellent! I’m already excited about booking my next retreat with them. Thanks again ladies, and for all your help and advice on life! Xx ´

“I just finished spending a truly amazing week with Anke and her team, as she also chooses us , and the Retreat was superb! The island of Ibiza rocks but her way of taking you through the journey is delicate! A strange mix of joy, happiness and relax mode invades you and permeates your soul all along, I will cherish this time. Thank you all, thanks again and best wishes. Namaste!!!”

´The yoga retreat was one of the best experiences I have ever had ! It was my first retreat and I was amazed by literally everything: the gorgeous and peaceful venue in the nature only 10 minutes alway from the ocean; the wonderful group of people I got to meet; the blissful yoga classes and workshops; the healthy and delicious food abundantly served; the way everything was perfectly organized to give each of us the best possible experience; the positive energy and magic atmosphere that surrounded us. I went to unplug and disconnect and left completely recharged and inspired. Couldn’t have been more thankful for that.´

Veronica Sammarini, Paris, France

My first yoga retreat experience with Anke and the whole group in Portugal was more than amazing! Anke has such a warm and kind heart and you can feel that in all of her lessons. I really liked the fact that she explains a lot about yoga and the effects on the body, and how you can adjust or improve your poses. She has a lot of knowledge and could make it understandable to all of us, therefore she’s a great teacher I think! I would love to do another yoga retreat next year with Anke What I liked about the house in Portugal is the location, the nice people, the vibe and the delicious food everyday And the sunsets were incredible!!!

´Anke is a beautiful spirit and the yoga retreat that she and Nancy led was wonderfully refreshing. I participated in classes taught by both of them and I cannot recommend them both highly enough. Ankie has a very joyful energy and she made sure that her lessons were filled with light and love.

I can safely say that I didn’t just gain a new guru, I gained a friend. If you are at all considering this retreat, don’t think about it any longer and just book it! It is by far the best thing I have done this year. Thank you, thank you, thank you!´

“The Ibiza Retreat was better than I can ever describe with words. The whole experience was full of joy, love, power, peace and beauty – and it made everyone in the group blossom. Anke is such an inspirational teacher and a wonderful person. A true gift for body and soul. I can’t wait to go back.”

Monica Klepp-Bjerrum, Copenhagen, Denmark

´I have known Anke for several years since originally teaching at our Yoga and Meditation Centre in Bali. She is a wise soul, caring and communicates on a level of equality. She is a good listener, so she can ascertain what students need and shares her extensive knowledge in a magical way that creates yogic passion within the seekers.´

Jon Meston, Bali

This was my first retreat with Shine Yoga and Anke and I’m definitely coming back for more! Anke is fun loving, knowledgeable, and an energetic soul who looks after everyone both on and of the yoga mat. The yoga classes were great as each class was different and catered for all levels. There was a variety of classes including strong vinyasa, blissful restorative classes, and peaceful meditation. The Wisdoms’ of emotions workshop was great for a deeper insight to ones emotions. Coming home from Mallorca, I felt energetic and happy and ready to take on everyday life. The memories and connections made, I will cherish forever. Thank you Anke!
