Your Retreat Hosts
- Evelyn O'Briantalk to EvelynEvelyn is an Irish yoga teacher based in the beautiful Algarve, Portugal. She first discovered yoga at 18 while seeking relief from chronic back pain during a fast-paced chapter of her life in London.

Today, Evelyn guides with intention, presence, and a deep appreciation for the community that forms when people come together on the mat. Her classes invite students to explore mindful movement, stillness, and the grounding medicine of breath.
