Yoga and wellness lovers, prepare yourselves for the retreat of a lifetime! Corc Yoga is hosting The Renewal—a week-long seven-day spiritual journey in Portugal from June 27 - July 3, 2020—where new friends, experiences, and wellness await.

Corc Yoga features a line of 100% sustainable and renewable yoga mats and accessories, all of which are made with cork harvested in Portugal. The brand began its journey in the cork region of Portugal, where Corc Yoga founder Christine Moghadam was inspired by the hospitality of local residents and the potential eco-consciousness of the material.

During the trip, guests will stay at Tivoli Évora Ecoresort, a 4-star luxury resort and the world's first cork hotel, tucked away in the Portuguese city of Évora.

Born on the Alentejo landscape and built on strong environmental values, this hotel seamlessly integrates sustainability with Corc Yoga’s core values.

Guests also have the unique opportunity to go corktrekking in the surrounding cork forest, learning more about the heritage of this eco-friendly material as told by local cork farm owners and experts. The daily itinerary includes yoga, sound baths, and guided meditation led by industry experts including Riva G, Tova, Claire Grieve, Kjord Davis, and Nicole Sciacca.

Guests will sample local cuisine, as well as undergo an immersive wine tasting experience led by a local sommelier. No need to bring a mat, as each participant will receive a brand-new Corc mat to use throughout the duration of the trip!
