YOGA & ROLLERSKATE
IN PORTUGAL
Join Jodie, Nicky, and 14 women from May 26 to 31 for a 6-day rollerskate-centered retreat in Portugal. A playful journey to (re)connect with your inner child, move freely, and explore the beauty of the Portuguese coast.
At the heart of this retreat is rollerskating — a powerful way to free your mind, feel fully present, and spark pure joy. Whether you’ve been skating for a while or are a total beginner, we’ll move together with music, flow, and fun. Skating becomes a meditation, a dance, a celebration of freedom.
Alongside skating, we’ll also practice yoga, breathwork and meditation, and (optionally) surf — letting the ocean wash away what no longer serves us. This retreat is your invitation to slow down, tune in, and remember what it feels like to play.
We’ll gather daily for yoga, skating sessions, optional surf lessons, sharing circles, and time in nature. Whether it is relaxing in the garden, laughing over meals, chatting in the swimming pool, this is your moment to reset — your body, mind and soul.
Our home for these days is Far End Surf House, a cozy eco-villa surrounded by nature located in Nadrupe, which we’ll have entirely to ourselves. You’ll wake up to green hills and birdsong, with the Atlantic coast just a 10-minute drive away.
This is your Portugal reset. A celebration of movement, connection, and joy.
WHAt YOU’ll EXPERIENCE:
5 nights in a private villa with a beautiful garden, swimming pool and onsite skate terrace
Breakfast and dinner made by a private chef
Make your own sandwich/salad with fresh ingredients for lunch

Nicky is a yoga teacher, lifelong yoga student, roller skater, and baby waves surfer. She discovered yoga in her early twenties, and over the past ten years, it has been life-changing for her. It has helped her heal from PTSD and cultivate a sense of self-love and confidence that she never thought possible. These experiences have shaped her life’s mission: to share how to take yoga beyond physical practice, empowering her students and guiding them back to their true selves.
Nicky will guide you with awareness and love through Hatha Flow, Embodied Flow, and Yin Yoga practices. Her classes always include meditation and pranayama (breathwork), as this is where the magic truly happens.
Influenced by traditional Tantric Hatha, Vinyasa, somatics, energy healing, and Kundalini practices, her sessions invite you to dive deeper into self-awareness, balance your energies, calm your nervous system and connect with your subconscious mind. Helping you break through unhealthy patterns and step into your full potential.

JODIE
ROLLERSKATE WORKSHOP HOST
odie Licinio (@rollerscrapes) is a full-time rollerskate teacher and community builder based in the Southwest UK who is passionate about making movement feel fun and accessible, and believes that movement is one of the most powerful ways to connect with ourselves and with others.
Having started with no formal skate or dance background herself, she knows firsthand how daunting it can feel to begin as an adult, and she brings patience, encouragement, and understanding from her own journey into every class. Jodie loves to make up choreography, play with creativity, and explore the joy of moving together.
Her teaching style is rooted in encouragement and play, with a focus on blending international skate culture with technique, exploration, and building confidence in safe, supportive spaces. Through skating, Jodie shares not just technique, but the freedom, creativity, and community that group or solo movement can unlock.
Her hope is that everyone she teaches leaves feeling lighter, braver, and more connected to themselves.

It was such a great experience! Nicky is kind, funny, and an amazing yoga instructor. She created a beautiful atmosphere and it was a super healing, warming and heart-melting experience!
There was enough time to relax and connect with the other women, and different activities that were super fun, like rollerskating!
I definitely recommend it to anyone that is looking for a wholesome experience. -
HELLY - PORTUGAL '24
From yoga and surfing to hot tub hangs, deep chats, rollerskating, and a lot of napping, it was the perfect holiday to reconnect with my inner child.
While the weather was unfortunately not with us, Nicky went above and beyond to make us feel grounded and still have so much fun! I’m so grateful to have connected with such a wonderful group of women.
The highlight? Rekindling my love for roller skating, something I hadn’t done in over 15 years! I might not have been the steadiest, but with the Patrizia’s help, I found my balance and learned some cool moves and tricks. What a trip! I'm feeling so grateful for Nicky and the memories I'll keep for a lifetime! -
PATRIZIA - PORTUGAL '24
I had the best time ever at the Innerspace Retreat in Portugal! Nicky is an amazing teacher and person. She put in so much love in every detail: the location & food, all the activities, the different lessons & workshops and also the people.
I have never been to any retreat before & definitely wouldn‘t have expected to leave with such a full heart, recovered soul & a bunch of new friends.

Marlene - Portugal '24
Nicky’s Innerspace Retreat was undoubtedly one of the highlights of my summer! It provided the perfect escape to relax, engage in much-needed introspection, connect with a wonderful group of women, and explore the beauty of Portugal.
As someone who loves both roller skating and yoga, I was instantly drawn to this unique combination. This experience truly marked the evolution of my intentional self-care and wellness practice.
The yoga classes were refreshing, and the roller skating lessons were an absolute blast—learning new tricks and mastering old ones had my inner child beaming with joy!
Nicky is a host like no other! Her warm energy and infectious enthusiasm made everyone and every moment feel special. I returned home completely recharged and ready to embrace what’s next! I can’t wait to dive into another retreat hosted by Nicky!
