Rebel Yoga Retreats are living sanctuaries for radical belonging and radical optimism, within yourself and in the world around you.
Here, you step fully into yourself, grounded, untamed, and open-hearted, while held in a circle that uplifts, expands, and strengthens the collective. Through travel, new landscapes, meaningful cultural experiences, and lots of laughter, something begins to open. You expand. You remember how to love, more deeply and more freely, yourself, others, and the world around you.
This is your invitation to reclaim your place, your power, and your belonging, alongside others who are rising, boldly and free.
Immerse yourself in the stunning beauty of the Atlantic Forest, where jungle, beach and mountains meet.
From the historic streets of Paraty, to coastal hikes in Trindade, to the untamed stillness of Saco do Mamanguá, the only tropical fjord in Brazil, and trekking to magical waterfalls, each experience invites you deeper into the wild and into yourself.
Nestled in the lush mountains of Brazil’s Atlantic rainforest, overlooking the still waters of Brazil’s only tropical fjord, Saco do Mamanguá, lies Aldeia Rizoma, a hidden sanctuary where nature and simplicity meet in perfect harmony.
Located in the region of Paraty, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its extraordinary blend of preserved culture and protected landscapes, this retreat is immersed in a place where history, nature, and life exist in rare harmony.
Surrounded by dense, vibrant jungle, a fresh river flows through the land, inviting you to swim, cool off, and reconnect with the raw simplicity of nature.
The villas, inspired by ancestral Indigenous wisdom and architecture, are designed in quiet dialogue with the forest: spaces that feel grounded, intentional, and deeply connected to the land.
Comfort in a wild environment is at the heart of Aldeia Rizoma. The forest houses are thoughtfully designed to exist in harmony with the surrounding ecosystem, offering a rare balance of comfort, privacy, and deep immersion in nature.
Rather than selecting a specific room, simply choose the accommodation category that feels most aligned for you and let us know any special requests, such as if you are traveling with someone, a preferred villa, a roommate, room accessibility, or other considerations. We will do our very best to honor your wishes while thoughtfully curating each space.
If you are booking a shared room, you may be paired with someone who becomes a lifelong friend, or perhaps reunited with someone you have already connected with on a past adventure. We use a little intuition, a little experience, and a lot of heart when bringing people together, and time and time again the magic unfolds.
Our intention is that your experience feels supportive, comfortable, meaningful and deeply connected.
The easiest way to reach Aldeia Rizoma is to fly into Rio de Janeiro, then enjoy a scenic 4 to 5 hour transfer along the coast to Paraty. From there, it is a short 20 minute drive into the mountains to reach Aldeia Rizoma.
Your transfer from and to Rio de Janeiro international airport is included in the retreat.
