Rebel is not just a retreat. It is an awakening — a remembering, a way of being.
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, more freely. This is your invitation to reclaim your place, your power, and your belonging, alongside others who are rising, boldly and free. It's time to embrace and elevate your most true, untamed self.
Aldeia Rizoma
Nestled in the lush mountains of Brazil's Atlantic rainforest, overlooking the still waters of Saco do Mamanguá — Brazil's only tropical fjord — Aldeia Rizoma is a hidden sanctuary where nature and simplicity meet in perfect harmony.
Atlantic Forest
Set within dense, vibrant jungle with panoramic views of forest-covered mountains. A fresh river flows through the land — inviting you to swim, cool off, and reconnect with the raw simplicity of nature.
Saco do Mamanguá
Overlooking Brazil's only tropical fjord, in the region of Paraty — a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its rare blend of preserved culture and protected landscapes.
Indigenous-inspired villas
The forest houses, inspired by ancestral Indigenous wisdom and architecture, are designed in quiet dialogue with the forest — grounded, intentional, and deeply connected to the land.
Three journeys beyond the mat
Three tailored excursions are included with your stay — each one inviting you deeper into the wild, and into yourself.
Wander the cobbled, colonial streets of Paraty — a preserved UNESCO World Heritage town where history, culture and nature exist in rare harmony.
Coastal hikes through the Mata Atlântica to the wild beaches of Trindade and treks to magical hidden waterfalls, where jungle meets sea.
The untamed stillness of Saco do Mamanguá — the only tropical fjord in Brazil — explored by boat and on foot.
Choosing where you stay
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.
Write to us and we will share the categories still open.
