let's get real, raw, and rooted
Welcome to the SOL Retreat — where ancient earth medicine meets the modern soul. This is a 10-day immersive experience for yogis, seekers, and edge-walkers ready to return to the most authentic version of themselves.
Hosted in the wild beauty of Portugal’s Algarve coast, this retreat is a hybrid: part sacred getaway, part soulful teacher training. We’ll explore the foundations of Ayurveda — the original Science of Life — while weaving in breath, movement, ritual, and earth-based wisdom to reconnect you to the rhythm of your own nature.
Whether you come for the 25 accredited hours, or for the pure medicine of presence, the invitation is the same:
Come home to yourself.
why sol?
the vision behind the retreat
This retreat is more than a getaway.
It’s a remembering.
In a world that’s moving faster than our nervous systems can keep up with, SOL is an invitation to slow down, strip back, and sink into the sacred simplicity of being.
S.O.L. — the Science of Life — is our portal. Rooted in Ayurveda’s ancient wisdom and guided by embodied practices, this journey is about getting intimate with your nature, your needs, and your magic. You’ll learn how to care for yourself in a way that feels both practical and profound — and you’ll leave with real tools for integration and intuitive living.
This is for the ones who want to feel…
-
Wildly grounded
-
Soulfully aligned
-
Nourished by nature
-
Alive in their truth
-
And deeply connected — to body, earth, and spirit
What you'll explore

Tyke Riggs — yoga teacher, space-holder, soul guide.
"I created the SOL Retreat as a space to remember: how to soften, how to listen, how to reconnect with the wild beauty that lives within and around us. My work weaves together Ayurveda, somatic movement, yogic wisdom, and deep inner inquiry — all in service of one thing:
You, coming home to you."
Tyke Riggs is a soul in perpetual bloom, weaving the ancient threads of yoga with the timeless wisdom of both East and West. For over a decade, Tyke has been a devoted guide, leading students into the profound depths of their own being through a holistic approach to yoga. With an essence that resonates with the chakras' vibrant energies, Tyke creates sacred spaces that nurture self-discovery and healing.
As a yoga teacher, space facilitator, and experience curator, Tyke believes in
the power of somatic, embodied movement and the magic that unfolds when we embrace conscious connections. These principles are woven through every offering, whether in intimate, immersive yoga teacher trainings or within the soft embrace of a sunrise practice. Based between the sun-soaked shores of South Goa and the serene Algarve in Portugal, Tyke is gently cultivating Blue Sage Yoga, a school where seekers are invited to learn, grow, and transform.
Rooted in the earth yet reaching for the stars, Tyke’s teachings invite you to move, breathe, and become – to find the harmony within, where the wisdom of the body and the spirit entwine.
