Every person has a vocation to be someone:
but you must understand clearly that in order to fulfil your vocation
you can only be one person:
yourself.
I’m really excited about offering you this chance to move more deeply into your yoga practice. We’ll be working with the theme of honouring your true nature and throughout each practice I’ll be threading ideas from the yoga tradition into this theme.
We’ll begin our days on retreat with meditation and a warming yet grounding dynamic practice and we’ll close each day with a soothing yin yoga practice to help us find balance and bring us into total harmony. One afternoon, I’ll be guiding an optional yoga skills workshop which will allow us to focus on breaking down some of the more challenging yoga transitions & poses.
Casa Fuzetta is located in the heart of Olhao, an ancient fishing town in the eastern Algarve. Among a warren of narrow cobbled streets, cubist fishermen's dwellings and faded merchants’ houses, Casa Fuzetta is just a short stroll from the waterfront, fabulous local markets and a lovely selection of family-run establishments. The daily covered markets are regarded as some of the best in Portugal and the Saturday morning produce market on the waterfront is a foodie heaven! The town also boasts a blossoming community of artists and creatives and easy access to a host of wonderful islands just off the coast that can be explored by boat.
Travelling to Casa Fuzetta could not be easier - Olhao is about 15 minutes drive from Faro International airport, which is well served all year round by multiple airlines arriving daily from across Europe.
Casa Fuzetta is pure luxury! This historic townhouse located in the heart of Olhao’s old town was lovingly restored with the help of local craftsmen and artisans to create a property that balances the heritage of its architecture with contemporary design and comfort.
Every room is uniquely designed and absolutely stunning. Indeed, the whole house - complete with rooftop swimming pool - is done to the highest standard. Yoga will take place on the roof and there are lots of areas throughout the house - terraces, libraries and meditation rooms - to relax and make yourself at home.
Whether enjoying the company of others on one of the terraces or curling up with tea and your book in the library, Casa Fuzetta is the perfect place to reset and recharge.

Connie Crawford
Connie's passion for yoga flows out of her into everything she does - from teaching to the way that she lives her life. Initially coming to yoga from a very physical place, over many years of practice and over two years of teaching, Connie has nurtured a much more mellow and spiritual side to her understanding and sharing of yoga. Connie has over 450 hours of yoga teacher training experience and teaches a wide range of styles in studios across London. From strong, dynamic classes such as rocket, vinyasa and mandala vinyasa to softer classes such as flow to restore and yin yoga, Connie loves all styles that she teaches as she believes that each has their place in the yoga-sphere, either as complementary practices or as practices to take up at different times of our lives.
