YOGA & BREATHWORK
Move your energy. Deepen your breath. Come back to yourself.
Kundalini Yoga and Deep Transformational Breathwork for individuals, groups, retreats and conscious events. Currently based on Gozo and available for selected collaborations elsewhere.
BODY, BREATH & AWARENESS
Two practices. One invitation to reconnect.
Yoga and breathwork can both create space to slow down, listen inwardly and reconnect with what is happening beneath the surface.
Within BABA, they are offered as two distinct practices. Kundalini Yoga combines movement, breath, meditation and energetic awareness. Deep Transformational Breathwork uses connected breathing, music and embodied attention to support a deeper experiential journey.
You can experience each practice separately or bring elements together within a retreat, private programme or conscious event.
THE PRACTICES
Different pathways into presence.
Choose the practice that resonates with you now. No previous experience is required unless stated for a specific session.
KUNDALINI YOGA
Awaken energy through practice.
Kundalini Yoga brings together kriya, conscious movement, pranayama, meditation, mantra and deep relaxation. Each session offers a structured practice designed to build awareness and create a more direct relationship with your energy.
DEEP TRANSFORMATIONAL BREATHWORK
Go beyond the thinking mind.
A deeper, music-led breathwork experience using conscious connected breathing and embodied awareness. The practice creates space for exploration, emotional movement, insight and reconnection with the body.
A LIVED PRACTICE
Experience shaped by different teachers and traditions.
My approach has developed through years of personal practice, training and experience with facilitators working across different breathwork and consciousness-based disciplines.
A personal and evolving approach
Over the years, I have explored a range of approaches including conscious connected breathwork, transformational breathwork, psychedelic breathwork experiences, somatic practices, meditation, pranayama and Kundalini-based techniques.
Rather than copying one fixed formula, I bring together what I have learned into an approach that is grounded, intuitive and responsive to the people in the room.
Kundalini Yoga and Deep Transformational Breathwork remain separate practices. Each session has its own intention, structure and pace, with time for grounding and integration.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Practice in the way that supports you.
Group Classes & Circles
Intimate Kundalini Yoga classes and transformational breathwork circles for small groups, local communities and visitors.

YOUR FACILITATOR
Practice guided by experience, curiosity and presence.
I am José Gomes, founder of BABA Retreats. My work brings together breathwork, Kundalini Yoga, movement, conscious events and intimate retreat experiences.
Alongside years of personal practice and learning from different facilitators, I completed a 200-hour Kundalini Kriya teacher training and have guided breathwork, yoga and movement experiences for groups and individuals.
I believe meaningful practice does not need unnecessary performance or spiritual jargon. It needs attention, preparation, honesty and a space in which people are allowed to experience what is genuinely present.
