Retreat details
A 5 night retreat nestled in a Portuguese mountain valley: tranquil nature, daily yoga and meditation, delicious food and great company
Practice hatha, vinyasa, yin and restorative yoga, with classes both morning and evening. Start your day with an energising but mindful vinyasa flow on our stunning practice space with uninterrupted views of the surrounding valley. Set yourself up for the day ahead by moving in time with your breath – unhurried movement to help calm your mind. There will be ample opportunity for personal attention, and to advance your practice by learning how to adapt the postures to best suit the needs of your own body. Each evening we'll wind down with a slow, calming and grounding practice, rounded off with a guided relaxation. You'll float out of our evening sessions feeling relaxed, renewed and restored. In addition, we will also practice some simple meditation and breathing techniques that are perfect for keeping the relaxed vibe going even after you get back home to real life.
