Portugal Yoga Retreat

August 28 - September 3, 2024

Join us for a week-long retreat immersed in the revitalizing coastal gem of southern Portugal. 

Nestled within the heart of the Algarve region, we’ll spend a week together in the sanctuary of our own luxury private villa. With panoramic views of the turquoise sea and rustic country-side, our sacred grounds will be surrounded with pristine botanical gardens, orchards, tranquil terraces and a private pool.

Our time on retreat will be a precious and potent opportunity to turn inwards, reconnect with our inner nature, and foster deep connections of community. 
 

Sunrise will be spent in Noble Silence and meditation to cultivate inner harmony of body and mind, allowing for introspection with the serene adoration of our Portuguese backdrop. Each morning will also be followed by a dynamic and  invigorating vinyasa practice for your own embodied experience.

 

Evenings will be reserved for lunar-based practices incorporating Yin, Restorative and Yoga Nidra. Along with the opportunity to deepen and cultivate community through energetic engagements and interpersonal rituals. Evening sessions will be held in a ceremonial setting dedicated to inner healing and restoration.
 

The intimate setting of our villa allows us to spend our days lounging by the pool, connecting with nature inside the gardens and enjoying the exclusive terrace views. Beyond our private compound, we’ll explore the Algarve region hiking to pristine beaches, voyaging through Portugal’s iconic cliffs and caves on Stand Up Paddle boards, and experience the Serra de Monchique countryside in off-road Jeeps. Immerse in the local culture, as we’re only minutes away from the charming historical town of Lagos, with its castle walls, narrow, cobbled streets, pottery shops and numerous cafes.

Faro International Airport (FAO)

Please book your flight to arrive before 1PM on 8/28 and to depart after 2pm on 9/3

If you have the luxury of time, I suggest flying in a few days early to ground, rest and adjust to the time change so you are ready to go when the retreat begins. Enjoy and take a day or 2 to experience the city of either Lisbon or Faro before we head to Lagos.
