Portugal 2023

Nature and Nurture, Relax and rejuvenate
Treat yourself to 7 days of yoga in the stunning Algarve.

Set in hills just outside the lovely old town of Loule, in the middle of the Algarve, the retreat centre has far reaching views of the sea and offers a green and open space to relax and rejuvenate. It’s easy to get to, 20 minutes by car from Faro airport and close to the coast. It’s the perfect place to explore and deepen your practice

Accommodation

All rooms are en-suite, most with sunny terraces to sit and enjoy the incredible views. There’s a relaxing lounge area and access to the kitchen, with tea, coffee and water available all day. There’s a swimming pool with sun loungers and over 5 acres to explore; plenty of seating areas where you can relax and chill out with company or have some time to yourself – your choice. If you’re feeling more active, you can also go in all directions for a short walk around the mountain.

Yoga Classes

The stunning yoga shala has been specifically made, with cork floors and a warm wood roof. It’s also fully equipped with everything we need to enable our practice.
There will be 2 classes most days, with 10 in total.

The morning classes will be active and energising, developing our understanding and deepening our experience of new and familiar postures and will focus on alignment to create freedom and space within the body mind.

The evening session will be recuperative in nature, using props to support the body inducing deep relaxation, fostering the stillness and peace required to introduce pranayama (breathing) techniques, which build energy and foster serenity.

Food

We’ll be eating out on the terrace, with views of the sea. 

The meals will be freshly prepared, protein rich vegetarian meals, using locally grown and organic food whenever possible.

Lovingly prepared by Wendy and Elena, it is plentiful and delicious. Brunch and dinner (except dinner on one night when we go out) is included for each full day that we are there.

Brunch will include cereal, yogurt, fruits, breads, homemade preserves, salads, cheese and fresh juice.

Dinner is three courses of an international/Mediterranean flavor, with a huge variety of dishes over the week.

What else is there to do?

During your free time in between classes you can… Curl up with a book on a cosy terrace. Swim or sunbathe.

Enjoy a variety of bodywork or traditional massages from skilled and carefully chosen therapists.

Explore the surrounding area and beaches. Walk for miles without seeing a soul. Meet new like-minded friends.

Nap in the afternoon – why not?
