Namaste

. Our yoga retreat centre is nestled in the valley`s of rural Portugal and is a place of peace and harmony. Our yoga retreats combine ashtanga yoga and dynamic yoga using vinyasa krama (step by step progression) to help to build a good foundation for your practice. This is a one week ashtanga vinyasa yoga course, working through the primary and introducing some postures from the second series if appropriate for the practitioner.

Our diet here at the yoga retreat centre is as important as the yoga practice and we only serve vegetarian whole food based on macrobiotic principles. The diet is designed to detoxify the body but like everything it is your choice if you follow it.

Our home is a traditional nineteenth century Portuguese estate nestled in a eucalyptus, pine and cork oak forest in rural Portugal spread over one hectare of land. The retreat center comprises of a large stone built house with beautiful antique wooden features and furniture (the epitome of shabby chic!) previously the home of the local padre and three rustic stone cottages once home to the estate workers. There are also numerous stone out buildings, restored using natural building materiel's where possible.

Around the retreat centre we have lots of peaceful places to relax and enjoy the sun. The surrounding forested valley`s have some spectacular walks through the mountain ranges.

If you come by car you can drive to the lovely near bye villages or to the river beach for a dip.
