Indulge yourself on this barefoot luxury yoga (and optional surf) retreat in Sintra National Park - considered by many as the most picturesque part of the Portuguese coast. From the 26 Oct - 3 Nov, escape real life and enjoy a whole week exploring the amazing scenery, surfing the waves, or chilling out poolside getting lost in a good book.
This is designed to be a fun, social, yet at the same time peaceful retreat. Please be conscious that some guests may be prioritising their rest and relaxation so any late night partying should take place off-site.
WHAT’S INCLUDED…
7 nights cosy accommodation in our own private villa.
Fresh, healthy and nutritious vegan/vegetarian breakfasts (7), lunches (6) and dinners (7) for the duration of your stay.
About 20 hours of yoga instruction over the 7 days - energising practices to start the day and something softer to close the day.
An arm balances workshop.
Yoga mats and props.
Full use of the facilities at the villa; outdoor pool, gorgeous gardens, gym and mini-spa (sauna, steam bath and jacuzzi).
Extra: Surf packages can be added for anyone interested.
OUR ACCOMMODATION…
We’ll be staying in gorgeous villa nestled in the coastal sanctuary of Sintra’s National Park. There are views of castles on one side, and rolling hills and coastline on the other. The house has been designed and decorated to mirror Balinese well-being, so expect soft white bedding, big plants and simple yet stylish touches.
Located just 30 minutes from Lisbon and a short drive to some of the best beaches around, it’s the perfect base to both switch-off and explore. There are a mixture of private and shared rooms, an outdoor pool, mini-spa with sauna, steam bath and jacuzzi, as well as a gym and giant garden to enjoy.
Accommodation options:
2 x Double room with ensuite
3 x Double room with shared bathrooms
1 x Twin room with ensuite
1 x Dorm room (4 pax) with ensuite
THE YOGA…
Begin each morning with a fun, dynamic flow class designed to energise you for the day ahead. In the evenings we’ll be keeping calm by focusing on the softer side of yoga; deep stretches, gentle movement and lots of rest and relaxation. During our stay I’ll also hold an arm balances workshop for anyone prepared to add some extra playtime to their practice.
The yoga classes can be adapted to suit all levels, shapes and sizes, but I’d recommend a minimum of 10-12 hours of practice so you’re familiar with some of the most popular postures beforehand.
The house has both inside and outside areas for yoga-ing and all mats and props are provided.
For those of you who haven’t met me before (hello), you can read a bit about my teaching style here. You can also read my student testimonials here. I’m biased, but I think I’m a great person to retreat with; I’m confident this will be a fun week and you’ll learn lots along the way. :)
