Your retreat is held at a place called Casa Paço D’ilhas – a traditional heritage-style guest house with all the modern amenities you can wish for. It’s located on a hilltop, overlooking the world renowned surf breaks of Ericeira on one side, and the lush countryside of Santo Isodoro on the other side. Just a 10 min walk from the nearest beach Ribeira D’ilhas.
In the main building there’s a dining area, open fireplace, kitchen and an honesty bar where you can enjoy a glass of good Portuguese wine or a local beer. Casa Palheiro, Cabana Jardim and Casa Azores are just a few names of the very unique and charming rooms and small houses at Casa Paço D’ilhas. Imagine uneven wooden and stone floors, antique beds and chairs and other vintage details – this is a place full of soul and history.
All the Portuguese roads are well connected by bus and this is a good option for budget-minded backpackers. A private rental car or private transfer is the most convenient way to get here.
If you like the idea of spending time with a bunch of vinyasa-flow lovers from all over the world, as a community, sharing the dedication for the practice, this 6 Day Yoga retreat is surely for you!
Spend a week on the beautiful west-coast of Portugal, deepen your practice every day in an inspiring setting, reconnecting to your body and soul. Wake up to the sound of birds and waves, knowing you’ll not only take good care of yourself through the practice, but also through nourishing food, mind-blowing nature and fresh air.
During this retreat you'll have plenty of time to deepen your practice, with a daily 2 hour morning practice, workshops and deep stretching yin yoga in the afternoons. Epic delicious home-cooked meals, evening bonfires, beach-time, walks in nature, beautiful sunsets and still plenty of time to relax!
This immersion is for those who have already had a Vinyasa Flow practice, not for beginners. There will be many different levels and the team will make sure everyone’s met where they're at in their practice - always offering many options and modifications.
You will start each day with a two hour dynamic Vinyasa Flow practice, moving through the whole body. Each class will have a different theme/focus and includes pranayama and meditation. Classes are physically demanding so get ready to move, breathe and sometimes challenge yourself. You’ll have the chance to “request” poses you’d like to work on during the week.
In the afternoon you will meet again for deep-stretching yin yoga, pranayama, meditation and relaxation. Throughout the immersion you’ll also have two yoga workshops allowing you to go deeper into asanas, philosophy and have time for journaling and discussions.
