Portugal Eco Retreat

Connecting to the Earth

Nourishing • Therapeutic • Grounding

In order to create an earthy and nourishing yoga experience for you, we have selected this modern and eco-conscious venue in Faro District, Portugal. Discretely tucked away in a green space next to a natural reserve, you'll be a 10 minute cycle to the local beach where you will find soft white sands and vast blue sea. The purpose of this retreat is to take time to nourish the body and mind and reconnect with our mother earth, which nourishes all lives on this planet. This special place will allow you to relax and immerse yourself into a conscious and mindful state and allow you to connect with the inner intrinsic experience of happiness and peace. Each day will be made up of morning flow yoga, followed by a freshly prepared brunch made with organic produce from the retreat's own farm, and free time in the afternoon is followed by yin yoga / restorative yoga, where we will then be ready for our delicious, home cooked dinner. There will also be a dedicated workshop scheduled during your stay, as well as other optional activities for you to expand your experience if you so wish. Our retreats are designed to be relaxed and informal, so there will be plenty of free time between classes for you to explore the neighbourhood, the local organic gardens or simply soaking up the Portugal sun by the sweet swimming pool. There is in-house newly built hamam (Turkish Bath) which promotes muscular relief by reducing stress and muscular pain, reducing fats and eliminating body toxins which can be booked with therapeutic massages. This Portugal Eco retreat is designed to allow you to fully relax with friends or partners, or simply take the time to be by yourself.

What You Can Expect

Yoga

Sessions are inclusive for all levels, providing a supportive environment for those learning or revisiting yoga fundamentals, including postures, alignment, breathing, and techniques. The sessions incorporate a blend of Vinyasa flow, Hatha, and Yin/Restorative styles. Daily practice fosters a sense of grounding, centering, and rejuvenation.

Home Grown Organic Produce

We offer fresh, home-cooked vegetarian meals, with 80% of the ingredients sourced from our own organic farm and 20% from local farms. Our dishes, inspired by Faro style cuisine, feature modern twists for fresh and exciting flavors. We can accommodate dietary preferences like gluten-free and vegan; kindly inform us in advance.

Singling Bowl Meditation & Yoga Nidra

Deep breathing, Pranayama, meditation, and Yoga Nidra offer significant benefits in the medical field by reducing anxiety and depression, stabilizing blood pressure, alleviating stress, and enhancing immunity. Yoga Nidra, with its unique body scan and breath awareness stages, provides deep rest and relaxation beyond conventional meditation. When combined with singing bowl meditation, it promotes profound cellular-level relaxation for improved overall health.

Connecting To The Self And Nature

Ample scheduled free time allows you to immerse yourself in the lush Algarve landscape. Revel in the beauty of the surroundings, take a dip in the outdoor pool, and bask in the warm climate. Spending time outdoors in nature is known to release stress, boost the immune system, enhance sleep, promote relaxation, and spiritually cleanse your aura.
