Overview
The retreat
Seven nights on a restored farm estate in the Alentejo, built around two daily practices, food grown a few hundred metres away and a lot of unscheduled time.
Mornings start with breathwork and a slow vinyasa class in the stone barn. Afternoons are yours: swim, sleep, walk to the village or join an optional cooking session. Evenings close with yin yoga or yoga nidra before dinner under the vines.
Designed for
People who want a real rest without giving up movement. New and experienced practitioners are equally welcome; every class offers options.
