A Yoga Retreat For Renewed Energy And Inner Harmony
Each day begins in stillness and awareness. Morning sessions open with pranayama and meditation, followed by a strengthening and nourishing Hatha Yoga Flow that supports both body and mind. As the day softens, evenings are dedicated to calming Yin Yoga practices, offering space to slow down. We gently explore the principles of Yin and Yang.
During the afternoons, there is ample time to rest, unwind, or explore the surroundings — the Monte Velho forest, the nearby ocean, and the wide, open landscapes of the Algarve. Optional activities may include massages at the retreat center, swimming in the ocean, wildlife or dolphin observation, hiking or cycling, surf lessons, horseback riding, or simply enjoying deep rest in the beautiful, calming surroundings.
Fresh, seasonal vegetarian meals are served daily, thoughtfully prepared to nourish and energise your body, supporting your practice and your time of rest.
This retreat is an invitation to move gently from moment to moment — to trust the natural flow, release the need to plan, and allow yourself to simply be, letting everything unfold in its own rhythm and time.

If you wish to extend your stay,
we recommend exploring the villages and beaches of the Algarve coast or spending some time in Lisbon. A beautiful way to begin your journey could be the Sam Garrett concert in Lisbon on 15 May — an inspiring invitation to arrive, and gently tune into your retreat experience. You can find a short concert excerpt from Zurich here.
As we will be sharing the retreat center with another yoga group, we kindly invite you to enjoy a calm and quiet atmosphere, especially in the early mornings and during the night, so everyone can fully relax and rest.
All yoga sessions are included in the retreat price and are offered as an invitation rather than an obligation. You are warmly encouraged to listen to your needs and participate as feels right for you — whether that means joining every session or choosing to enjoy a longer morning or afternoon of rest or an evening out in town. Please note that retreat prices remain unchanged should you decide to skip individual sessions or meals.
This retreat program is offered with intention and care and may gently adapt as needed, always in support of the group’s well-being and overall experience.
