Summer Retreat in Portugal: July 26th- 30th 2018:
Venue and location:
The manor house is situated 43 miles from Porto airport, 12 miles to the beach and just 3 miles to the village of Ponte de Lima.
The manor house dates back to the 17th century with recent reconstruction bringing you all the comforts of modern contemporary life. This rural property is set in 16 acres of gorgeous, green and natural scenery.
The property includes comfortable en-suite bedrooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a tennis court and a lake. Recently, a pavillion was built near the swimming-pools and surrounded by gardens to provide a dedicated place for your daily yoga practice.
Food:
Breakfast/brunch late morning after yoga.
Snacks, fruit and teas available throughout the afternoon.
Cooked vegetarian/vegan dinner every night after yoga, includes Wine.
We can easily cater for any dietary requirements due to the fact that we have a chef cooking only for our group!
Things to do and weather:
Hot! It’s summer, so plenty of sunbathing if that’s what you like to do : )
The house has an indoor and outdoor pool. It’s situated right near a lagoon and surrounded by greenery and vine yards.
You can enjoy walks, sight seeing, tennis, or just lounging around by the pool.
The retreat host’s will be able to arrange and organise any activities that students would like to get involved in.
I encourage students to do whatever they like on my retreats - it’s about YOU and what you enjoy on holiday!
Yoga:
A daily morning practice - strong vinyasa flow (90mins)
A daily evening practice - Yin/Restorative (90mins)
All levels are welcome, be prepared to work hard, be challenged and sweat in the morning sessions! The evenings are deeply relaxing and restorative….
I like to focus on developing yogi’s and allowing them to reach their full potential. This retreat is a place to relax and restore but also to learn and grow….
