YOGA, BREATH WORK
& COOKING RETREAT
NEAR THE BEAUTIFUL BEACHES OF THE SW COAST OF PORTUGAL
JUNE 15TH-18TH 2023
Our Yoga, Breath Work & Cooking & Retreat is one of the most popular retreats we host. In this retreat you will really come to understand many fundamental aspects of asana (yoga postures) and how they work to help YOU as an individual in your own practice.
​
You will also have your pulse taken daily and you will also go deep into pranayama (breath work). As you leave the retreat you will be grounded and focused in this and have a better understanding of what is going on inside of you.
​
This is an incredible opportunity to deepen, learn, rest, rejuvenate, enjoy and most of all relax. This retreat will take place at Quinta Camarena, a tranquil retreat space situated in a pine forest yet in the centre of a great beach town, Cercal Do Alentejo.
​
You also have the benefit of adding additional services such as massages and reiki to allow yourself to be pampered. Go for an amazing dip in the pool, go horse riding or surf at the beach or simply enjoy the endless views from the Hammocks - this is truly paradise.
​
The food will be vegetarian and whilst it is not fully gluten free we will provide some options. All our food will be cooked with love and the talented Anita Cunha will be gracing us with her cooking skills to learn from and to sample!
​
We offer different types of ONSITE accommodation and OFFSITE / DAY PASSES as well. Please scroll down for the different options.
