September 18-23, 2004

Breathe Deep. Unwind. Sustain.

Imagine waking to a symphony of birdsong, whispering pines, and the sweet Portuguese air filling your lungs. Unfurl your mat in our sun-drenched shala, the forest's scent a calming embrace. Nurture your body with a Ying and Yang yoga practice, deepen your meditation and discover how to sustain a meditative state even off the mat.

Learn how to make your yoga practice truly sustainable for your body through insightful workshops. Explore the local village, rest your bones in our woodland sauna, hike breathtaking coastal trails, or simply soak up the sun by the pool or on the beach.

Unwind each-day with restorative yoga and deep relaxation, resetting your nervous system for lasting peace and rejuvenation.

This retreat is more than a vacation, it's a transformation.
