A magical yoga and meditation retreat in rural Portugal
24th-28th May 2019
I'm so excited to announce that I will be teaching a five day retreat with my dear friend Jonelle Lewis. We've wanted to do this for ages and finally we're making it happen!
Hosted by Chia Retreats, we will be hidden away from distraction, in the mountains of rural Portugal. Let us raise your vibrations with a blissful weekend of focused practice, delicious regional food, beautiful scenery and great company. A nourishing experience, to leave you feeling refreshed and full.
Our retreat days begin with a group meditation, followed by a strong and fluid vinyasa flow class. After spending the day exploring the breathtaking grounds or local towns and villages, afternoon workshops are gentle and nurturing.
Each practitioner will be closely supported and guided on their journey, receiving a high level of individual attention. Beginners are absolutely welcome!
Venue
The retreat takes place in a private manor house that 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 house is exclusively for our guests on this retreat. The property includes comfortable en-suite bedrooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis court and a lake. Recently, a pavillion was built near the swimming-pools and surrounded by gardens to provide an dedicated place for your daily yoga practice. It's just a short two hour flight to Porto, and an hour to the venue, so traveling time is minimum.
Location
The house is located in the oldest village of Portugal known for its exclusive production of Vinho Verde wine. The house is situated 43 miles from Porto airport, 45 miles from the city of Porto, 12 miles to the beach, 3 miles to the village of Ponte de Lima and 35 miles to Parque Nacional Peneda-Geres.
Food
Our chef and team offer a creative and special Mediterranean cuisine using products of the highest quality with local, organic, seasonal fruit and vegetables.
