Yoga & Nature Retreat to Portugal

Reconnect with nature and your inner self in Portugal. This Algarve yoga retreat offers a perfect blend of yoga, wellness, adventure, and self-discovery in one of the most enchanting locations. Located in the Algarve, Portugal’s southernmost region, our home for the week is surrounded by rolling hills, cork oak forests, and dramatic cliffs overlooking the sea. The gorgeous circular, light-filled yoga shala will inspire and support our practice and connection with nature while the cozy and simple rooms will offer a genuine retreat from life’s fast pace. Enjoy delicious and healthy cuisine and ample unstructured time to enjoy the beaches and explore the surrounding area. Optional free time activities will include hiking and nature walking, surfing, standup paddleboarding, scuba diving, horseback riding, reading and lounging in a hammock, spa treatments, and (for those with a rental car) exploring nearby towns and villages.

Pete Guinosso
Pete Guinosso, E-RYT 500, helps students connect with their hearts. His gentle guidance and intuitive assists allow students of all levels to step out of their comfort zones and find their own authentic paths in the practice. Pete’s classes offer strong, vigorous sequencing grounded in the breath and intention, and always leave room for playfulness and fun. Drawing from his years as a scientist, Pete approaches his practice with a sense of curiosity and wonder. He also draws from what initially brought him to the yoga mat: over 25 years of running, cycling, and competitive sports.     Pete's light-hearted exploration of going deeper on a path that is both physical and spiritual has created a thriving community of yogis in the San Francisco Bay area and around the world. ...

What are the accommodations like?

The holistic center is designed to offer all the comfort and space you need for your practices. The yoga space is made with round wood architecture and heated floor is inspired in by a space in the Brazilian rainforest, surrounded by nature. Between activities one can relax or study in a variety of calm and peaceful spaces that were placed for the purpose of joy and contemplation, all with amazing views to the surroundings. The rooms are cozy with simple decoration, all that is needed to let go and surrender to the space of being taken care of.
