5-day Yin and Yang Yoga Balance Retreat – Flow & Stillness in the Algarve, Portugal

In a beautiful oasis of energy, surrounded by a lush tropical garden, you can relax and recharge your batteries. The sea is about a 20-minute walk away. The Algarve is a true paradise in southern Portugal! Here, golden sandy beaches meet crystal clear waters, picturesque fishing villages meet charming towns, and unique landscapes meet a warm culture. The region is known for its breathtaking coastlines lined with majestic cliffs and secret coves. Historic towns such as Faro, Lagos, and Tavira enchant visitors with their welcoming atmosphere.
The perfect place to relax, explore, and enjoy unforgettable experiences. Accommodation is in a large glamping tent (4-5m diameter & standing height), nestled in the tropical garden, or in the villa, which is built in the typical Algarve style with lots of arches and spacious rooms.
All rooms/tents are spacious and lovingly furnished with a view of the garden. The rooms/tents can be booked as single or double rooms. Depending on the booking, the bathrooms with shower/bathtub are shared or for private use.

There is a large lounge in the villa for relaxing and socializing, as well as several sun terraces. A pool in the garden invigorates the senses and the large garden with yoga platform invites you to linger. Classes are mainly held outdoors.

We are spoiled by experienced Ayurvedic chef Volker Kolacek. Delicious, lovingly prepared Ayurvedic-inspired vegetarian food, served on the sun terrace overlooking the sea when the weather is nice, nourishes your body and soul. Brunch and dinner are offered, and snacks such as fruit and nuts are available for those who feel peckish between meals.
We offer osmosis water, teas with fresh herbs from the garden, as well as coffee and juices. We are happy to accommodate any food intolerances.

During these five days, you are invited to explore the deeper facets of your masculine and feminine sides. Experience yourself in stillness and movement, in activity and passivity, in giving and receiving. What you can expect: *Daily long yoga practice (Yin and Yang Yoga)
*Exciting self-awareness workshops and challenges *Times of silence *Plenty of space for yourself and group exchange *Lovingly prepared vegetarian food by experienced Ayurvedic chef Volker Kolacek *Summery warm temperatures in Portugal's blossoming spring *Beautiful beaches and coastal landscapes in the Algarve
