Yoga almond blossom week
The Algarve shines white and pink in February, when thousands of blossoming almond trees welcome spring. According to an Algarvian tale, a Moorish prince had all these trees planted to soothe his beloved princess's homesickness for the white snow of her homeland. And this delicate natural spectacle still opens our hearts and lets us experience spring in the middle of a German winter!
The program
Our joint daily program includes an extensive yoga session in the yoga lounge, in the garden or on the roof terrace with a distant view of the vastness of the Atlantic. The gentle sound of the sea breeze accompanies our asanas and the pure Atlantic air refreshes our breathing. In our yoga classes, we pay attention to a balance between relaxation and challenge, and as we always practise in manageable groups, we can respond well to each individual. The style of Integral Yoga includes all areas of yoga such as asanas (physical exercises), pranayama (breathing exercises), deep relaxation and meditation. Sometimes dynamic, sometimes static, always accompanied by the calm breath that carries us through the asanas.
In the evening, the vegetarian dinner prepared by our retreat's own chef will entice you with a view over the illuminated pool into the evening atmosphere of the Mediterranean garden.
You will experience the magic of the almond blossom up close on two fantastic walks together, one near the coast and one in the traditional cultivated land of the Algarve. We will show you the Algarve from its original, natural side!
Yoga teacher
Experiencing yoga in nature is an almost magical combination. We are all part of nature, and in an untouched natural landscape we feel our body as part of the elements, the mind becomes calm and balanced, the soul laughs. A healthy mixture of traditional, integral Hatha yoga, paired with dynamic elements of other styles form the basis of our classes. We always look for a good balance between relaxation and challenge, paired with a lot of love and dedication.
In her loving classes, Stefanie Drebing combines dynamic and calm elements with her knowledge of the anatomy and functioning of the human body and uses creative variations to create the perfect framework for everyone to fully immerse themselves in yoga.
