Accommodation

Location & surroundings
The Algarve is a coastal paradise in the southwest of Europe and is still a tip among yoga travelers. Dreamy sandy bays, bizarre cliff formations and the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean form the natural backdrop for a deeply relaxing yoga vacation!

The accommodation
The Ocean Retreat is located directly by the sea near the village of Alvor in the center of the rocky Algarve. Nestled in a Mediterranean park, the stylish complex is located above the sandy beach and offers a variety of accommodation with and without a view of the Atlantic, depending on your taste. The Seaview Lounge, our spacious communal area, is the center of the retreat: here our retreat chef serves his creative buffets and we come together to enjoy the private pool or the sunset. A highlight of the retreat is the large, bright yoga pavilion "The Wave", with distant views across the Atlantic to Lagos.

Catering

Our retreat's own chefs provide us with an extensive, fresh brunch buffet after yoga. On four evenings there is also a creative dinner, e.g. Italian, Asian or Mexican. And always delicious vegetarian. In addition, there is always a generously filled fruit bowl for everyone in the lounge.

Program & schedule
In the morning, you will enjoy a varied breakfast buffet in the Yoganature Seaview Lounge. Our daily program together begins in the late morning with 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 your breathing. In our classes, we pay attention to a healthy mix of relaxation and challenge, and as we always practice in manageable groups, we can respond very well to each individual. Integral yoga encompasses 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 exercises.

We - Stefanie and Oliver - teach alternately or together, so you experience both male and female energies in yoga.

Yoga teacher
Stefanie Drebing and Oliver Kulter
With his calm manner, Oliver Kulter creates the ideal framework for powerful, concentrated yoga classes and leads you to inner serenity.

In her loving classes, Stefanie Drebing combines dynamic and grounding 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 engage with yoga.

Theme & yoga style
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 seek a good balance between relaxation and challenge, paired with a lot of love and dedication. Our yoga journeys are suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

Everything is just right here: the small complex with the pool, the yoga offer on site and on the cliffs, the catering. Simply a place to feel good.
