In Your Element Yoga Retreat

This retreat will allow you to explore the 5 elements with us. The style of Yoga we teach is a mixture of Vinyasa flow (emphasizing the rising of the sun, energetic, focus on pranayama/breathing and meditation) and Yin (emphasizing the moon,restorative, relaxing, stretching) the former in the morning, the latter in the afternoon. The reference to the elements is simple. The elements are what we are made of, our essence:

Space – The container for everything. It is pure possibility and potential Air – Movement, expansion and lightness. The breath in and out of the body. Fire – Discipline, transformation, inspiration. Water – Fluidity, connection, adaptability. Earth – Earth is home.

THE LOCATION Monte Orada retreat center is located at Portugal’s Southwest Atlantic Coast, bordering Algarve, it combines an amazing set of spectacular wild surf beaches and the Authentic Countryside tranquility of Alentejo. 1,5 hours away from Faro airport and 2,5 hours away from Lisbon. This isolated evergreen valley creates an abundant oasis where two creeks come together, as a womb, to nourish an ancient lush forest and wildlife vistas.
