We are excited to invite you to join us on a Yoga & Nature Adventure Retreat in the beautiful Algarve! This unique experience will provide an opportunity to combine yoga, relaxation, cultural experiences, and adventure.

The region is protected by mountains to the North and bordered by the sea to the South offering 125 miles of coastline carved with cliffs, long sandy beaches, and spectacular views. Plus, with a mild climate and tranquil atmosphere, and cuisine which is home to 6 Michelin Star restaurants, Algarve boasts multiple persuasive reasons to visit.
