Yoga Retreat Sintra, Portugal May 17-24, 2015


Yoga on Holiday
Retreat in Portugal
The Beautiful Beaches of Sintra

Found:  Another beautiful destination to practice yoga on retreat
May 17-24, 2015

From the airport in Lisbon, the staff at The Lodge will pick you up and in 30 minutes you are in Praia Grande, the big beach, on golden sands, looking up at dazzling cliffs and watching the sun dance on the waves of the Sintra coastline.  

The Lodge is beautifully situated up on the cliffs and about a 10-minute walk down to the beach.
In the grounds of The Lodge we find a landscaped oasis inside freshly painted terra cotta walls, outside a rugged natural paradise.  Palms and flowering plants, large green spaces that just ask you to practice yoga under the sun and shade.  A pool, sauna, and jacuzzi for relaxing or relieving aching muscles after a myriad of sports activities available by the staff, or which can be arranged for you by the staff:  surfing, climbing, mountain biking. More

Details for our retreat!
The rates below include a fabulous breakfast each morning with many home-made specialities.


The Lodge encourages participants who are taking advantage of the sports activities also to make a sandwich/lunch from the breakfast table so you can have a meal on the road in your activity.  Dinner is on our own.


For the yoga week, my rate is lower as my expenses are lower- getting myself to Lisbon (as opposed to the work I do on Milos), so I can offer the yoga week at 200 euros, if you book early, by Feb 1, 2015. On top of the rates you see below.  If you book after Feb 1, the yoga week is 250 euros.


There will be a 90 minute class each am before breakfast and an evening time to be determined on the request of the group vis-a-vis any sport activities you are choosing.  The rate os fixed for the week.

We found very reasonable  flights on Vueling last year:  http://www.vueling.com/es

If you are unfamiliar with the Sintra area, it's indeed worth a Google search to see all there is to offer there.  It's a wild natural place with it's own ecosystem and many cultural UNESCO heritage sites, as well.  We are not far from Cabo de Roca.   

The price includes breakfast, lunchpack, and use of the facilities like pool, 2x jacuzzi, 2x sauna, archery range etc., fresh fruit and tea all day, use of communal kitchen and bbq area.
