Centro de retiro de ioga

This remote valley in Portugal is all I could want for a yoga retreat in beautiful nature. The owners have established a well run organisation by hiring in staff to provide classes, meals and activities such as massages, cooking classes and meditation walks. Tom, our yoga teacher coped well with a wide age range (23-72)of participants urging us to be mindful of what our bodies were telling us and what we were capable of doing. There were two yoga sessions per day which by the time we climbed the steep path to the yoga room and dining room we were already well exercised. My gut reacted in a positive way to the change to a largely vegan diet. Themeditation walks led by Andrew reminded us of our strong connection to nature and how by walking in the countryside we could raise our awareness of our bodies and the possibilities of using our senses to enjoy more of what life offers.

We were there as tourists, for one led primary. The shala is amazing, really cozy and practical. The teacher is traditional, but not too strict. I can only recommend.

This place is a home away from home! It truly deserves all the 5-star ratings - the people, the practice, the community it creates in just a week (and the community Almashala has year-round), it's amazing. This is a retreat for being IN the practice, authentically about yoga - Lavi & Samu are incredible teachers, and balanced so well the ability to teach all experience levels at once. I was always really engaged in the practices, and loved how we were exposed to many different styles.The food was delicious, the massage package was SO worth it, and for free time there were plenty of things to do especially if you enjoy exploring by walking. There's also a really cool far-away view of Mafra Palace, rolling farmlands, and the beaches are incredibly beautiful! Sintra forest is a short bus ride away, as well as Ericeira. Almashala is perfect to be chill and secluded, yet close to other activities and sights.Coming from the US to a quiet part of Portugal, I was crossing my fingers it would just work out okay - well, did it ever!! Awaiting my next time!

Bereits 2019 habe ich Urlaub im Slide Surfcamp gemacht. Nun war ich ein zweites Mal da und mein positiver Eindruck wurde bestätigt. Das Surfcamp liegt direkt am Meer und überzeugt mit den netten Gastgebern und der ausgiebigen Verpflegung. Der Surflehrer bringt jeden individuell weiter und hat immer einen lockeren Spruch auf den Lippen. Mein Highlight war die Camphündin Nalu, die sich gerne von jedem verwöhnen lässt. Ich komme sicher wieder!

The best (and cleanest) spa in the Algarve. It is possible to join for a week (EUR 35) or month (EUR 70), which includes very well taught classes such as Pilates and yoga. Excellent, non-chemical facials and wonderful massages. Good personal trainers. Hugely friendly and helpful staff.

What a difference it has made for me this year to learn more about mindful practices with Katalin. She offers so much - yoga classes on line, yoga on the beach, courses to help women entrepreneurs with overwhelm and anxiety. I am looking forward to retreats in person in 2021.

This school is for me the REAL YOGA. Mukta directly comes from India, teaching in Europe, and shares his practical knowledge, wisdom and experiences from his heart to demystify spirituality, meditation, tantra and kundalini yoga, and how to put these teachings into daily life for a deep transformation.I am so grateful for his teaching and feel more peaceful, relax and easy with myself and who I am, as I learnt many tools for life, how to feel more free in my mind and heart.I highly recommend his course for anyone looking for true yoga with a proper teacher/Master from the East, who embodies that wisdom and help you grow with it.

Such a paradise in Portugal! If you are looking for a nature retreat, where the sound of birds and crickets will be the surrounding you, that's the place. I only stayed two days but Petra and Harold made me feel as part of the family. They were nice enough to arrange me lifts since I traveled with no car. Delicious food and morning yoga will keep you energized to enjoy the day in peace. Lovely place to read meditate write or just relax in the shadows. The tent was much better than I expected ( luxury camping) and the bed is super comfortable - better then many hotels. I will come back for sure! Thanks for having me

If you’re looking for a taste of paradise, don’t look further. This is such a peaceful place amidst the abundant nature of Portugal. The hosts are exceptional. With their attention to detail, art and spirituality, you’re in for a transcendent experience. Add the amazing view of the stars at night, and you’re zen retreat is complete.
