Quinta Carvalhas, Mato de Miranda, Portugal
The retreats we host at Quinta Carvalhas aren’t just a few nights “on holiday”. They're designed for transformation. They’re created to shift your energy and grow the relationship you have with yourself.
Together we bring a wealth of teaching and learning experience that comes to life when it is shared. This is experienced especially in a retreat setting where we get to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of Yoga, away from the daily distractions and challenges of everyday life.
All it takes is one retreat to change, reset and transform…
Who is this retreat for:
This retreat is for all yoga students: including those that are new to yoga and those with an established practice, couples, friends, really anyone wishing to deepen their practice, and understanding of Yoga as a way of being, as a philosophy and for living life as the best human possible.
The Yoga Shala
The indoor yoga shala is a beautifully restored, climate-controlled stone barn, offering a peaceful, private world in which to meditate and practice asana.
Each class and session during this retreat is designed as a transformative and embodied journey through the body, breath and mind.
We will explore the meaning and relevance of asanas ( physical yoga), meditation, breath work (pranayama) and mantra in the context of Yoga philosophy. Classes will blend elements of Vinyasa, Intuitive Movement, and Bhakti Yoga. Vinyasa practices will rejuvenate body and mind, making space for clarity and inspiration.
You’ll be supported with bolsters, blankets and straps. All equipment provided including yoga mats.
A Peaceful Holistic Haven
We are so excited to host you at Portugal's most beautiful Yoga retreat. Set on an idyllic organic farm that features an olive orchard, a huge fire pit and two beautiful, bespoke yoga shalas.
