Yoga... Our 7 night Relaxing Surf & Yoga Package offers an excellent detailed introduction to Hatha flow yoga for beginners and the chance to dive deeper into more advanced practice. Our sessions are held in the morning, either down by the sea in the early morning or in our indoor yoga studio. In the afternoon we practice Yin yoga down at the nature park just near The Salty Pelican. Practicing Hatha flow & Yin yoga will help to harmonise the nervous system, increase your sense of balance with the body & mind and strengthen your lymphatic system. There is no yoga scheduled on Mondays or Thursday afternoons to give you the time to enjoy either some other activities we offer or go exploring Lisbon city or the beautiful national park of Sintra. You can join your first included yoga class on your arrival date in the late afternoon, if it does not fall on a Monday on Thursday. 

 

Morning Hatha Yoga... Experience revitalising Hatha flow yoga sequences in the morning down by the sea to give you all the energy and focus you need for the day. Our in-house yoga instructors will help develop muscular strength, stamina, flexibility, balance, and breathing. They will bring balance to your body and mind during our morning practice, so that we build our bodies to be light and strong. The mental benefits of yoga include an increased sense of focus and awareness to the human form and body. This practice is for all level yogis.... You don’t need any earlier experience. * Our indoor yoga studio will be used in case of bad weather.

Afternoon Yin Yoga & Meditation... In the late afternoon we start with a gentle meditation session in a beautiful nature reserve before beginning our practice. Yin yoga which focuses on increasing your inner peace, harmony, love and joy. We hold long deep postures with a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Almost every posture is done at floor level and the stretches will maintain for 2-5 minutes at a time. This will take us deeply into our connective tissue expanding flexibility and aiding healing energy to our bodies. This practice is for everyone and it's a beautiful way to start your yoga journey. * Our indoor yoga studio will be used in case of bad weather.
