Luxury yoga retreats in a very special place in Portugal: you are invited!
Dear yoga friends,
Many of you have been asking me about running retreats abroad and I have been hesitant to do so until I found the right fit for us. As you know I am scientist committed to teaching practices that are grounded in integrity and evidence-based results. As you also know I love hosting in beautiful venues that have amazing facilities with opportunities for relaxing and adventure, connection and fun!
Dr Eva and I met at one of our Full Moon Meditations where I tucked her in under a blanket on a yoga mat under a blue sky one summer evening and she promptly slept for the session. It was the beginning of a friendship grounded in our shared passion for good health. Since then I have visited her stunning Health Hotel in Portugal, learnt more about the incredible work she does there supporting guests with weight loss, and explored how we can indulge guests with supportive practices on retreat and help them maintain continuity with daily practices at home.
Many of us go to a yoga retreat simply for relaxation, yoga, sun and fun. Solar Alvura offers all the luxury of a 5* hotel, the healthy, locally-sourced food is abundant, the bar is open, the infinity pool awaits you!
Not just your typical yoga retreat, however, you are nourished and supported by the most incredible healthy food in Dr Eva’s Health Hotel with the option to add on a medically supervised weight-loss diet, or a ketogenic diet for the keto-curious, into the programme.
The 5-night retreat includes 6 days of yoga, twice a day on most days, meditation, relaxation and mindfulness practices, all your delicious healthy locally sourced food prepared by the amazing chef, and all of the facilities of the stunning hotel. Offering optional excursions as a group, there are lots of choices to add on excursions or extras; massage, spa, gym, steam and beauty facilities are all on-site. Local towns and beaches are a short taxi ride away.
The first one is running in late June, I’ll be posting all the dates in the coming days. Prices are designed to be as affordable as possible with options to upgrade the package to a larger room or suite, or to upgrade the package to include a medically-supervised weight loss aspect to your programme. The intention is to run the retreats almost monthly, almost year-round, so it is something you can plan or do at short notice, a home away from home that can become your refuge. Portugal is only a short hop from Dublin, the hotel is about half an hour from Faro airport.
More details on the way soon dear friends. In the meantime please email me, comment here or shout out on social media so I can start to get excited about building our tribe in the sunny Algarve. You are most welcome!
Looking forward so much to seeing you there. xS
