Although this week we spend a lot of time on the yoga mat (5 hours a day), this retreat is more than just a yoga retreat. The Yoga Delight Retreat grew out of my own personal path connecting to my truth, my inner power, my potential and the question of what could it possibly be that the universe wants to move through me. The practice of yoga offers an amazing tool to open and soften the body, so that I will be able to hear the whispers of the universe.
For many people in the past this retreat was a turning point in their life. For the transformation to happen I do ask you to come with a willingness to go deep and to open and soften, so you can feel.
Daily we will practice 5 hours of yoga in the form of meditation, asanas (poses), pranayama (breathing exercises) and yoga nidra, but also we’ll dive into emotional work. Beside this program, there is time to relax at the pool, walk to the beach, swim in the ocean and spoil yourself silly with massages.
Algarve Yoga has developed a simple and effective concept that they believe will make this retreat a pure unforgettable bliss with yoga, meditation, relaxation, and delicious vegetarian food, all surrounded by an amazing oceanic environment. This holiday is all about having fun with yoga and will also teach you how to benefit and enjoy the vitality and good health that the yoga lifestyle has to offer.

Our Yoga Delight Holidays are held at the charming Portuguese Quinta da Rosa near Salema. Situated in the hills of southern Portugal, the house is a stellar spot for a yoga holiday. It boasts a lovely meditation rock garden, a private swimming pool, an outside yoga deck and a number of relaxing and shaded outdoor terraces. The rooms are very spacious with high ceilings, arched windows, and lovely mahogany floors and doors. It is a very charming and modern house that has a classic and vintage style. If possible, the yoga practice will be on the shaded outside deck, but some 'yoga on the beach' sessions might be an option.
The house has 5 rooms and they can be divided into single, double or shared rooms. 3 showers and toilets are shared.
The shared rooms sleep up to 4 yogis (same gender). The double room can be shared with one person of the same gender or friend/partner.
