Body and Mind Therapy

The physiotherapist is Ricardo Monteiro, a Certified Physiotherapist, and Osteopath. He will take care of you, using different techniques and tools according to what your body needs.

The holistic therapist is Giada Carlucci, she is a yogi and a movement therapist who uses the mind-body approach to expand awareness through conscious touch. 

She landed on Arun Conscious Touch 3 years ago and this changed her body awareness, completing her own healing process. The essence of touch is always a presence. It is sharing meditation that happens between the one who gives and the one who receives. They use the touch to promote health, flexibility, and sesitivity; the body restores itself bringing you a new vision, providing energy to your day to day and consciousness expands allowing inner observation.

Almashala is located in a strategic location. Pure nature is a few steps away from its door.

The Sintra reserve is one of the most suggestive natural attraction of all Portugal, and it offers infinite walking and trekking routes. From there, you can get to the beach by foot, passing through an enchanting path in the forest, or following the river and getting lost in the valley.

Almashala loves to do walking meditation in nature, enjoying the peace and silence of the forest. They also love to do the beach walk. This area is famous for its 11 kilometers of coastline and 13 beaches, most of them located in the picturesque fishing village of Ericeira. If you love nature, this is the place for you.

A balanced and healthy diet is as important as the practice for Almashala. Almashala also works in farming, gardening. Portugal has rich and fertile soil, they don't need to add anything. Almashala has been inspired by permaculture and biodynamics and they are totally committed to organic production. Ideally, a yogic diet would be rich in sattvic foods.

Sattvic foods are generally fresh vegetables, grains, and legumes, mild spices, and mildly sweet foods. According to Ayurveda, this is the best diet for a yogi to adopt. It helps keep the mind clear and Sattvic and makes you feel good physically and emotionally. as opposed to rajastic or tamasic. The food that Almashala provide follows these lines, most of the raw material come from our garden and all the receipts are inspired by a low sugar diet approach.
