At 9 a.m., you will have a rich and healthy breakfast that is vegetarian and vegan-friendly. At 5 p.m. you will have another yoga session, focusing either on a calmer, restorative yoga or working on specific postures in a group or independently on postures you like to improve or develop.
At 6:30 p.m., you will have dinner together. In your free time, you have the possibility to go to the beach, surfing, stand-up paddling, canoeing, hiking, horseback riding, visit some places around, or just stay at the lodge relax in the hammock at the riverside, or book a massage with one of the massage therapist. During your day, you get a lunch package to plan your day independently.
If you like to visit some places around, they can recommend for example the "Ponta da Piedade" a stunning rock formation at the coastline in Lagos, visiting the southwest end of Europe in Sagres and the nearby unique beaches or visiting the Monchique mountains with its different flora and fauna and the small town where they still do some traditional handicrafts.
Should you like to get a message Cachopas - Yoga Nature Lodge can book it for you with their massage therapist who is experienced in deep tissue, Swedish, or Ayurvedic massage.
The retreats have the intention to bring yoga in its wholeness closer to you and to inspire you to integrate the yogic practice into your daily lives in order to live a more peaceful, fulfilled, healthy, relaxed, and mindful life in harmony with you, yourself, and your surrounding. As an experienced yoga instructor and a passion for healthy food, Cachopas offer all out of their hand.
The yoga style Cachopas teaches is Hatha yoga, based on Iyengar yoga where they focus on the symmetry of the body and good posture, working with hands-on adjustments. Classes are adapted to the level of the participants and can vary, being more fluent and dynamic or more mindful and calmer with attention to specific postures and own yoga practice.
