Nature Yoga Retreat in Portugal

Join a unique yoga and guided nature walk opportunity in Alcoutim, a less traveled part of east Algarve, just 95 kilometers from Faro. The focus of the retreat is to re-connect to oneself through yoga and mindfulness practices, the simple joy of connecting to nature and a bit of local culture through guided walks along the Guadiana river and amidst the spring wildflowers, and the opportunity to enjoy connecting with a group of like-minded people. Although the retreat will offer optional activities such a a boat trip along the river and a ziplining experience across the river, there will also be time to relax, read, journal, and center.
