Program
Overview
Escape to the beautiful Land of Deveza, in the heart of Portugal, for a week filled with yoga, relaxation, delicious meals, and a serene atmosphere.
Yoga teacher Maïwenn offers modern yoga suitable for everyone: Vinyasa and Yin Yoga with a touch of sophrology and influences from Ayurveda. She invites you to enjoy a yoga experience focused on returning to yourself, body awareness, and relaxation. The goal is not to achieve perfect poses, but to listen—or re-listen—to your body, to take care of yourself, and most importantly, to give yourself a genuine break. A week to slow down and, why not, apply this new balance to your daily life.
The yoga styles and classes will suit you whether you are a beginner or an experienced yogi. The lessons combine dynamic movements, stretching exercises, and deep relaxation through body awareness and breathing. The idea here is primarily to recharge your batteries and, with spring's arrival, gain new energy! During your stay, enjoy three delicious, nutritious meals a day, prepared with local, organic ingredients. Additionally, enjoy excursions to the most beautiful spa in Portugal, breathtaking waterfalls, and a local organic quinta for wine tasting.
