In the evening after a splendid day of surfing, there will be a restorative session, calming the senses and relaxing the body. The surf will give you a chance to connect with the Ocean & see some of the most beautiful beaches around. Connecting this all together is the wonderful food we will share. Based on a healthy, nourishing diet. Mostly organic & seasonal and definitely absolutely delicious. Cooking a smorgasbord of different dishes so that everyone can have a choice of what they enjoy and even people with dietary allergies & intolerances will be in for a treat.

Combining all of these is the ultimate lifestyle for her. She tries using these passions to deeply connect with the beautiful nature around her and within her. Her teaching is based on proper alignment, verbal, and precise hands-on adjustments and bringing inner awareness into her student’s practice. She creates a warm, safe, and loving space, so that yoga becomes a spiritual practice and connection for each of her students.

All the retreats will be held in an amazing house amidst nature on the southwest coast of Portugal right in the middle of the Costa Vicentina natural park.
