Yoga & Exploration Retreat in Portugal

Our yoga retreat in Portugal begins with 3 nights in Porto and Gaia, in the north of Portugal. We will explore the city’s historic landmarks, visit the Port wine caves of Gaia, and take a tour to the Duoro Valley. 

Heading south toward Lisbon, we’ll spend the last half of the week in Cascais, a coastal resort town just west of Lisbon. It’s known for its sandy beaches and is a former royal retreat area. We will visit Sintra to explore this unique city and its surrounding castles and palaces. And we’ll spend time in Lisbon, tasting food and wines, walking through the city’s most historic neighborhoods, soaking in Portugal’s beauty and culture!

Daily morning & some evening yoga sessions will help to reset our senses, grounding us between the present and the past!

ABOUT

Our week will kick-off with 3 nights in Porto, soaking in the local culture, exploring the history and architecture of the very hilly and beautiful cities! Porto and Gaia are connected by pedestrian bridges, providing gorgeous sunset views of both sides of the river. We will be tasting delicious Portuguese food and wine, visiting the Port wine cellars for port tasting, enjoying a Fado music experience and taking a day trip to the Duoro Valley, where the port wine grapes have been grown for centuries.

The next 4 nights will find us in Cascais. This is a beautiful coastal city. Our hotel is across from a sandy beach, and steps from the old town, filled with shops, restaurants, and a medieval fort. The area provides lots of opportunities for exploration or relaxation. We will visit the lovely hill town of Sintra to see ruins of an inverted well, incredible villas and uniquely whimsical palaces. We will spend time in Lisbon, where we’ll experience the beauty and history of the city. A guided city tour and food tour will provide us with an amazing overview of the history, architecture and culture of this area.

Daily morning & some evening yoga sessions will help to reset our senses, bringing relief to our tired feet and providing a balance to all the cultural and historical exploration!
