Yoga Retreat In Portugal

Setúbal is Portugal’s best-kept secret with beautiful coastlines of turquoise water. Each day on this retreat begins with a morning yoga practice — a blend of postures with breath work and meditation. All levels of yoga experience are welcome... beginners, longtime practitioners, and everyone in between. After our morning practice, we’ll explore Setubal’s beautiful coastal environment with various optional outings. Dinners are prepared by a local cook on 4 nights and the other two night we’ll eat out in the coastal town of Setubal.
Optional outings include:
-
Kayaking the clear waters of Arrábida Natural Park
-
Hiking dramatic seaside cliffs
-
E-Bike riding through charming coastal towns
enjoying beautiful beaches
-
Shopping local markets

Dolphin watching or sunset cruise in the Sado Estuary
