THE ALGARVE
The Algarve, Portugal is a stunning destination that is known for its breathtaking coastline, calming atmosphere, secluded beaches and rural landscape – making it an ideal place for retreating.
In the heart of the region you’ll find the city of Lagos, which is one of the most beautiful places in the region. It’s mostly known for its majestic rock formations, towering above the crystal clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The coastline consists of secluded beaches and hidden coves, making it a perfect place to find peace and quiet.
Lagos is one of my favorite places in the world, which is why a one-day visit is included in the retreat. We’ll explore its cliffs and beaches, starting our day with a yoga session at beautiful Meia Praia – a beach that is known for the serene and calming atmosphere.. Afterwards you’ll be able to sunbathe, swim in the crystal blue waters or explore the old town of Lagos. We’ll end our day at one of the best Portuguese restaurants for dinner with sea view.

WHY BIKRAM YOGA?
Bikram Yoga involves a set sequence of 26 postures and two breathing exercises, which makes it easy for beginners to follow and learn. The consistency allows them to focus on improving their practice over time without needing to learn new sequences each class.
The temperature (around 40°C) in Bikram Yoga classes helps to warm up muscles, making it easier and safer for beginners to stretch and improve flexibility. This environment allows for deeper stretches and can reduce the risk of injury.
The practice helps beginners build strength and flexibility gradually, as each posture builds on the previous one. This systematic approach ensures that the entire body is engaged, promoting overall physical fitness.
Bikram Yoga encourages mental discipline through concentration and breathing techniques, which can help beginners manage stress and improve mental clarity. The meditative aspect of the practice supports emotional well-being.
Accessible for All Levels: Classes are designed for everyone, regardless of fitness level or experience. Beginners can work at their own pace, and the repetitive nature of the practice allows them to gradually increase their intensity and depth over time.
