Words can have a positive or a negative impact on your mind and body.The words we use to communicate with others, the words we use to describe our experiences, the words we choose for our inner dialogue, the words that slip out during intense moments.
What are the words, even the ones left unspoken, that flood your brain throughout your day? Can you remember them? Maybe you can only feel their weight.
How do the words of others affect you? Do you know why they affect you? Maybe you can only feel their embrace, maybe their sting.
Through a conscious routine of yoga, surf and nutrition we will create positive and relaxed moments for a deep and gentle connection to ourselves. By creating a safe space we reflect on the words that will join us through our individual and collective experience. The words of moments in the water, on the surfboard, at the table (maybe through big and delicious bites), on the mat, out in nature, in a massage.
During our magical week let yourself be guided through your own world. Allow your body to be soft and your mind to pause so that you can connect with your true self, so that you can live your everyday life grounded and conscious of how you exist in this world.
If you need a pause, if you need yourself, come and join us.
Sintra is a natural beauty. A combination of lush forests, rolling hills, and its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, the picturesque area provides a serene and rejuvenating environment – predestined for retreats. The climate and weather conditions allow for both, comfortable yoga practice, lots of surfing, and a wealth of outdoor activities. Our main retreat location is “The Peak House”, the perfect spot for peaceful and tranquil yoga sessions and to indulge in meditation, laughter, fun and self-discovery.
The retreat offers different classes of yoga sessions conducted by experienced instructors daily. The classes will take place in an open air shala allowing participants to connect with the nature around while practicing yoga.
For the surfing lessons, regardless of your surfing experience, you will receive professional surfing guidance. Qualified instructors who have the ocean in their DNA and sun in their hearts, will guide you with joy and enthusiasm through the basics or help improve your skills.
Healthy meals are a crucial aspect of the retreat. The menu is created with love by our chef who personally picks recipes built on locally sourced, fresh, and organic ingredients, promoting a healthy and balanced diet.
