Location

Cercal, Portugal

Located in the protected area of Costa Vicentina, in Southwest Portugal, we are ideally situated among the countryside and the beach. Surrounded by nature, rolling pastoral hills with stretches of citrus, cork oak, and pine trees, it is a short 15minute drive to countless beautiful beaches, including some great surf spots. The closest being in the area of Vila Nova de Mil Fontes and Porto Covo. The picturesque town of Cercal is a short walk from us and will make you feel as though you went back in time, giving you a true sense of the Alentejo way of life. Within a short drive, you will find small villages such as Santiago do Cacem, Odemira, Santo Andre, and São Luís; all full of nature, history, interesting architecture, and local artisans.

Testimonials

info

Recently returned from the Cyoga Retreat in Portugal, and already looking forward to the next one! Catie is not only a great teacher—creative and attentive to individual journeys—but she also chooses the venue with great care so we benefit from a whole experience, from daily yoga practices to delicious meals, as well as a variety of extra activities nearby. Everyone felt very welcome from the start; we progressed in our practice, and by the end of the week it was clear we had gained in well‑being, wisdom, joy, and friendship.

CYoga is great. Impeccable organisation and attention to detail. Carefully chosen venues. Very well‑structured and taught classes that cater to all levels. Just booked my third retreat—can’t say more than this.

Neil G, England

Catie is one of my favourite teachers by far. I’ve been practicing yoga for over ten years and teaching for eight. I have learnt so much from Catie’s fountain of knowledge—not only from her extensive anatomy research and understanding but also from her physical exploration of her yoga practice, which deepens every time I see her. I regularly travel to attend Catie’s workshops and have even traveled to another country for her retreat. It’s always worth the time and effort, because I learn something new to enrich my own practice and something to pass on to my students whenever I’m in Catie’s presence. Thank you.
