Details
This program was created for women who are looking for a place to truly rest and to connect their yoga practice to their feminine nature. Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidrā, Mindfulness and Traditonal Chinese Medicine are the main elements of this 4 night retreat. A program for women who want to practice under the influences of Yin Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, creative Yoga Nidrā, Mantra and Nāda (sound). This retreat design envisions a gentle rhythm, a good balance of dynamic but mostly restorative practices — the invitation is to savour the present, to reestablish energetic harmony, and connect with the body&nature´s wisdom. There will be time to be with nature. Surrounded by forest and ocean, the setting itself supports this slowing down, inviting you to listen inward and return to what feels authentic. Two guest teachers will develop special sessions dedicated to women´s health and wellbeing through the lenses of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Mindfulness.

Palmas Lodge is a country house between Aljezur and Lagos. It is nested in a welcoming native forest of old trees, 10 min away from wild beaches where the energy of the Atlantic is felt and "where the sun is present for at least 300 days of the year." Here you will find the most beautiful wild beaches, and if you like to surf, you will be at the right place. At the property there is a beautiful shala with windows facing the forest, a place you won´t want to leave. The sleeping rooms are simple and sweet en-suites. Triple, double or single options are available.
