The Venue
wellness spa resort
We’ll be staying at the luxurious exquisite and high end resort, located in the serene mountainous landscape in the heart of the Algarve. This exclusive wellness retreat features infra-red sauna, a Finnish sauna, a hammam, a massage lounge, a meditation lounge, a jacuzzi, a salt water swimming pool, an ice bath and many amazing lounge areas.
The perfect place to relax, restore and unwind.
Yoga and calisthenics
It’s time to reconnect with our bodies. While we practice physical yoga poses, we also use asanas and movements as tools to explore, adapt, learn, and grow. During the movement workshops, we will engage in playful exercises across all planes of motion, just like we did when we were younger.
Through simple exercises using only our body weight, we will challenge our balance, coordination, mobility, and strength. These practices will ultimately enhance our everyday movements, making them stronger and more confident. Whether it’s getting up, squatting to pick something up, running, hanging, or jumping, these movements help reduce the risk of injury and improve overall quality of life.

She wants to encourage people to live a healthy lifestyle through yoga, mobility and movement to enhance the joint’s mobility. Her class combines modern movements and mindfulness. She gives various modifications. She believes that ‘yoga is not about the poses, so don’t let the poses define you. We use them as a tool to connect and learn deeper within ourselves’.
