A weekend of slow living, relaxing with likeminded people in the centre of Portugal. Normally our yoga retreats at Mandira have an intense yoga practice schedule, primarily to create physical and mental break throughs utilising the 8 limbs of yoga. However, after a few years hosting retreats, we now feel a calling to also offer relaxed community gatherings, fostering friendship and connection. A weekend where wake up alarms are switched off, slow mornings with a cup of tea in hand, long lunches, swims in nature and nights chatting by the fire pit under the star filled sky. This relaxed approach isn’t to neglect the practice but rather to integrate it into a lighthearted, non-judgement, fun weekend- bring your free spirited self. We still include morning breath work and movement along with our private chefs delicious vegetarian and/or vegan food paired with local organic wine. Does this sound like your type of reset weekend? Come chill out with us. Here’s the outline of our July gathering:
