In the quiet embrace of Monte Velho Retreat Centre – a sanctuary overlooking Portugal’s wild Atlantic coast – you’ll find the space to slow down, soften and reconnect. The land here is both grounding and elemental: rugged cliffs, sweeping ocean views and a stillness that invites you inwards. It’s the perfect setting to balance the dynamism of Ashtanga with the deep restoration of Restorative yoga. Experience with Mysore-style or Ashtanga yoga isn’t necessary.

This retreat is about finding your rhythm – whether that means resetting patterns, awakening curiosity or simply giving yourself permission to move at the speed of your body rather than the busyness of the mind. Through active practice and deep rest, you’ll explore how activity and stillness can both be paths to renewal.
