Yoga, Spirituality and Surf, Portugal

#RETREATS BY MIND BODY ALCHEMY

july 7-14, 2023

Join the community for a week of rediscovery, body work and transformative group activities focused on Yoga, spirituality, life coaching and Surf.

There will be much more to this retreat than just yoga.

Ameriga (ERYT500, MA Yoga Studies, Master NLP, Life Coach) has created a transformative program, creating an alchemy of practices for body and mind that draw from Eastern traditions and Western wisdom.

Ameriga will speak in English with simultaneous translation into Italian.

The program

Ameriga will lead you in two yoga lessons a day, which will be real journeys of interoception and introspection.

The day will begin with a 2-hour Vinyasa flow class. Expect creative, slow, deep and intense sequences, leading to a pinnacle pose and garnished with Indian philosophy, psychology, immersive music and kirtan.

Ameriga has a reputation for taking its students’ practice to the next level, so get ready to explore positions you may have only seen in books, in a safe and functional way. If you are an experienced practitioner you will fully appreciate the new challenges and if you are new to the world of yoga you will always feel involved and supported in trying new postures.

You’ll have the day to surf, relax and adventure around the area, then return to the Shala at 6pm for a Yin Yoga class. Ameriga’s Yin classes are very particular, as they combine philosophy, spirituality and journaling. You will learn a lot about the principles of these disciplines and will have the opportunity to reflect on your life and personal challenges. Breathwork sessions and workshops will be held on some days.

Part of the transformative power of this retreat is the group dynamics. You will meet wonderful people, we will share our stories while creating a safe space for each other.

If you have never been on a retreat with Ameriga, feel free to get in touch with her to see if this is the right experience for you.

Our day

In the morning you will start the day by practicing a two-hour Vinyasa flow class, usually focusing on an apex position. The class always offers a theme of reflection, engaging music and kirtan.
After the morning class you will share a tasty homemade breakfast with the rest of the group, and then you will have some free time.
Generally, retreat participants stay together for the rest of the day. We will create a whatsapp group a few days before the start to coordinate transport and surf lessons.
In your free time you can learn to surf, as we are right next to a beautiful surf break. Alternatively, you can enjoy the beach, discover the area or relax with a massage.
We will meet at 6pm for a 90′ Bhakti Prema Yin Yoga class (open to all levels, we recommend bringing a diary), a Breathwork session or a workshop.
A delicious vegetarian dinner will be served every evening at 8pm.

Men and women, yoga and personal development enthusiasts who want to improve their practice, explore the world of spirituality and yoga philosophy, and simply feel good in their body.

You feel alone and disconnected from other people and want to be part of a support group of aware people who are working on themselves.
