Yoga Holiday

What a wonderful week away, being looked after makes daily yoga easy. We enjoyed extra bendiness with the warmth of Portugal gave us warm and pliable muscles!

Interested in joining me for 2027? Planning a Portugal retreat for Spring. Definitely a yoga holiday with with yoga morning yoga and longer workshops. Plenty of time to relax and undo.

Cool off in the pool, find a calm corner to read, or enjoy simple chatter with a cuppa and like minded folk. Inspiring Away Days. Visit the local coastal town and enjoy a night out to give the chef a night off.

Yoga Holiday: Return to Serena Vista May 2027

Yoga alfresco in the morning

We had such a lovely week with Sandra and Ronald in May 2026. They have built and created a beautiful home and retreat centre in quiet county side.

Yoga before breakfast and in the afternoon, choosing our favourite spots alfresco by the pool, in the spacious downstairs dining room or half in and half on the patio with wide open sliding doors. 2026 was a wonderful celebration of a big birthday so siblings, off spring and an adopted best friend gave us a wonderful mixed group of folk, all enjoying their yoga with most decades represented from 40's to 80 birthday girl. What an honour for me to teach such a fabulous group of humans.

Near to reach the sea and not far from Lisbon for easy travelling. Sandra spoils us with an amazing breakfast full of love, healthiness and naughty treats! We sampled delicious tarts as each town has it own variation, hard to choose a favourite.

Find yourself with daily yoga

Begin your day with yoga, stretch and release, breath and calmly greet the day ahead. Build an appetite for breakfast!

Afternoon workshops give you time to unravel poses and deepen, learn adjustments or micro-movements that bring ease and build stability.

Pair work allows the poses to develop and find new angle. Relaxation, pranayama and meditation enhance our holistic yogic being.

Whether you are fairly new to yoga or a seasoned yogini, the hatha yoga inclusiveness allows everyone to work at their level. Gentle encouragement and options to ease back or challenge yourself.

June 2025: Tuscan Farmhouse Yoga Retreat

In early July 2025 we enjoyed the rolling Tuscan hills with our hosts Irene and David. The modern yoga studio was cool with windows on each aspect to allowing comfortable morning and late afternoon yoga.

Tuscany Sunset over Pool

The comfortable farm house in a quiet rural Tuscan landscape. The intense heat made the pool a go to. Just delicious to cool off, some early birds before yoga and others found their 'home' for the week. The trees on the lawn provided shade for afternoon reading or snoozing.

The Chef Matteo created great local inspired vegetarian food with our two gluten free totally spoilt with bespoke dishes. Served on the veranda, perfect for alfresco dinning to enjoy the views across the meadow and landscape.
