One Week "Yoga On and Off the Mat" Retreat & 50-Hr YTT

For a month we will be hosting weekly yoga retreats in Porto Santo - each week is a 7-day, 6-night experience, and every week has a different focus.

• 1st Week: November 1st to 7th

• 2nd Week: November 8th to 14th

• 3rd Week: November 15th to 21st

• 4th Week: November 22nd to 28th

While the main theme is shifts each week, the overall structure stays the same, only changing the lectures and workshops. We start the week with a morning guided class for newcomers and/or beginners, and proceed with Mysore practice (selfpractice) during the week. Pranayama, Yoga Nidra, Meditation, and group activities end up being naturally slightly different, but always a nice surprise.

How long you stay is... up to you!

You can choose how long you want to stay based on your own objectives. Each week offers both a Yoga Escape retreat (for those who just want to enjoy the experience) and a 50-hour Yoga Continuing Education option (for those working toward certification). If you complete all four weeks, you’ll have your full 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certification.

So… retreat or YTT?

Up to you. You can come just to enjoy and take part in what feels right for you, or if you're aiming to become a teacher, you can follow the full program and meet the prerequisites. Teacher Training Requirements While we believe yoga should be fun and retreats should feel like a relaxed party that goes on for weeks, we take teaching and certification very seriously. Hence, we’re only accepting Teacher Training candidates who meet the following criteria:

• At least one year of Yoga practice,

• AND some knowledge of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and the First Series.

• OR previous retreat / regular class experience with us,

• AND a minimum of 6 months of practice.

That said, if you’re not interested in certification and just want to enjoy a rejuvenating retreat, you’re more than welcome - even if you’re a beginner!
