ELEMENTS – A Multi-Style Yoga Retreat – Porto Santo, Portugal
What to expect
Elements is a multi-style yoga retreat taking place on the island of Porto Santo. During this retreat, you will connect with the earth, glide through the air and flow above water. Connecting with the ELEMENTS and embracing the power within, you’ll find a renewed sense of gratitude for your body, how it moves, and the connection you have with the world around you. From this retreat, you will feel empowered to live a conscious life, respecting yourself and others.
Healthy, vegan meals will be provided and eaten family style at one large table. Activities may include daily yoga, acro yoga, SUP yoga, hiking, beach walks, meditation, mindfulness and creativity workshops.
You will also have free time to explore the island or simply relax on the beach. If you’d like, equipment rentals for water sports (surf, paddle board, wind surfing, etc.) are a few minutes walk down the beach from us. Downtown Porto Santo is a 10-15 minute walk. We’re happy to help you arrange bike rentals, as it can be a great way to see the island if you’re feeling adventurous.
