I met Gyanmitra in Goa while attending an ashram-style retreat with my husband Aalok in 2023, a tradition we’re looking forward to returning each year since. Those quiet days in the jungle, immersed in Yoga beyond just movement, through early morning meditation, philosophy, and enlightening conversations had a profound impact on me.

Bringing this experience to Lisbon, Portugal has been a long-time wish. I’m so grateful to now share this weekend with you! A chance to step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself, and experience Yoga as it’s truly meant to be shared.

Whether you’re already familiar with Yoga or newly curious, this weekend offers life-changing perspectives, meaningful learning, and practical tools to bring into your everyday life.

This is an intimate, invitation-only retreat with limited spaces; reserve early to ensure a personalised and transformative experience.

FAQs

We’re based in Monte Caparica, near the NOVA School of Science and Technology, just a 15-minute drive from Lisbon. Parking is free and easy in the street, and Uber drop-offs are convenient. You’ll receive the full address in the private Whatsapp group.

Since June is the high season in Portugal, it is highly recommended to book early. 

My top pick is a beautiful (kind of secret) boutique hotel just 5 minutes away, with stunning views of Lisbon and great value for money: Quinta do Tagus. 

Other nearby options include:
Crowne Plaza – Caza Barr 

If you don’t have a car, Uber works well for easy pick-ups to and from the venue.

Just wear comfortable clothes for the movement classes, something you can easily sit and lie down in. If you prefer, bring a change of clothes for after the Asana classes.

Everything else you’ll need will be provided.

All food provided will be vegetarian, organic, gluten-free (cooked by a Coeliac), lactose-free, and alcohol-free. If you have additional dietary restrictions, please contact us before booking to confirm whether we can safely accommodate your needs.
