Join us here in Portugal where we will be eating healthy vegan & vegetarian dishes and practicing Evolutionary Yoga. We have been holding retreats at our centre, which is set in Six hectares of well cared for forest land for over 12 years. Our centre is the perfect place to re-balance, refocus and dive deeply into your yoga practice.
Peter & Sue are the founders of Evolutionary Yoga which is an integrated practice that brings together vinyasa & yin Yoga, Shamanism, Qigong, Mindfulness Meditation, Gong Healing and Astrology. We also hold our 100 hour yin yoga teacher training course and 300 hour yoga teacher training foundation course here.
Yoga
Experience our vinyasa flow style of practice that incorporates the elements and building beneficial practices to help open the body and mind.
Shamanic Practice
On retreat we will be journeying to the sound of the shamanic drum which allows us to visit other dimensions that are not usually available in our normal day to day consciousness. We do use any form of plant medicine because the drum and spirt are all the medicine we need.
Meditation
Learn proven ways of meditating to help calm the mind and allow yourself to deeply relax and be the witness of thoughts, emotions and sensations.
Qigong
On the week we will learn the five animal qigong method as well as meridian qigong. These are very transformative practice that allow you to connect directly to your energy body and direct qi to where it is needed.
Yin Yoga
Gently release tension from the physical body and clear you’re meridian channels with our set sequences that massage the internal organs and clear any blockages. Yin yoga works on creating compression in the joints and tension on the connective tissue allows for our fascia to release and rejuvinate.
Astrology
Learn about your astrological birth chart and what all of the planets and signs mean to you personally. No two charts are ever the same. We are not just one sun sign but all of the signs and all of the planets.
Gong Healing
On the retreat Peter who is an advanced gong healing practitioner will bath you in planetary gongs that are tuned to planetary frequency’s. Gong baths reset the nervous system and enhance the immune system as well as allow you to relax deeply.
