Traditional Yoga techniques alongside a balanced diet can help us regain a positive wellbeing and a better internal dialogue with ourselves and then the world around us.
Sometimes, we become confused and focus too much on one thing, quickly forgetting what the true meaning of Yoga practice is. Yoga is after all a path, a continuous study of Asana, Pranayama, Meditation, in combinations with healthy balanced nutrition.
We aim to offer a holistic and meaningful experience, so Yoga, Beach Hikes and Silent walks are included to deepen the rejuvenating connection with nature.

Set on the Atlantic ocean, close to the centre of Ericeira, is the charming village of ‘Casais de Sao Lourenco’, stunningly situated above the beach bay of Sao Lourenco, this wide sandy beach is part of Ericeira’s protected World Surf Reserve.

What does people think about us
Great experience!
I did a 6 day Yoga retreat, in a little village called Sao Lourenço.
I had a great time!
Riccardo organised everything perfectly, was always there for questions and tried to organise every possible activity anyone wanted to do besides the yoga classes.. I did surfing one afternoon and bouldering one afternoon & enjoyed both a lot!
Frederico’s yoga classes were very good! He teaches yoga in a very traditional style, which I think is the right and best way to practice Yoga.. so if you really wanna experience yoga, go deeper and maybe also try to start to do mediation and think about the philosophy behind yoga, yoga with Federico is a great choice!
You can come alone, with friends or with your partner, it all fits! (Hanna)

Extraordinary experience guarantee
-Teacher/classes-
I learned something new every class from yoga philosophy to pranayama, and asanas. The classes were on average 2 hours long where the teacher truly took the time to take you through each step of the way with care and attention.
-Venue/meals-
Luminous and spacious, the venue was cozy and welcoming. You are invited to delicious brunches and dinners every day. The meals are vegetarian but unbelievably diverse in taste and variation. All of the participants were always looking forward how we would be surprised that day.
-Hospitality-
You feel right at home thanks to their warm and accommodating attitude! You can enjoy other activities outside classes so you never get bored!
