28-Day Ashtanga & Yoga Therapy Immersion in Porto Santo, Madeira

The retreat unfolds over four distinct weeks, each with its own focus. Week One explores Yoga History and Philosophy, Week Two covers Yoga Anatomy and Physiology, Week Three delves into Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda, and Week Four focuses on Teaching and Living Yoga. The daily structure remains consistent, with lectures and workshops changing to match the weekly theme. Each week begins with a guided Ashtanga-led class designed for newcomers, before transitioning to Mysore-style practice, where you work through your own series at your own pace with the support of experienced teachers. On moon days, a softer guided class is offered. The schedule also includes daily pranayama, yoga nidra, meditation, and evening community activities like storytelling and dance.
