7 Day Yoga & Pilates Wellness Retreat on the Estoril Coast, Portugal

Set in the heart of Parede, a picturesque village along Portugal's Estoril Coast, this rejuvenating yoga and Pilates retreat is a sanctuary for the mind, body, and soul. The retreat center, Laya Studio, is a dedicated space for dance, yoga, and Pilates, housed in a beautifully renovated building from the 1960s that now blends modern comfort with a touch of retro charm. Here, you'll find a welcoming atmosphere that encourages deep relaxation and personal growth.

The retreat philosophy is rooted in the belief that true wellness comes from balance. Each day harmoniously combines energizing morning yoga to awaken the body, delicious brunches at the nearby Jay's Caffé, and soothing evening sessions to unwind. The program allows for plenty of free time, so you can explore the local beaches, meander through the village's charming streets, or take a short train ride to discover the cultural treasures of Lisbon, Cascais, or Sintra.

Instructors Cláudia, Mariana, and Vânia bring a wealth of experience and diverse teaching styles, from Vinyasa and Hatha to Yin and Nidra. Their passion for movement and mindfulness shines through in every class, creating a supportive space where guests can deepen their practice, regardless of level. With small group sizes, you'll receive personalized attention and feel a genuine connection to your teachers and fellow retreatants.

What truly sets this retreat apart is its unique location. The studio sits just three minutes from the beach, and the rooftop shala offers panoramic views of the sea and the Sintra hills. The village of Parede, a favorite of celebrities like Madonna and Cristiano Ronaldo, is a delightful mix of local bakeries, quirky shops, and acclaimed restaurants. This combination of coastal serenity, cultural richness, and expert guidance makes for an unforgettable week of transformation and renewal.
