Luxury 10-Day Wellness & Yoga Retreat in Portugal's Algarve

Lakshmi Rising School for Yoga & Wellness, founded by Dr. Liz Lindh, offers a holistic approach to yoga that weaves the living wisdom of the practice together with plant-based nutrition, conscious community, and immersive retreat experiences. This 10-day retreat is designed to nourish body, mind, and spirit through a balance of structure and spaciousness. Each day, you'll have the opportunity to join daily yoga, meditation, and pranayama classes, as well as expert-led lectures and experiential workshops on topics such as Ayurveda, chakras, and yoga philosophy. The retreat is intentionally curated, yet you have complete freedom to participate in as much or as little as you like, allowing you to honor your own rhythm and meet yourself exactly where you are.

The retreat takes place at Monte Sobradhino, a stunning private villa in the hills of Loulé, where all yoga training sessions and meals take place. The property features expansive glass walls that seamlessly connect the warm, elegant interiors with panoramic views of the ocean and valley. A beautiful outdoor yoga shala offers a spectacular space for practice, while the saltwater infinity pool and sundeck provide the perfect spot for relaxation. The villa is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, creating a serene and private sanctuary. Guests can enjoy exclusive access to the entire estate, including the use of on-site facilities, ensuring a truly immersive and tranquil experience.

What sets this retreat apart is its unique offering alongside a yoga teacher training immersion. You'll have access to the full training experience, including posture workshops, philosophy discussions, and practice teaching sessions, without the pressure of exams or assignments. This allows you to deepen your understanding of yoga in a supportive environment, or simply enjoy the daily wellness rituals. The retreat community is diverse, welcoming all bodies, backgrounds, and levels of experience. Whether you choose to immerse yourself in study, explore the Algarve's beaches and culture, or spend your days lounging by the pool, this retreat is an invitation to soften, explore, and reconnect with yourself, your practice, and the world around you.

The retreat also includes a focus on conscious living and sustainability. Lakshmi Rising is committed to eco-friendly, socially conscious practices and aims to make the world brighter through their actions and choices. The food is plant-based and Ayurvedic-inspired, prepared with fresh, local ingredients. You'll enjoy three delicious meals daily, designed to support your practice and nourish your body. With its peaceful location, luxurious amenities, and transformative program, this retreat offers a truly unique opportunity for personal growth and holistic wellbeing.
