7 Day Luxury Yoga and Wellness Retreat in the Algarve, Portugal

The core of this retreat is daily practice. Each morning begins with a serene sunrise meditation and chanting session, looking out over the ocean. This is followed by a 90-minute Lakshmi Rising Vinyasa Flow class. The postures are taught with a grounded, anatomical focus by Dr. Liz Lindh, who has been practicing for over 30 years. She leads with a style that blends classical vinyasa, tantra, and insights from her background in acupuncture and oriental medicine. It's a practice that feels both deep and accessible.

After breakfast, the program opens up. There are optional posture workshops, applied anatomy labs, and sequencing clinics in the middle of the day, which you're welcome to join. Later afternoons feature Ayurveda lectures or a meditation and yoga philosophy discussion. On Saturdays, there's a group excursion—hiking the Seven Hanging Valleys coastal trail, exploring Loulé's market, or visiting Ria Formosa National Park. You can join the group or take the day to yourself.

The retreat is hosted by Lakshmi Rising School for Yoga & Wellness, an institution that has been running teacher trainings since 2014. It's a well-established community with a strong emphasis on the philosophical and practical roots of yoga. The estate itself, called Monte Sobradhino, is a beautiful villa with an infinity pool, gardens, and multiple terraces. It's high in the hills, so you get quiet and privacy, but it's close enough to the coast that exploring is easy.
