• Yoga and Mindfulness Retreat in Portugal's Forested Mountains — 6 days

Central Portugal suits a yoga break that moves at the pace of the land: river valleys, forested mountains and plenty of room to slow down. This page currently brings together two programmes, both centred on Hatha yoga, and they offer quite different ways to spend your time.

If you want to take your practice towards teaching, the Three-Week Off-Grid Hatha Yoga Teacher Training runs for 22 days at Cara Creek, a riverfront property in a valley where the River Seia runs along the lower boundary and meets the Mondego. Ashley and Rory have been on the land since 2017 and built the lodge from natural materials, running it off grid, so you train in a setting that feels closely connected to the landscape around you.

For a shorter stay, the six-day Yoga and Mindfulness Retreat is set in Portugal's forested mountains. Your mornings begin at 7:30am with tea, followed by an energising Hatha class at 8:00 and breakfast at 9:30. Lunch is at 12:30pm, and the afternoon is yours for wild swimming, the sauna, hiking the old terraces or simply napping.

Between them, these programmes suit anyone drawn to Hatha yoga in a natural, unhurried setting, whether you are after a restful week away or a committed period of training. The six-day retreat is priced from 925 GBP, giving you a clear starting point as you plan your time in Central Portugal.
