The yoga/detox holiday can be either an introduction to yoga for you, or if already experienced you can use these five days to deepen your own practice. We will adjust the level of instruction to suit each individual.
On a daily basis you will have two meditation sessions and two yoga classes including asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises) and relaxation techniques. You will be served breakfast, a light lunch and dinner, all based on simple, but pure, healthy, vegetarian yoga food.
To help the detoxifying process of your body, we use special foods and natural supplements to help eliminate accumulated toxins. Yoga has a very detoxifying effect on the organs, and our yoga classes focus on poses beneficial to the detox process. Diseases are born in the body, and their root is over toxicity (body pollution caused by heavy metals, pesticides, preservatives and other foreign toxins). More and more diseases are caused by our modern lifestyle therefore cleansing is an essential physical process that brings health and happiness.
Daily schedule:
Sunrise Meditation
07:00 Tea, fruit
07:15 Yoga class - asanas, pranayama and relaxation (90mins)
09:00 Breakfast
10:00 Talk on Nutrition
11:00 Spare time to relax or for other activities
14:00 Snack, light lunch

The southwest coast of Portugal offers fantastic waves and our surf school will make sure you'll find the best ones according to your surf level.
Each day will start with a sunrise meditation followed by a Yoga class that is especially designed to gain flexibility, strength and a confident mind for surfing. After breakfast the surf coaches will bring you to one of the local and spectacular surf beaches, which are world-renowned for their excellent waves.

Retreats are held in Casa Douro and Monte Velho.
Some of the Yoga Detox retreats are held in Monte Velho, a beautiful retreat center located in the rolling hills of St. Vincent Natural Park. (Carrapateria) Monte Velho sits on the western edge of Portugal and overlooks the great Atlantic ocean.
Life in Monte Velho is kept down to earth, though it is a first class resort with a large Yoga hall, sauna, and steam room. The Monte Velho bungalows are very cozy and warm with extremely comfortable beds. It's your decision if you want to stay in a single room or share with one of the other retreat yogis. All the rooms are en suite, and they are cleaned every day by the Monte Velho staff.
The Yoga Surf Holidays and some of the Yoga Detox holidays will also be held at Casa Douro. Situated in the hills of southern Portugal, Casa Douro is lovely and quaint location for a yoga holiday. The estate belongs to a Swiss artist and her colourful taste is evident through out the guesthouse. The house comfortably sleeps twelve people. The rustic country setting is perfect for meditation and relaxation, while the surrounding countryside is lush with vegetation. Casa Douro is also close to the many south and west coast beaches. Single rooms, single ensuite (one available only), double rooms and dormitory housing are available at Casa Douro.
View pictures of Casa Douro on: www.algarveyoga.com/casadouro.htm
Both estates are rooted in nature, and both are wonderful locations to practice a perfect Yogic lifestyle.
Both retreat centers are within walking distance to the ocean (40 minutes walking, 5 minutes by car).
We do highly recommend that you stay clear of activities that interfere with the high-energy build up from your holiday programme. To get the full benefit it is best to refrain from taking alcohol, nicotine or any other drugs for the duration of your stay, especially in the yoga detox holidays.
We promise to offer first class service (in accommodation, yoga, food and all other activities)
