Join B.Yoga teachers Daniela Fuentes and Schalk Viljoen for a full-on week of yoga practice, mindful mornings, inner discovery & joy in a all-senses retreat in beautiful Ericeira, Portugal.
A week devoted to yourself away from routines and obligations, surrounded by this stunning location of wild beauty, perched atop of 30-metre sandstone cliffs, overlooking the powerful blue Atlantic and a string of golden sand beaches. We invite you to take the space to explore your inner landscapes, spot your places of joy & restore your soul.
LOCATION
Our Yoga retreat centre is conveniently nestled in the old village of Ericeira –a fishing town in Lisbon district, about 35 km. northwest of Lisbon– with walking distance from the beaches, shops and restaurants, but tucked away enough to allow peace and quiet.
The old village is charming and typically Portuguese with whitewashed houses, blue doors and window frames, tiles, chapels and narrow cobbled streets. Once a peaceful coastal town, Ericeira and the surrounding coast has recently been recognised as the World surfing reserve, transforming it into a surfer's mecca, with over 30 surf spots with a diversity of waves for all levels.
PROGRAM
Mindful journaling every morning together with breakfast for deep self inquiry and contemplation.
Holistic Yoga practices led by Daniela or Schalk, embracing all Self layers: mind, body, soul, breath & spirit. The Morning Yoga practice is composed of pranayama, kriyas, asana (yoga poses) & meditation. Evening Yoga Practice is either workshop-style or yin-oriented, with the focus on turning inward, and quietening the mind.

ABOUT YOGA
JIVAMUKTI YOGA
Jivamukti is a physical, ethical, and spiritual practice, combining a vigorous hatha yoga, vinyasa-based physical style with adherence to five central tenets: shastra (scripture), bhakti (devotion), ahimsa (nonviolence, non-harming), nāda (music), and dhyana (meditation).
YIN YOGA
Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures, or asanas, that are held for longer periods of time—for beginners, it may range from 45 seconds to two minutes; more advanced practitioners may stay in one asana for five minutes or more. Yin yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body—the tendons, fascia, and ligaments—with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. A more meditative approach to yoga, yin aims at cultivating awareness of inner silence, and bringing to light a universal, interconnecting quality.
