Relax. Reflect. Recharge. Restart
Yoga & Meditation Retreat
Do you feel like the occasional yoga session, a glass of wine in front of the TV at the end of the day, or a bubble bath once in a while are not enough for you to relax completely? Do you long for time for yourself, a time-out from running around taking care of everything and everyone?
We’ve got you covered. We have designed our one-week program in a way that you can completely relax and we take care of the rest!
Once we’ll pick you up at Lisbon Airport, you can leave all your worries behind. Take care of your body during morning yoga sessions, guided walks, and with delicious home cooked vegetarian meals, prepared with love and ingredients from our garden.
Enjoy a good night’s sleep and well-deserved me-time in a private room with a private bathroom. Experience a holistic lifestyle firsthand.
Take care of your mind with our different meditation practices at the end of each day. Join in on inspiring conversations during meals and activities.
Take care of your soul by enjoying our trips to Nazaré and Óbidos, as well as the wine tasting. Get out into nature and recharge with the raw beauty of Portugal’s endless coastline. Take time to reflect and to get back in touch with yourself.
And, of course, feel like a part of the 4elements family and enjoy the company of a small group of like-minded individuals here at our home.
Whether you are travelling alone or with a friend or family member, whether you are a beginner at yoga or already a practitioner, you are more than welcome at our retreat.
After 8340 minutes of relaxation here at our retreat you’ll return home feeling rejuvenated, reconnected with yourself and the world around you, and ready for whatever is to come!

FAQ
You always have a private room with private bathroom. Only if you prefer to share a room with a with a friend, family member or partner that you travel with, you can also book a double room.
No, we provide yoga mats and props like blocks, belts, bolsters and blankets. If you prefer to bring your own mat, please feel free to do so.
If you are arriving earlier than 4pm or leaving later than 3pm, we can give you some tips on how to spend the time well rather than hanging out at the airport. There are lockers to leave your luggage, so you can move around more freely. If you spend time before in Lisbon, please come back to the airport for the shuttle, we don’t do pick ups in any other place.
If you arrive later and don’t make it to the shuttle at 5pm please contact us so we can give you tips on how to get here. The main possibilities are a private cab/uber or taking the bus. Please note that arrival at the retreat after 10pm is not possible, since we start the program at 7:30am on Monday morning.
You can find more about this in our retreat info pdf that we will send you after your booking.
If you are not able to arrive on Sunday you can still join on Monday and will miss a little bit of the program. Airport transfer will then have to be arranged differently and can't be included in the price. Please contact us in this case.
Our retreats always run from Sunday to Saturday and we have designed the program to fit well in this 7 day timeframe. Since we are a familiar place with only 5 rooms, so small groups, it is also nicer for the group to stay together for the entire time. Should you have to leave a bit early, please contact us.
Our classes are suitable for beginners. We teach in small groups (less than 10 people), so we can address different levels and needs. You can always approach us, if something isn’t clear or you need help with a pose.
You can book directly through the link under this FAQ section. We require a deposit of around 30% to fix the booking, the remaining amount will be due upon arrival. The deposit can be paid via credit card or PayPal. The remainder can be paid in cash (Euro), by bank transfer or via credit card (Visa and Master).
If you must cancel your attendance 30 days prior to the retreat start date you can reschedule or receive a voucher for the entire amount. If you wish a refund of your deposit, we will refund you the amount minus a small service charge (15€) for bookings made directly through our website.
If you cancel less than 30 days prior to the retreat start date, a refund of the money is not possible. You can read all the details in our Terms & Conditions.
We teach Hatha Yoga in the morning, the most ancient yoga style and the “mother” of all other styles. Hatha yoga consists of Asana (postures), Pranayama (breathing exercises), Mudras (gestures) and bandhas (energy locks) as well as Shatkarma (cleansing techniques). If you want to know more about the differences between Hatha yoga and other popular styles like Vinyasa, this blog article will be useful to you. One morning of the retreat we will also practice aerial yoga, which uses silks hanging off the ceiling to support you in the poses. In the evening we will have one lesson of Yin Yoga, a more meditative form of yoga.
