PROGRAM
The retreat is a health and wellbeing concept holiday package in the quiet seaside town of Canico do Baixo, East of Funchal. We offer guests from all over the world a relaxing retreat experience. We offer an approach to health and wellbeing starting your day with a morning practice outside and enjoy a healthy breakfast after the practice.
Later you can decide to join in on one of the diverse and fun workshops, taking a walk, relax on your sunbed with a good book, or feel comfortable in the warm water of the jacuzzi. At the end of the day, you will enjoy a Yin Yoga alternating with a Restorative Yoga class and meditation experience.
The week is designed so you can do as much or as little as you want, ensuring that your time is truly used to your benefit. Find your inner peace during your stay and leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, energized, and more present.
Yoga is a core part of our program, and we cater to beginners as well as intermediate level practitioners. Studies have proven yoga to be one of the best ways to reduce stress, lower blood pressure and relieve symptoms such as insomnia, depression and anxiety, and boost the immune system and mood. Yoga also helps to improve overall fitness, strength, and flexibility.
YOGA PRACTICE
There are 2 yoga experiences every day during your stay.
If you are new to yoga this is a great opportunity to begin your journey! The purpose of yoga is to help you find balance, strength, flexibility and peace within. Yoga allows you to learn and use the body in specific ways, which in turn helps the mind relax and calm down. The yoga classes are held outdoors or in the yoga room.

Each day you can choose to have a whole day Mindful Walking, a fun SUP day or diving, daily excursions around the island, guided Levadas tours, mountain bike tour, or city walk and much more.

GUIDED MINDFUL WALKING
The retreat is located near the sea, close to few easy Levadas (or hikes) in the mountain, and a small typical town that makes the surrounding area a great one to explore. There is so much scenery to enjoy! You can also consider a long walk to the beach and the beautiful Cristo Rei (which is on top of the cliff overlooking the Desertas Islands and Funchal).
