YOUR YOGA RETREAT
in the heart of the Algarve
A Farmhouse Restored with Intention and Care
Cova do Coração is a beautifully farmhouse imbued with yoga philosophy and spirituality. Every floor tile is hand made one at the time by a local artisan, Señor Goveia, and we used natural limewash paint on the walls. My wonderful gardeners, my partner Steve and I have, and continue to, cultivate our portion of the hillside into a peaceful haven.
The yoga platform overlooks the verdant surrounding hills. The new spacious swimming pool provides respite during sunny afternoons. The retreat itself is situated in the midst of wild countryside, in a tiny traditional Portuguese hamlet. Our few neighbours include local farmers, who gather the abundant lemons, oranges, figs, and olives that grow in the landscape. Other pastimes within walking distance include a serene river (which does dry up during the hottest months!), in which you can float around, and plenty of meandering hill paths to hike.

A PLACE TO BREATHE
Our yoga retreats
When you do a retreat at Cova do Coracao, rest assured that you will be guided by wonderful teachers.
For this year only, the main teacher will be me, Giselle. I have 35 years yoga experience and my classes include: Yoga philosophy combined with Buddhist teachings, guided meditations, Kundalini practices and Pranayama. Some sessions will be alignment based slow Hatha practices whilst others will be freer embodied practices and more fluid. We will also include mantra chanting, visualisations and journaling. For those that want to join we will go on silent walks in the evenings before our Yin inspired sessions and/or Yoga Nidra.
