Dear Centre de Yoga du Marais Sangha and Friends,

I hope you had a beautiful summer that enriched and inspired you.  It sure was lovely all over Europe this year.

I am delighted to announce that the YTT-300 hour training is going forward.

Most of the hours will be a residential training which will allow you to deepen your practice in 2 beautiful locations

and live the practice together.  The remaining weekends, 2 or 3, will be in Paris at the Centre de Yoga du Marais on weekends

that will benefit everyone’s schedule.  There is ample time to study and teach between the dates we are together.

Yoga Retreat Sintra, Portugal May 17-24, 2015

Yoga on Holiday

Retreat in Portugal

The Beautiful Beaches of Sintra

The Lodge

Found:  Another beautiful destination to practice yoga on retreat
May 17-24, 2015

From the airport in Lisbon, the staff at The Lodge will pick you up and in 30 minutes you are in Praia Grande, the big beach, on golden sands, looking up at dazzling cliffs and watching the sun dance on the waves of the Sintra coastline.  

The Lodge is beautifully situated up on the cliffs and about a 10-minute walk down to the beach.

In the grounds of The Lodge we find a landscaped oasis inside freshly painted terra cotta walls, outside a rugged natural paradise.  Palms and flowering plants, large green spaces that just ask you to practice yoga under the sun and shade.  A pool, sauna, and jacuzzi for relaxing or relieving aching muscles after a myriad of sports activities available by the staff, or which can be arranged for you by the staff:  surfing, climbing, mountain biking. More

Details for our retreat!

The rates below include a fabulous breakfast each morning with many home-made specialities.

The Lodge encourages participants who are taking advantage of the sports activities also to make a sandwich/lunch from the breakfast table so you can have a meal on the road in your activity.  Dinner is on our own.

For the yoga week, my rate is lower as my expenses are lower- getting myself to Lisbon (as opposed to the work I do on Milos), so I can offer the yoga week at 200 euros, if you book early, by Feb 1, 2015. On top of the rates you see below.  If you book after Feb 1, the yoga week is 250 euros.

There will be a 90 minute class each am before breakfast and an evening time to be determined on the request of the group vis-a-vis any sport activities you are choosing.  The rate os fixed for the week.

We found very reasonable  flights on Vueling last year:  http://www.vueling.com/es

If you are unfamiliar with the Sintra area, it's indeed worth a Google search to see all there is to offer there.  It's a wild natural place with it's own ecosystem and many cultural UNESCO heritage sites, as well.  We are not far from Cabo de Roca.   

The price includes breakfast, lunchpack, and use of the facilities like pool, 2x jacuzzi, 2x sauna, archery range etc., fresh fruit and tea all day, use of communal kitchen and bbq area.

Rates in May for lodging and breakfast:  Add 200€ for yoga, Early Bird before Feb 1.  Add 250€ for yoga after Feb 1.

55,- € per night and person in double room w/ private bathroom (385,- € per week and person).

75,- € per night and person in single room/ with private bathroom (525,- € per week and person).

Airport transfers (one-way) cost 50,- € for 1-3 persons and 75,- € for 4-7 persons.
(accordingly 125,- € for 8-10 people, 150,- € for up to 14 people).

Dinner calculations are up to you, an average price in a normal Portuguese restaurant is 12-15 euros.
