‘The Way of the Tao’ is the theme for our 2027 Yin-Yang yoga immersion.
Literally translating to ‘The Way’, The Tao is the source of all existence. It represents the inexplicable, yet fundamental laws of the universe that we must surrender to, in order to live in harmony with ourselves and the world around us. It embodies the natural flow of nature, the interconnectedness of all living things and the effortless balance of being.
We invite you to join us on residential retreat in the beautiful hills of Northern Portugal, to practice, study and reflect on the poetic and profound wisdom of the classic ancient Chinese philosophical text, the Tao de Ching, exploring it as a rich source of inspiration to enliven our spiritual lives.
Each day will include carefully themed yin and yang asana practices, meditation, philosophical discussions and daily reflections - designed for students to practice the art of self-inquiry (svadhyaya), so as to shine a light on The Path of conscious living.
The week will hold space for deep integration, with long unscheduled afternoons carved out for swimming, hiking, massages, taking in nature, or simply for rest and recuperation.
There is nothing quite like the power of retreat. A time to disconnect from the daily grind and gift ourselves an opportunity to recharge, reset and reconnect to the fundamental truth of who we are, all within the power of community.
The annual retreat is open to all practitioners interested in exploring the path of yoga, beyond asana.
(A 40hr Yoga Alliance certificate will be issued to teachers who wish to receive CE units.)
