Yoga at Quinta do Pomarinho

Quinta do Pomarinho is a former farm where you can enjoy silence, space and tranquility. Quinta do Pomarinho is located in the Alto Alentejo region, within walking distance of Castelo de Vide (5 km) and close to the border with Spain. Quinta do Pomarinho is adjacent to the beautiful hills of Natural Park Serra de São Mamede and our nature camping site is even officially in the park. Quinta de Pomarinho is 25 hectares and offers a special holiday spot for walkers, cyclists, nature and culture lovers, bird watchers, artists and peace seekers. The special atmosphere on our quinta gives inner peace and ensures that man (again) is in balance or comes. Our quinta is the ideal place for practicing Yoga and meditation.

Inspiring Yoga Daytrip Holiday

10 days recharging, rest and enjoy!

Every day a good start with activating yoga and meditation. We stand up in silence and hold it until breakfast. Inner peace. Staying in your ‘bubble’. After a late full breakfast we will do a day trip.

In the afternoon we will go back to the mat, to enjoy a relaxing yoga class. The small scale is our characteristic. The group will consist of a maximum of 8 participants so that there is enough personal attention. Yoga experience or not, this week is accessible to every level.

This week is fully taken care of. You will be transported to and from the airport, so no stress to arrange transport or to get to the location. You are completely unburdened!

Accomodation

The Friends of Nature house on Quinta do Pomarinho

Casa Antiga is the first truly official Friends of Nature house in Portugal. The Friends of Nature House is located on the estate of Quinta do Pomarinho in the province of Alto Alentejo Portugal near the medieval fortified town of Castelo de Vide. The former farmhouse offers space for 2 to 10 people.

Lay-out Friends of Nature House

Downstairs the Friends of Nature House has one 2-person bedroom and one 2 to 4-person bedroom with a loft. The 2 rooms on the ground floor have 1 shared bathroom with bath and toilet and 1 shared living room with a fireplace and a cozy sitting area. Downstairs there is a spacious kitchen for shared use by the guests present in the Friends of Nature House.

Upstairs there are two 2-person bedrooms. The 2 rooms upstairs have 1 shared bathroom with shower and toilet and 1 shared living room with a pellet stove. The upper floor also has a spacious terrace with beautiful views of the hills of the park Natural da Serra de Sao Mamede.

The Friends of Nature House has a private courtyard where you can relax outside in good weather and enjoy your meals.

Bedding and linen are provided.

During your stay you are jointly responsible for keeping the Friends of Nature house clean and for setting and clearing the table after breakfast, lunch and dinner, and together for cleaning up and filling and emptying the dishwasher.

Yoga

There will be a mix of different lesson styles such as Hatha, Restorative, Yin yoga and Yoga Nidra. A fine mixture of moving interspersed with deep relaxation, meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises). Experience what it does to you every day outside in the garden to start a long yoga class and in the afternoon to go deep into deep relaxation. The lessons are for all levels. If the mornings are too cold to do yoga outside then we use the yoga studio, inside. Nice, warm and comfortable.

Food & Drinks

After the yoga class we go to the table for an extensive and well-deserved breakfast. Homemade jams and fresh eggs will not be missing. Every evening a delicious dinner is waiting for you. What could be nicer than sitting at the table and getting pampered with original Aletejano food? So a top holiday! Tea and water are available throughout the day, coffee at breakfast. Other drinks are peated and settled at the end of the week.
