Feb, 2024 | 7 Day The Full Flow Ashtanga Yoga Retreat in Porto Santo

"Highly recommended, wonderful experience."

Everything was reliable and well organized. It was a respectful, comfortable, funny and energetic group that allowed to participate or back down, whatever was needed. The location is magnificent facing to the sea and being surrounded by nature sounds. The house provides the perfect areas to hold the yoga practices. The food was incredible. There was something for everyone and a surprise with every meal and it generally supported the yoga practice, providing the right energy you need. The yoga practice and course allowed everyone to participate at any level and gave everyone the challenge needed either beginner, advanced or "professional". Highly recommended, amazing experience."

Une retraite de yoga mémorable

"La qualité de l'enseignement de yoga donné par Simon et Cristiano, les Asanas et alignements, mais également les réflexions autour du yoga, la philosophie, l'anatomie, la méditation, la respiration, le Yoga Nidra. - la convivialité offerte par les hôtes, Mathilde et Cristiano sont des personnes au grand coeur, généreux et rayonnants, ils sont super sympas, je ne peux que les recommander vivement. - Des repas exquis, la cuisine végérarienne et végane est savoureuse, réalisée à base de produits locaux, avec une grande diversité - Le site était géniale, Porto Santo est le lieu idéale pour des retraites de yoga, climat chaud mais pas trop, plage, montagne, pas trop de touristes. - la possibilité de choisir une chambre individuelle si on veut"

A beautiful week

"I stumbled across this retreat, as we do in the yoga world, from someone who knew someone. You know, when you just ‘know’ you need to be somewhere, this was one of those. I never question why, I just follow the instinct.

There’s a lot to say, on the surface level, Porto Santo is beautiful and absolutely perfect for a yoga retreat, long beaches, rocks to climb and coffee and pastry all within a hands reach. Easy to get to and a great bonus to touch down in Madeira first. Top tip here, arrive a day before your ferry and leave a day later just in case bad weather affects the ferry/flight times.

Prior to the retreat Matilde and Christiano couldn’t have been more helpful in communications and made me feel like a long lost friend before I’d even arrived.

I received such a warm welcome upon arrival and found myself feeling at home straight away, the group was friendly, diverse, kind and supportive. Having attended lots of events over the years it strikes me, you don’t get a ‘good group’ by mere chance, it happens when the attendees feel accepted, safe and held by the teachers and this is exactly what I felt.

The way the days were organised, was ideal, the teaching intense, interesting and totally spot on.

There was structure but with ease and space for the week to evolve into what it needed to be I think, for all us.

The food was plentiful and beautiful, the atmosphere fun, friendly and deep, a rustic easy going charm threaded through a beautiful week."
