Yoga and chanting retreat with Nikki Slade 2nd - 9th October 2010 | | Spa Details | Yogoloji breaks are all inclusive luxury holistic holidays which send you home re-energised and relaxed and equipped with the tools to help you maintain the life-balance once back in ‘real life’.
The 4-10 day breaks are enjoyed in carefully selected private villas in Portugal, Switzerland, the UK and Scotland to provide every comfort away from home. Each holiday is tailor -made to suit the location and the available activities and all levels are catered for in the wide range of activities available. All the classes are optional and you can attend as many or as few of the classes and activities as you please.
Guests at this location will be introduced to all aspects of yoga practice, including physical practice, meditation, breathing techniques and chanting in a fully supportive way, through classes and workshops. There will also be an Ayurvedic chef to take care of dietary needs and offer advice on cooking light, sattvic foods to facilitate purification and constitutional balancing. | | Accommodation and Other Facilties | | Monte de Velho Retreat Centre was a pioneer and one of the first guest houses in Portugal to use reusable energy sources, installing 20 solar panels in 2000, to supply it with its energy. A windmill also produces eolic power for the hot water. They have also built natural ponds and lakes that collect rainwater, to water the animals and to grow fruit and vegetables, (that are later served at the breakfast to their guests!) The horses and donkeys also help (!), fertilising the flora and areas of the centre’s umbrella pines and cork trees forest. Even the pine-nuts that are collected are then sold on to the local community. | | Additional Information | Additional Information:
