This 5 day yoga trip to Portugal with my adult offspring was the most beautiful, thoughtful and actually quite overwhelming surprise they could have planned, booked and gifted me last Christmas 🥰
We had so much fun, joining a local Yoga class on the beach in Lagos for two early morning yoga sessions at this incredible sheltered spot below the cliffs. It was idyllic to have these views and the sounds of the sea from our yoga mats while enjoying a wonderfully sequenced “Hatha Flow + Glow” practice. Plus being able to be just a few steps away from a refreshing dip in the sea afterwards was an amazing way to start the day.🙏🌊🐠🌞💛
We also spent an incredible day driving into The Monchique hills , where we found gorgeous villages, hidden natural springs in lush, bio diverse for est area (where you can see me obviously practising Tree Pose in one of the photos🤣) and we managed to scramble to the top of Mount Foia (the highest peak in the Algarve) where, as you can see, I indulged in a moment of Peaceful Mountain🤣🙏🤩
Having a hire car also meant we could explore other colourful, traditional coastal villages (my favourite being Burgau,with its picture postcard perfect tiny, vibrantly tiled + painted houses cobbled narrow streets and gorgeous white sand Cove - which I can imagine would be packed with people in peak season, but we pretty much had to ourselves and after playing in the sea and chilling on the sand we had fantastic late afternoon cocktails at the beachfront bar
🍹🤗💛) and travelling further west to experience more rugged, expansive beaches popular with surfers………
All in all, it was a fantastic trip, filled with laughter, exploring in nature, enjoying great fresh food, a few cheeky cocktails, lots of yoga and spending time together making very precious memories🥰🌞🙏❤️
Home now and still on a high from such a fabulous little holiday and very much looking forward to seeing you all again in our Yoga classes together this week ###
