*This retreat will be held in German*
Held on the beautiful Four Trees Farm in the south of Portugal, the Conscious Connection yoga retreat is your chance to spend some time away from the everyday routine along with all of its expectations, obligations, and responsibilities. Here you can create conscious connections – to yourself, to others, and to nature. Four Trees Farm is the perfect setting to do so, surrounded by nature and far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the definition of slowing down. Together we’ll enjoy yoga classes on the terrace, unforgettable sunsets, good conversation, and delicious food from the region – simple but special. In between, you can do whatever your heart desires – chill at the pool, take walks through the surrounding landscape, try out slack-lining, do some functional training, or just relax and do nothing.
This is your time to create a Conscious Connection.

What kind of yoga will we be doing?
A yoga class in the morning, a yoga class in the evening. Each class will be different – at times, sweaty, at others gentle, sometimes groovy, sometimes more meditative.
Vinyasa Yoga – In vinyasa yoga, we bring the asanas together in fluid movements – it can be gentle and slow, or dynamic and challenging. We’ll take the time to look at alignment, too, and each class will have a particular focus.
Inside Flow – In Inside Flow, we move through a flowing sequence of asanas lead by your breath and a playlist of modern music. An evolution of vinyasa yoga, Inside Flow is a symbiosis of tradition and evolution. These graceful sequences and steady breath will help you to turn the gaze inwards and develop a deep connection to your inner world.
Yin Yoga – Yin Yoga is a gentle yet far-reaching practice, in which you use props to bring you into the poses, where you then simply melt into the shape with no muscle tension at all. On a physical level, the practice releases tension and stimulates the connective tissues. On an emotional level, you have the time and quiet to let go of what you no longer need and anchor yourself in the present moment. And so you create space in the body and mind to receive new insights into the practice and yourself.
