Portugal
About the retreat
During this retreat you will wake up to mountain views every day. After waking, we will start the day by doing a meditation practice to help us ground and create some headspace. Afterwards, we will serve you a light breakfast before getting into our bodies with an active yang yoga practice.
After a wholesome lunch, there is plenty of time to go for a walk, to take a dive in the pool when the sun is out, or simply take some time to rest and reflect. At the end of the day, we will get back together for a yin yoga and myofascial release practice, focused on deep relaxation and introspection.
We will end the day with a nourishing dinner.
Location & unplugging
The retreat takes place at D’Alijo Retreat Center in Portugal. Take a look at www.dalijoyogaretreats.com to get a feel of this beautiful place.
During this retreat we will ask you to leave your phone in your room, as this allows you to be more present in the moment. It may take some getting used to in the beginning, but soon you’ll find that it creates more space for genuine connections—with yourself, other participants and nature.

About Dieuwertje
I am Dieuwertje Homan, owner of Open Yoga. When I was 25 I was introduced to yoga. Soon I noticed that I could not and would not do without it. I did indeed become more flexible, but it was the increase in mental and emotional balance that gave me direction. Yoga became my way of staying with myself in this hectic life. I wanted to share this with the people around me: increase your awareness together, find your path and become fitter at the same time. Feeling better about yourself, literally and figuratively. That is where Open Yoga came from: sharing this feeling with as many people as possible!
Passing on knowledge and the love for yoga combined with entrepreneurship is a very nice combination for me. And with much passion and love I run this beautiful company.
