CONSCIOUS CONNECTION YOGA RETREAT

Diese Auszeit im wunderschönen Süden Portugals bietet Dir einen Raum, um den Alltag mit all seinen Erwartungen, Verpflichtungen und Aufgaben hinter Dir zu lassen und Conscious Connections zu schaffen – zu Dir selbst, zu Anderen und zu der Natur. Four Trees bietet die perfekte Umgebung hierfür, mitten in der Natur und weit weg von Hektik und Stress, Entschleunigung pur. Zusammen genießen wir Yogastunden auf der Terrasse, unvergessliche Sonnenuntergänge, gute Gespräche und leckeres Essen mit Zutaten aus eigenem / regionalem Anbau – simple but special. Dazwischen gestaltest Du die Zeit, wie Du sie brauchst – am Pool, bei Spaziergängen durch die umliegende Landschaft, Slacklinen, Functional Training oder natürlich auch einfaches Nichtstun.

This is your time to create a Conscious Connection.

Wann findet es statt?

04.06.2023 – 10.06.2023

Welche Yogastile praktizieren wir?
Eine Yogastunde morgens, eine abends. Wir wechseln zwischen den folgenden Stilen ab – mal sportlich, mal sanft, mal groovy, mal meditativ.

Vinyasa Yoga – Bei diesem Yogastil verbinden wir Asanas durch fließende Bewegungen, manchmal sanft und ruhig, manchmal kraftvoll und dynamisch. Wir nehmen uns auch die Zeit, um die Asanas auszurichten und fokussieren uns in jeder Stunde auf einen speziellen Schwerpunkt, z.B. Schulter & Nacken, Becken oder Arm Balances.

Inside Flow – Beim Inside Flow bewegst Du dich durch eine fließende Abfolge von Asanas geleitet von deinem Atem und moderner Musik. Abgeleitet von Vinyasa Flow ist Inside Flow eine Symbiose aus Tradition und Evolution. Durch diese anmutigen Sequenzen und einen gleichmäßigen Atem lernst Du den Blick von außen nach innen zu richten und entwickelst eine tiefe Verbundenheit zu Dir selbst.

Yin Yoga – Yin Yoga ist eine sanfte jedoch tiefgehende Praxis, in der man sich mit Unterstützung von Hilfsmitteln in die Asanas hineinschmelzen lässt. Auf der körperlichen Ebene löst Du Verspannungen und stimulierst das tiefe Gewebe. Auch mental erlaubst Du dir loszulassen und vollkommen im Hier und Jetzt zu sein. So schaffst Du Raum im Körper und Geist, um neue Erfahrungen und Einblicke zu empfangen.

O interesse pelo Movimento Humano surgiu com o início da prática de Artes Marciais aos 8 anos, competindo a nível Nacional, Europeu e Mundial entre 2004 e 2017, seguindo com a prática, investigação e ensino até aos dias de hoje. Em paralelo, a prática de outras modalidades como o Basquetebol, Parkour veio despertar o interesse pelo “cultivar” do que é “SER HUMANO” numa perspectiva da fisicalidade e para uma prática generalista e sem barreiras.
Esta foi a ignição para, após a Licenciatura em Educação Física e Desporto e um estágio em Reabilitação e Exercício Clínico, procurar e encontrar o trabalho de Ido Portal e a sua Movement Culture principal contentor de informação responsável pela minha prática/investigação sobre o Movimento Humano.

ENG:

The interest about Human Movement arose with the start of my martial arts practice at age 8, competing at National, European and World level between 2004 and 2017, continuing as practitioner, researcher and teacher to this day. In parallel, the practice of other modalities such as basketball, Parkour and others, aroused interest about the “cultivation” of what is “BEING HUMAN” from a physical perspective and for a generalist practice without barriers.
This was the ignition to, after the Degree in Physical Education and Sports and an Internship on Rehab & Clinical Exercise, look for and find the work of Ido Portal and its Movement Culture, the information container responsible for my practice / research about the Human Movement for the last few years.
Teacher for Physical Exercise Professionals in the areas of Bodyweight Strength Training and Joint Mobility.

Begib Dich auf eine Reise zu Dir selbst und der starken Frau, die Du bist. Das Ziel unserer gemeinsamen Zeit ist es, Deine innere Kriegerin zu erkunden und Dein bedingungsloses Vertrauen in Dich selbst und Deine körperliche wie mentale Stärke zu festigen. Dieses Retreat steht im Zeichen der Balance zwischen Kraft und Sanftheit, Stärke und Ruhe. 

Zusammen in einer kleinen Gruppe von Frauen werden wir lernen, ehrlich zu uns selbst zu sein, unsere inneren Kämpfe klug auszufechten und unsere Stärken und Schwächen gleichermaßen zu umarmen. Denn viel zu oft unterschätzen wir unsere eigenen Fähigkeiten und machen uns kleiner als wir sind. Wir schaffen eine Basis aus Stärke, Selbstvertrauen, Wertschätzung, Mut und Zuversicht, die es Dir ermöglicht, Dein volles Potential auszuschöpfen. 

Um Deine physische Power zu stärken, erwartet Dich ein Mix aus Budokon Yoga, Budokon Mobility & Movement, Vinyasa Yoga, Functional Fitness, Strength Training und boxing skills. Für Deinen Geist kombinieren wir den physischen Teil mit Atemtechniken, Meditation und offenen Gesprächsrunden. Wir tauchen in unser Inneres ein und spüren dort unsere tiefsitzenden Verhaltensmuster und Glaubenssätze auf, die uns daran hindern, unsere Komfortzone zu verlassen und neue Chancen zu nutzen.

Diese Kombination wird Dich körperlich wie mental fordern. Dafür wirst Du mit dem Gefühl von Kraft und Selbstvertrauen belohnt, das Dich erfüllt, nachdem Du Dich erfolgreich durchgekämpft hast. Im Kleinen wirst Du diese Erfahrungen in diesem Retreat sammeln, im Großen zuhause weiter daran arbeiten können. Mein Ziel ist es, Dich stärker, kraftvoller und energiegeladener aus diesem Retreat zu entlassen und Dir den Mut und das Selbstvertrauen zu geben, Deine Träume zu verfolgen und Neues auszuprobieren.

Nimm Dir eine bewusste Auszeit auf dieser kleinen Farm in Portugal inmitten der Natur – einem Ort, der es Dir wie kein anderer erlaubt, Erdung zu spüren, Stille zu genießen und Einfachheit zu schätzen. Lass Dich durch eine Woche führen, in der Du zu Deinem Ursprung kommst, Deine innere Kriegerin stärkst und Körper, Geist und Seele mit Deiner Umgebung und der Natur verbindest.

Werde die starke Frau, die Du bist.

CONSCIOUS CONNECTION YOGA RETREAT

When?

30.07.2023 – 05.08.2023

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. 

What is included?

• 6 nights accommodation in a double/twin room, 4-bed room with individual sleep cocoons, or glamping tents (with two beds)

• 2 healthy, vegetarian meals a day

• Water, tea & fruit during the day (Four Trees is alcohol free)

• 2 yoga classes a day (vinyasa, Inside Flow, or yin yoga), mats & props are available

• Transfer (by Four Trees) to the accommodation from Funcheira or Ourique train/bus stations

A typical day

• Sunrise & tea
• Yoga
•  Breakfast
• 1 hour of nothing
• Free time
• Lunch
• Extra activities & free time*
• Yoga
• Evening meal as a group

*Extra activities: meditation, journalling, ice bath, handstand playtime, and slack-lining.

How do I get there?

To reach the beautiful Four Trees Farm, you can fly to Faro or Lisbon and then take the train to Funcheira or bus to Ourique. You’ll get more travel recommendations when you book 🙂 Note: If you would like to come to Four Trees earlier or stay a little longer, simply send an email to Four Trees; they can usually accommodate this.

Any questions? 

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me an email. All bookings can be made via the Four Trees website.
