15 May 2027 - 22 May 2027

26&2 Retreat with Jasmine Nash

1-2 daily Bikram 26&2 hot yoga classes will be offered at this retreat in addition to other sessions such as yin yoga, the e84 Intermediate class and posture technique workshops. D’Alijo has a purpose built hot room as well as a mountaintop studio that we’ll use for meditation and unheated sessions. Choose to attend both daily classes for a more “bootcamp” experience, or pick and choose your sessions for a more relaxed pace.

All rooms are just a short walk from the yoga room. D’Alijo is situated on three hectares of rolling hills and terraced land, complete with an olive grove. It consists of a main house with five bedrooms, five wooden chalet-style rooms with outdoor verandas, and three deluxe chalets. There is also a heated swimming pool, hiking trails on-site, and the compound is surrounded by beautiful countryside and evergreen mountains. Check out more images here!

 

Activities

Nearby activities include visiting an adventure park, a scenic village, or spending the day in Porto. These excursions are optional, as many people prefer to come and simply retreat into the nature at D’Alijo. They will be arranged based on group interest for an extra cost. There are numerous hiking trails, one of which leads to a swimming hole and another to the onsite pool! Massages and other bodywork treatments are available at an extra cost.

Food

Daily light breakfast, brunch, and dinner are included, along with a refreshing daily green juice. D’Alijo Retreat Centre is a 100% vegetarian property that can accommodate any dietary restrictions if communicated in advance. Whether you are joining for relaxation or a deeper yoga and meditation immersion, every meal is designed to nourish your body throughout your stay.

Travel

Book your flight into the Porto Airport (OPO). Shuttles can be arranged from OPO to D’Alijo Retreat Centre anytime after 1:30pm on May 15th, or you may choose to rent a car, as rentals are inexpensive in Portugal. Ideally, arrive in time for class at 5:30pm.

Shuttles can be arranged to OPO as early as needed on the 22nd. The latest shuttle option will be at 11 am. If you choose to take a shuttle, you will be buddied up with others in the group when possible.
