Tour Details

Portugal and Spain on the Iberian Peninsula is part of Europe but also feels exclusive and private with the Pyrenees to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Meitteranean Sea to the west. Immerse yourself in the gorgeous landscape, art, music, dancing, and oh, the food! We always start with yoga! Traveling with your private yoga and meditation teacher enhances each experience that Om Sunshine Yoga and Stone & Compass plan for you.

Bom Dia! Good day in Portugese, is the start to all conversations in Portugal. The very friendly people here smile, nod, and greet everyone that they come in contact with.
As we do on all of the Om Sunshine Yoga Retreats and Adventures, we are avoiding to busiest tourist destinations and introducing you to the beauty of nature and local culture. Our time in Portugal will be spent in the Cascais region to the south of Lisbon. This seaside community is where Portugese people go for holiday. The weather, beaches, hikes, food, and locals will feed your soul and possibly inspire you to spend more time here in the future.

Spain! Almost every travellers bucket list item. You can’t go wrong in a place that perfected the Tapas small plate eating culture. Early evenings are an event in Spanish towns. Where locals and visitors gather over drinks and food to unwind and socialize. We can’t forget about the history in the south of Spain though. A culture that began with the Phoenicians in 70BC has had numerous influences in almost 3,000 years and will show you some of the highlights. That includes the stunning architecture of the Alahambra.

For this portion of the trip we sought out lodging with a yoga shala for our daily practice. This beautiful space will be our yoga home base for a few days. The place that we come home to at night after hiking, exploring, learning, eating, and loving!

Finally, all Om Sunshine Yoga retreats have a water feature or several. Our grand finale will be a catamaran cruise in the Meditteranean Sea!. We always end on an extra high note.
Woven into each day’s adventure will be yoga and meditation. What good is a bucket list vacation if you don’t take the time to pause and sit in the moment, absorbing the wonders that surround you? All yoga sessions are accessible for all levels of experience.
