The Yoga of Eating 4 day Retreat Portugal 1- 4 August

This retreat is designed to deepen your connection to food, the earth, and yourself through a holistic approach to eating and living.

At the heart of this retreat is the practice of yoga, which serves as a foundation for mindful eating and conscious living. 

Through daily yoga sessions, you will have the opportunity to cultivate awareness, presence, and balance in both body and mind. These practices help foster a deeper understanding of the body's needs, promoting a harmonious relationship with food and nourishment.

Central to "The Yoga of Eating" retreat is the concept of "soul food." Soul food goes beyond mere sustenance; it encompasses the idea of food as nourishment for the body, mind, and spirit. You will engage in hands-on culinary experiences where you will learn to prepare soulful, nutrient-dense meals using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from the retreat center's garden or local farms. 

These cooking classes emphasize the importance of mindful preparation, gratitude, and intentionality in creating meals that not only delight the palate but also nourish the soul.

In addition to culinary experiences, you will have the opportunity to engage in garden-to-table experiences, where you will connect with the earth and gain a deeper appreciation for the journey of food from seed to plate. 

Guided by knowledgeable instructors, you may take part in activities such as organic gardening, harvesting fresh produce, and learning about regenerative agricultural practices. These experiences offer a profound sense of connection to the land and foster a greater understanding of the interconnectedness of all living beings.

Throughout "The Yoga of Eating" retreat, yoga and food are woven together to create a holistic and transformative experience. You are invited to explore the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit through practices that nourish both the physical and energetic bodies. By cultivating mindfulness, gratitude, and reverence for the earth's abundance, you shall emerge from the retreat with a deeper sense of connection to yourself, your food, and the natural world.
