Practice & Stay in Silves
Silves
Our light-filled yoga studio is situated at the heart of the old city of Silves, once a capital of the Algarve, and at the crossroads of many mystical influences over the centuries. Today a quiet and beautiful town only 11km from the South coast, Silves was once a religious and cultural centre of Phoenicians, Arabs, Egyptians, Romans and Portuguese. Its historical importance is revealed by the castle and its wall, the museum with a cistern from the time of the Arabs, the large cathedral, which was was once a mosque, and the permanent activity of archaeologists.
Around Silves there are many places to visit - a watermill with a natural "swimming pool"; the holy mountain of Monchique, known for the big eucalyptus trees and water springs; the river; the beautiful South coast beaches. Free afternoons will give you the opportunity to explore.
The Studio
Our light-filled studio boasts spectacular views from the top of the old city. It is fully equipped with yoga mats, props and blankets, but you are welcome to bring your own mat and anything else you may require for your comfort. In between workshop sessions, you are welcome to walk around our the beautiful garden, full of flowers, orange, lemon and tangerine trees or simply sit by the swimming pool and relax.
Accommodation options
When coming for a workshop, it is always better to stay in the quiet surroundings near the yoga studio. We offer reasonably priced fully equipped houses for rental with double bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens in the typical old Portuguese style. Each house has its own private terrace, which then opens to a beautiful shared garden, full of orange, lemon and tangerine trees, a small swimming pool, beautiful sculptures and places to rest and recharge.
You may share a house with other yogis participating in the workshop. This will give you the opportunity to share your experience, but also have space to withdraw and contemplate alone.
