The perfect mix of yoga, good food & great company

Wanja A

The peaceful location, the beautiful accommodation, the delicious food, and most of all Vera and Cam's wonderful hospitality.

Kay Wong

The food was some of the best I've ever eaten. So fresh and plentiful. You couldn't find a more beautiful yoga studio. The location was perfect for exploring rural Portugal and the coast but within easy reach of Lisbon.

Louise Oppe

Quinta Camarena is a magical place in the countryside in the Alientejo region. I was here for a yoga retreat and had the most relaxing week.

Paige Van Riper

In short: the perfect mix of relaxation, community and new experiences, surrounded by nature. I can recommend Quinta Camarena to everyone, and I'll definitely will be back someday!

Lissanne Veen

A space to reconnect, recalibrate, and breathe, without the rigid rules or expectations.

ABOUT THIS RETREAT

You have been meaning to do a yoga retreat. But every time you look one up, something puts you off, whether it is the 5am wake up calls, the green juice, or the people who have already completed their 200 hour teacher training. This is not that. The NotSoSerious Yoga Retreat is for people who love yoga, or are curious about it, but want their week to feel like a real holiday. 


You will enjoy morning flows in an open air studio set in the forest, a coastal hike along the Atlantic, and a glass of natural Alentejo wine with dinner, giving you time to actually do nothing. Our instructors adapt every class to whoever is in the room, complete beginners and regular practitioners alike. What stays the same is that the setting is beautiful, the food is exceptional, and nobody is keeping score.

WHAT MAKES THIS RETREAT

What Makes Your Practice Distinct

Daily Forest Shala Practice

Personalized To You
