ASHTANGA YOGA RETREAT,  MOUNTAIN & LIFESTYLE, from the 16th to the 18th of May, at the Octant Hotel  Lousã.

It’s the perfect 3-day getaway in a charming palace in the center of the historic village of Lousã, and a program of classes and activities that aim to awaken your inspiration, joy and well-being!

The Ashtanga Cascais Retreats have existed for over a decade, where we have formed partnerships with special places, which are close to Nature and which welcome you with elegance and charm, such as the Octant  Hotel Lousã.

We organize Retreats with everything that we believe helps to renew and reinforce their joy, health and well-being, and that is why we offer our participants a set of transformative experiences.

The Octant Hotel Lousã is located in the former Salazares Palace or Viscondessa de Espinhal Palace. Expect a charming place full of history, special classes that invite you to take care of yourself, meals that emphasize local products, and moments to be in Nature, surrounded by greenery, trails, fabulous villages and river beaches.
