PILATES CONNECT – Portugal
The perfect combo…
For many (myself included), life’s pleasures don’t only include that one single thing. When it comes to retreats, we love to combine our passion for Pilates with something else. For our Pilates Connect retreat in Portugal, we will return to the most wonderful combination of daily Pilates and Yoga classes. Lisa Longhurst is BASI trained with a successful Pilates studio in Lagos, Portugal. Ann de Jongh will complete our movement bliss with her energizing Ashtanga and restorative Yin Yoga classes. Top that with a private assessment session and a massage… no need for hesitation—all levels are welcome!

A natural playground surrounded by pinetrees
Our home for this retreat week will be Monte Velho, a breath-taking yoga retreat venue with a stunning round yoga hall, sitting on top of the hills of the Algarve’s west coast. The spaciousness of the retreat and its surroundings invite to get lost and fully immersed in nature. Adjacent to a holistic riding center and just a 10-minute drive to the closest surf beach it is really a family-perfect space.
The holistic center is designed to offer all the comfort and space we will need for our practise and own time. The main temple Casa das Pinhas with its heated floor will be our practise and movement space. Between activities you can relax or study in a variety of calm and peaceful spaces with amazing views of the surroundings. The nearby natural lake is part of the property and perfect for a swim or a SUP excursion. A large common living room invites to make new friends and as we will have the whole place to ourselves we can sing and dance and shout as much as we like!
The closest airport is Faro airport, from where it is a 1.5 hr drive to the retreat center. From Lisbon the drive by car is about 3 hrs. The most convenient it probably to rent a car, but if you would like us to help with your transportation let us know.
