Our retreat is designed to accommodate all levels of yoga practitioners, from beginners to advanced. You&#8217;ll receive modifications that suit your level.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tDo I need to sing?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>We&#8217;d like to encourage everyone to express themselves and believe that everyone&#8217;s voice is beautiful!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat should I bring to the retreat?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>We recommend bringing comfortable clothing for yoga, travel yoga mat, meditation shawl, swimwear, sunscreen, a hat, a notebook and pen and a water bottle. Bring a waterproof and a warm down jacket as even in the Algarve there can be cool\u00a0or\u00a0rainy\u00a0days<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWill there be free time during the retreat?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, there will be free time each day to relax by the pool, explore the surrounding area, or enjoy quiet reflection time. You can also book additional spa treatments for extra relaxation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I come alone?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes &#8211; many do.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I share a twin room with someone of the same gender if I&#8217;m booking alone?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, we&#8217;ll create a WhatsApp group for all retreat guests so you can connect and see if someone else would like to share a room.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tIs it worth upgrading to a sea-view room?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Many guests find the sea-view rooms well worth the extra cost. The pool-view rooms may have a slight sea view but are on a lower floor, while land-view rooms overlook the car park or countryside. To save money, you can opt for a land-view room and enjoy the sea view from the pool area.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I extend my stay at the Baia Grande Hotel?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, you can extend your stay at the hotel before or after the retreat. Once you book your tuition, you can book your accommodation and let us know your dates.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat is the cancellation policy?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Please refer to our retreat booking terms for full details on cancellations. We offer a flexible policy, allowing cancellations up to a certain date for a full refund. We will be happy to assist with any concerns you may have.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat if I have dietary restrictions?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are plenty of vegetarian options, with many dishes containing eggs and cheese. Vegan options are more limited, but we&#8217;ll ensure at least one hot vegan dish per meal. If you&#8217;re vegan, we recommend bringing extra protein sources, such as almond butter or tinned tofu. Gluten-free bread is available but in limited quantities. We&#8217;ll reach out closer to the retreat to gather more details about your dietary needs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Are there any activities outside of the retreat schedule?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, you can book a mentoring session with our tutors on topics such as Goalsetting, Vedic Astrology, Chakra Analysis or a personal health plan. You might also want to explore the beautiful Algarve coastlines, cliff walks, boat rides or visit the local town Albufeira.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tDo I need to attend all sessions?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>No &#8211; choose what serves you.<br \/><\/p>\n\t\t\t\tI need to spread out my payments. When is the final deadline for paying for accommodation?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Accommodation payments must be completed by the end of January to secure your booking. Any payments made in February will incur an additional \u20ac20 supplement per person.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tShould I rent a car for the retreat?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you enjoy walking, you&#8217;ll find it easy to use local taxis, Ubers, or walk to nearby beaches. There are buses along the Algarve, though they&#8217;re not frequent in winter. The hotel offers a shuttle bus once a day to Albufeira and a local beach, but the schedule may not always align with the retreat&#8217;s activities. If you&#8217;d like to explore or need more flexibility, renting a car may be a good option.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Retreat in portugal Algarve Retreat: Yoga, Meditation &#038; Sacred Sound by the Sea Dates 7-13 February 2026 Level All levels of experience CPD Points 12 Points Group Size Max 30&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":244281143,"featured_media":38888,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"class_list":["post-8335","page","type-page","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/druyoga.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/druyoga.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/druyoga.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/druyoga.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/244281143"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/druyoga.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8335"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/druyoga.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8335\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40109,"href":"https:\/\/druyoga.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8335\/revisions\/40109"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/druyoga.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/druyoga.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
