Apura Yoga Lisbon Guerrilla Yoga retreat

This year Apura Yoga is offering something special in Lisbon. We call it the Guerilla Yoga retreat because during a 5 day period we take you to the streets of Lisbon to do yoga in some of the most breathtaking places of the city. We have scouted out the whole city of Lisbon and all of its hidden corners to be able to bring you to some amazing and historical spots. On this retreat you will not just be any ordinary tourist in Lisbon, you will learn to know this beautiful city like the back of your hand. Come and join us on this magical adventure that you will remember for a lifetime.

Each morning we will practice a nice refreshing Vinyasa yoga session before breakfast. After that we have a nice breakfast and then pack the mats and check out the different Lisbon Bairros. We give you a nice tour of each area and a brief history each day. In the afternoons you are free to wander around and then in the evening before sunset we meet once again to do yoga in a special location we have scouted out somewhere in the city. In the evenings we are also free to wander around and possibly check out a live Fado event or other night life.

There will be no accommodation provided on this retreat. You are welcome to stay anywhere you would like to in Lisbon. We can recommend places for you to stay, but we also will be doing our yoga practice in the morning at Lisb’on hostel which overlooks the Tejo River. If you would like to book with them directly or get other information about nice locations, just contact us and we will send you the itinerary.

The Lisbon Guerrilla Yoga retreat location of where we will do the yoga each day is a surprise, but the retreat itself will take place for 5 days (Mon-Fri) in Lisbon. Our meeting point each morning is in Lisb’on hostel where we will do yoga each morning looking out over the riverTejo. Once we have registered you in our program we will send out an itinerary of where we meet each day and what part of Lisbon we explore.

Food will not be provided on this event. We suggest that you book your accommodations with Lisb’on Hostel under our name so that they can provide you with a breakfast service. They also have a full kitchen which is available for use.
