What is our daily schedule?
Below is a tentative idea of the daily schedule. As we get closer to the retreat, we’ll provide a firm schedule, so you can plan excursions.
8:00 – 9:00: Morning yoga
9:30 – 11:30: Breakfast/Brunch
11:30 – 5:00: Free time (spa treatment, lounge by the swimming pond, nature walks, take a trip to nearby Serpa 15 minutes away, and more)
5:00 – 6:30: Afternoon yoga
6:30 – 8:30: Dinner
*There will be two (or 3) days where we have scheduled activities/excursions but will still have one or two yoga classes that day depending on timing.
**Our itinerary is completely optional. You may schedule your own excursions at any time.
