Inner Awakening Retreat
Yoga, Meditation & Chakra Balancing in Sunny Algarve
February 22nd - March 1st
Join senior Dru tutors for a nurturing 6-day retreat in the warm sunshine of the Algarve. You'll experience deep rest and inspiration with transformative classes and lectures, and free time to explore the coastline in this magical location.
Strengthen your practice
Refresh your yoga and meditation sadhana with experienced Dru tutors. Learn new tools to keep your mind stable and focused. In these challenging times, find inner strength and joy to nourish your spiritual heart.
Find your inner sunshine
February in the Algarve is mild with temperatures around 12-20 degrees - a balm for those coming from the colder Northern countries! There will be free time to enjoy walks along the cliffs, sandy beaches, and even a bracing paddle in the sea.
Connect with your community

- Complete the day with dinner - enjoying the extensive hot buffet and luscious desserts.
'This retreat exceeded all of my expectations, it has been out of this world. I feel I have become new from the inside out. Everything contributed - from the sun, the sea so near to the hotel, the fabulous teachings, the sense of nurturing and care from the tutors, support staff, and fellow students. I have so many treasures to take home.'
