Almashala Yoga

Amazing place and great yoga teachers. Highly recommended

great atmosphere and very good practice!!

I loved Almashala! The teachers are fantastic and the place has a really authentic and wonderful atmosphere. A great place for yogis of all levels to practice!

Very relaxing place managed by adorable people in a beautiful and quite landscape. Near by the sea and Ericeira's surf spots

This is a special and beautiful place with excellent teachers and a very warm and loving atmosphere! Thank you thank you thank you! 😊💋

My stay at Almashala was beyond my expectations and I found there a corner of peace and amazing practice studio with many learning possibilities. Host Lavinia Casaburo is a wonderful and wise yogi. Longing to go back!!

We absolutely loved our week with Samu and Lavi. They have all the bases covered for a week of experiencing a variety of yoga styles, absolutely delicious Italian-inspired vegan food, a relaxing space (in an authentic Portuguese village), a variety of teaching styles which complement each other and enough free time to relax in between it all. We stayed in Tanpreet's house a short walk away as the dorm was full (a friend of theirs in the yoga community) and had everything we needed. The music we shared on several evenings was a highlight, as was the kundalini yoga session. Honestly we could have stayed for months. Thank you for accommodating our beginner level along with the more advanced in the room so well, for teaching us so much and for inspiring us to keep practicing afterwards!! 🙏 Oh and the pizza night. Oh my goodness. The best pizza I've ever had? Quite likely.

I spent a few invaluable days at Almashala, a retreat with incredibly relaxing atmosphere that transcended from all the staff involved in running it. One could sense the calming vibes on entering, from unassuming, understanding, knowing and helpful teachers, and the supporting members of the group. All softly spoken, interacting with ease, spreading a healing atmosphere around the place. The yoga classes, the staff, the food, the accommodation (I stayed in Casa Hara) and the best ever massages from Mali were all I needed to invigorate me. I could go on writing and recommending other beneficial aspects of my stay there, however I would like to suggest that you just try to get a place there, soak the vibes, and spread the word so that other people get the taste of this special venue. Thank you again Lavinia, Samu, Mali, Diana, Alessia and Danny, and Coco.

I had a beautiful time in almashala! Lavi and samu are the best teachers ever and so complimentary each other. That's retreat is exactly what i was looking for i almost felt in India! They are lovely person and the place is amazing. At the end you can really feel the difference than when you arrive, i improved my yoga skills. Thank you for this amazing week.

Lavi and Sami are the best yoga teachers! And if you book a retreat with them, they will provide with the nicest food, the best company, great accommodation, awesome massages and everything you need for an unforgettable holiday. Almashala yoga was such a great discovery and we will go back home relaxed and with our hearts full of joy, love and good memories.

A special place made of beautiful people. You can breathe an atmosphere and spirit of authentic yoga. More kinds of yoga practices, all explained e learned with very passion e knowledge. It was an intensive experience that I suggest to those who want to take a break from a daily routine and have a gift for themselves. Thanks to Lavi and Samu for everything. :)

A beautiful retreat where you can fully engage with the practice. The teachers have created a safe space which just felt like home. They are always attentive to the individual needs, so progress is noticeably made. Will be returning in a heartbeat.

I returned to Almashala for the second time in October and again spent a magical week there that is still nurturing me now. With lots of love, attention and dedication, Lavi and Sami truly have created a home for the soul and both are so generous in sharing their knowledge and wisdom. If you are looking to experience yoga as a way of life and to be a part of a beautiful and inspiring community, book a retreat at Almashala. It is a privilege to spend time in this beautiful space you have created, Lavi and Samu, and I can't wait to be back next year!

Words cannot describe how much this retreat was amazing, it went beyond my expectations. The place makes you feel at home, Lavi and Samu are really good and passionate teachers, I never had better vegan food before and the region is really good for hiking. With the others yogis we felt like a family at the end. I highly recommend this retreat and for sure I will go again !

The retreat center is hosted by a wonderful couple who is living their own dream. And they want to share it with you! The yoga practice is very refined and you will learn a lot. The location is wonderful with lots of nature around. It is no wonder that many people come back after their first retreat. Samu and Lavi, thank you so much for the experience!

Lavi and Samu have created a wellness retreat in every sense: a week of yoga training, meditation, and delicious vegan meals! The retreat center is located in a town without too much distraction, about an hour drive from Lisbon, a 45min walk away from the beach and a short car ride to the nearby beach town of Ericeira. Throughout the week there are two yoga classes scheduled per day, with some other unplugged local activities sprinkled in between including: sitar relaxation, a yoga philosophy discussion, and a kirtan. Lavi and Samu are extraordinary hosts & instructors who make every guest feel welcomed and cared for. We hope to see them again next year!

Todo perfecto 😊 Un ambiente muy sano

I recently attended the Yoga retreat at Almashala, and it was a rejuvenating experience. The retreat offered two yoga sessions daily—one in the morning and another in the afternoon—providing a perfect balance between practice and relaxation, with ample time to explore the beautiful surroundings. The instructors, Levi and Samu, were exceptionally skilled and supportive, enhancing the experience with their deep knowledge and engaging teaching styles. Fernanda’s meals were a highlight, each dish crafted with care and bursting with flavor. The friendly group and serene atmosphere made the retreat not only a time of physical rejuvenation but also a wonderful opportunity to connect with others and unwind in a tranquil setting.
