Yoga 
 

The practice of Yoga, with its postures (asanas), and its techniques (pranayamas), the different meditations and relaxation techniques (Nidra) seeks to bring an improvement on the quality of life and a harmony between the different bodies (physical, emotional and mental). It helps us to ground ourselves, relax, detox and expand, not only the body. It expands our consciousness and changes the way we see the world.

 

“The perfection of Yoga is to be exactly as we Are.”

 

Yoga at Quintinha do Mar offers a diversified range of possibilities, in the practice, that may be achieved by anyone, independent of their physical condition.

 

Day after day, and as we develop the connection with Yoga, the practices adapt, either to the moment as to the needs of the group, and it can be quiet or more dynamic.

 

The purpose is always self-knowledge, presence and full connection with your Being and with everything that surrounds you.

 

Surf
 

When practiced with consciousness Surf is a great tool for self-knowledge, in that its benefits transcend our physical body.

 

There is something magical when we are at sea, we quickly enter a meditation state, when all that matters is being present. We are filled with a deep connection sensation to the whole, recognizing what exists within and outside ourselves.

 

Surf practice is a metaphor to life, teaches us to develop patience, to observe and respect nature, it helps us to maintain a positive and relaxed attitude. It strengthens our resilience and prepares us for the most challenging situations of our daily life.

 

The more connected we are with our Self, the more we’ll flow with the waves or with any other situation in our lives.

​

Have you never practiced Surf? Don’t worry. Our practices adapt not only to your experience as to the dynamic of the group.
