The Heart of Dharma
A Devotional Dharma Yoga Retreat with Pam, Andrew & Daniele
VilaFoia · Monchique · Algarve, Portugal
Join Pam, Andrew and Daniele for a retreat dedicated to exploring the essence of Dharma Yoga, inspired by the teachings of Sri Dharma Mittra and the timeless wisdom of classical yoga.
Four days of Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, Thai Massage and special workshops in the beautiful hills of southern Portugal.
Together, we will explore the practice in its fullest expression, embracing not only the physical body but also the breath, the mind, in a journey of self-discovery, compassion, and connection with our true nature.
Surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the Algarve, this retreat offers an opportunity to step away from everyday distractions, deepen your practice, and reconnect with what truly matters.
An invitation to open the heart, quiet the mind, and rediscover the peace that resides within.
The Program
The heart of Dharma Yoga lies in understanding that the physical practice is only one aspect of a much greater journey. Three leading Dharma Yoga teachers.
Over 40 years of combined study and experience with Sri Dharma Mittra. Inspired by the eight-limbed path described by Patanjali, our retreat will offer opportunities to explore Yoga and conscious living.
