On a beautiful place in Portugal, 10 minutes walking distance from the beach , in a sublime spot in Sintra is located Shamballah , a Yoga retreat + Surf camp where you can really find inner peace in heaven …
The retreat is run by Patricia and Zarqa, a great couple with lots of stories to share and a huge love for vegetarian food. Patricia’s great yoga lessons in the morning or Zarqa’s evening meditation takes you to a a state of self realisation.
I was pretty obsessed with Zarqa’s vegans dishes, the food at Shamballah is delicious, full of colours and new flavours.
These experiences, the beautiful landscapes, all in a relaxing and serene environment and the people you meet there ( all from different countries and cultures ) is a mix to a wonderful holiday you are going to remember for life.
But this place is more than just having a holiday. It’s having time to work on the self , work on your flexibility, improving your surf skills, and learn something new.
