Zarqa

Zarqa, born in Lisbon in 1977, embarked on a journey of self-discovery in 2001, leading him to meet his spiritual teacher and later embrace a monastic lifestyle at a meditation school from 2009 to 2015 before returning to Portugal. With extensive training in Ayurvedic massage since 2004, Zarqa specializes in a unique style. His upbringing by the ocean instilled in him a profound connection to the element, and he has developed a deep passion for surfing. Zarqa firmly believes that a healthy body and mind are critical for achieving clarity and unlocking one’s full potential.

Location

Praia da Aguda boasts a stunning and untamed beach that stretches along the cliffs, providing an idyllic destination for adventurous souls seeking tranquility and breathtaking scenery. Although access requires a climb down a flight of stairs, the beauty of the beach makes the effort worthwhile. A leisurely stroll along the coastline, extending two kilometers in either direction, leads to Magoito beach and the awe-inspiring village of Azenhas do Mar, perched atop the cliffs. The location is perfect for those who love exploring on foot and immersing themselves in the beauty of nature.

Conveniently located nearby are several attractions, including the picturesque village of Azenhas do Mar, a mere 15-minute walk away. The beach can be reached in just 10 minutes on foot, while the historic town of Sintra is a short 10-minute drive away.

De lessen worden met veel liefde en aandacht verzorgd, en het eten is voortreffelijk. Naast de lessen zijn er tal van andere activiteiten beschikbaar. Ik kan de Ayurvedische massage van Zarqa ten zeerste aanraden😇. Vergeet niet om ook een soundbath te proberen. Het strand is op loopafstand bereikbaar.

We had an incredible yoga experience - the courses were perfectly suited to our level, with clear and concise instructions and a comfortable pace. The evening meditation was especially soothing and helped us achieve a better night's sleep! The accommodations were spotlessly clean, and there were plenty of cozy spaces to relax, including the living room, terrace, and garden. The food was absolutely amazing - the lunch and dinner were both top-notch, and breakfast featured fresh fruit and delicious bread every day. The overall atmosphere was wonderful, and we had a fantastic time. During our free time, we enjoyed exploring the stunning beach within walking distance, taking breathtaking hikes along the cliffs, discovering the charming village nearby, and visiting the incredible castles and gardens in Sintra, which were only a short 20-25 minute drive away. Patricia and Zarqa also organized a variety of extra activities, including fantastic massages (we highly recommend the ayurvedic one!). We would absolutely recommend this retreat to anyone looking for an incredible yoga experience!
