For camping..Parque De Campismo São Miguel \nSurroundings: Odeceixe-Praia de Odeceixe\, Portugal \nOdeceixe is a village and civil parish in the northern part of the municipality of Aljezur\, in the Portuguese Algarve. \nOdeceixe is a seaside town in Portugal’s Costa Vicentina region. Found within the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park\, this relatively undiscovered destination is a haven for surfers and nature lovers. It’s perhaps best known as a stop along the Rota Vicentina\, a network of hiking trails offering sweeping coastal views and pastoral scenery through the Alentejo and Algarve regions of Portugal. \nThe beach of Praia de Odeceixe is a favorite of both surfers and families.  The Rio de Seixe meets the sea here\, looping around to form a horseshoe-shaped beach and calm lagoon.\nThis lagoon is perfect for swimming and paddleboarding\, while the strong waves of the main beach draw a crowd of surfers and sun-worshippers. \nThe beach is located 3 kilometers from the village of Odeceixe. You can park your car on the southern cliffs. If there is no space\, you can park your car on the side of the road.\nThe area is unspoiled and the landscape surrounding the beach is stunning. On the northern side of the beach there are steep cliffs. On the west side of these cliffs is a big rock that looks like the fin of a shark. This rock is a landmark which makes it easy to recognize Praia de Odeceixe. \nThe closest towns on both sides of Odeceixe are Rogil (9km)\, Aljezur (15km) and Lagos (48km) on the South side and S. Teotónio (12km)\, Odemira (27km) and Vila Nova de Milfontes (42km) on the North side. Here you will find everything you need like bigger supermarkets\, cafés & restaurants\, bakeries\, organic shops and a charming local farmers markets on the weekends. \nHiking\nIf you like hiking there are some great walking trails nearby. You can also find part of the long-distance Rota Vicentina trail (https://rotavicentina.com/en/walking/). This route takes you to amazing places and stunning viewpoints. \nSurfing\nPraia de Odeceixe is a great beach for surfing and bodyboarding. There are many waves on the ocean side and usually there are plenty of surfers in the water. The surf school based on Praia de Odeceixe can be found from here: https://odeceixesurfschool.com. There are classes for all skill levels\, including beginners. If you don’t need classes but just need surf equipment or bodyboard\, you can also rent them from for a fair price.\nOther amazing beaches within 15-30 min drive away are Arrifana\, Monte Clerigo and Amoreira beaches. \nHow To get there?\nFaro airport is 125 km from Odeceixe and Lisbon airport 225 km. The easies way is to rent a small and inexpensive car from the Faro or Lisbon airport and drive to the Odeceixe village. Then you can explore easily the closest beaches\, nature and villages. \nFrom Lisbon:\nThere is a bus from Sete Rios\, Lisbon (https://www.busbud.com/en) for about 4 hours and 19€ to Odeceixe (bus stop on the main road by the village where you will have few minutes walk to the Yoga Shala and Odeceixe village). We’ve been taking a taxi (4km) to Sete Rios bus station from the front of the Lisbon airport. The trip cost about 15€. The bus ticket is better to buy from the company’s web site\, as the ticket office at the bus station can have a long line. You can buy the ticket on line also just before your bus trip\, if you are not sure which time you will make it to the bus station. \nOrdered taxi from the Lisbon airport to Odeceixe will cost about 250€. Check www.gettransfer.com for the lowest taxi rates. \nFrom Faro: \nFrom Faro airport there is a public transport to Odeceixe\, but it is complicated and will take probably longer than the bus trip from Lisbon. \nOrdered taxi from the Faro airport (which we have been using) cost about 120€ (with https://taxipinheiro.com) (or check the rates from www.gettransfer.com) and can be paid by credit card\, which is not too bad rate if you are traveling with company. There are many other taxi companies to book a taxi online. \nLocal taxis in Odeceixe area:\nEdgar Bicho +351 964 631 418\nLuis Marrero +351 917 574 630\nLucas & Lucas +351 967 910 227\nSilvia +351 939 780 396\, +351 937 333 274\nAs there are not too many taxis around\, it is good to book the taxi many days before your planned trip. \nPhysical Adjustments + Informed Consent: \nWhile the assumption in the Mysore room is that people come for physical adjustments\, we practice asking for permission before physically adjusting you. Consent is crucial and non-negotiable. If you’re happier not to be physically adjusted during your asana practice\, we respect this choice as well. We will check in on a regular basis regarding consent to being physically adjusted. Some days you may want to be adjusted and other days not\, and we welcome this. Feel free to be yourself and find your own way to practice Ashtanga. We are here to help you in your yoga process. \nOur Big Why:\nWe believe the practice of yoga can heal the world\, both on and off the mat. We also understand yoga to contain wisdom for both individual self- transformation and collective\, societal progress. In this spirit\, we are survivor-centric and survivor-oriented\, and abuse\, sexual assault\, and discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated. This is a caste protected space and we do not subscribe to casteist beliefs or practices. We recognize our aspiration for our yoga spaces to feel welcoming and warm for anyone who wishes to take practice. We continually contemplate how we can make our yoga spaces braver and more accessible to all\, regardless of race\, gender\, ethnicity\, caste\, sexual identity\, class\, age\, nationality\, immigrant status\, disability etc. Our workshop follows braver space guidelines. \nMental Health Disclaimer:\nYoga can be an effective and beneficial tool for reaching a more peaceful state of mind\, managing stress better and getting physically well. Our workshops and retreats are designed for people with normal physical and mental conditions. If you are on medication\, are currently taking (or have taken) therapy and/or counseling\, or have any known mental condition(s) that would in any way hinder your participation in a workshop or retreat\, please inform us\, as well as your doctor/therapist before registering. We do not provide any specialist therapy or counseling at our workshops/retreats who would be able to help\, should the need arise. If a student’s behaviour causes disruption for other workshop participants and the teachers\, he or she will be requested to stop participating in the workshop and to seek appropriate help. In such a situation\, we do not offer refunds\, but are available to provide any documents necessary for insurance claims. \n  \nWorkshop Fees: (including 23% vat) \nFull workshop August 22 – 27 with 5 Mysore mornings\, Friday’s Led class and all afternoon sessions 360 €/week \nMysore mornings x 5 + Friday Led class if you want to do only the mornings 240€ \nYou can drop-in for the afternoon classes if you feel so and pay them separately. \nWeekend August 25-27 with 2 Mysore mornings and one Led class (Friday) & afternoon sessions 220€ \nSingle classes (Mysore or Led)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 40 € \nSingle classes (Afternoon techniques)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 50€ \nSingle class (Pranayama\, meditation\, lectures)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nSingle class (Workshop opening)\, possible if there will be space in the shala 20€ \nCancellation policy: \nIn case of cancellation the payment is not refundable after August 9th 2023.

Otherwise\, we use the honor system and invite you to be transparent with us regarding your reason for a discounted tier. \nWhy discounts? \nWe believe the practice of yoga can heal the world\, both on and off the mat. We have witnessed the wisdom contained within the tradition of yoga for both individual self- transformation and collective\, societal progress. In this spirit\, we recognize our aspiration for our yoga spaces to feel welcoming and warm for anyone who wishes to take practice. We continually contemplate how we can make our yoga spaces safer\, welcome and more accessible to all\, regardless of race\, gender\, ethnicity\, caste\, sexual identity\, class\, age\, nationality\, immigrant status\, disability etc. \nOne way we aspire to live by our yogic ideals is around economic accessibility. Yoga should not be a luxury only for those who can afford it. Yoga must be made accessible\, both economically and culturally\, for those who most need it. Based on our individual social locations and whether these identities are proximal to\, or distant from\, power and privilege\, we recognise that institutionalized oppression\, visible and invisible\, recognizable or hidden\, affects how some people are seen\, heard and valued in society. How some are afforded rest and ease and others are not. \nHow some can breath with peace. \nAnd how\, for others\, their breath gets stolen from them\, both literally and figuratively. \nWe wish to balance the scales. \nStarting with our circle of influence in our yoga space. \nIf you identify as more than one on the list above\, please choose the tier that is most essential for you to tend to. We recognize that some of you may embody multiple\, intersecting identities of marginalization\, and would be eligible for multiple discounts. We also acknowledge that there are several more intersections not mentioned that require care and equity. While we aim to extend as much community care out\, we must also protect our energy output and ensure our livelihood and needs as a family are also honored. \nFor those who embody social locations close(r) to societal privilege and power\, this is an invitation to be in active solidarity with others who move through society differently than you. We are sensitive to the fact that life is hard for us all. Being human is hard. However\, there are many experiences that are facilitated for one based on any number of factors\, and having privilege often means that we don’t need to notice the ways structures are set up in our favor. We invite you to pay the full price with a generous spirit. Equity\, meaning everyone getting what they need\, for those who have enjoyed privilege might sometimes feel like oppression. \nIn this moment\, breathe\, slow down and tend to yourself with care and honest accountability. \nFannie Lou Hamer is known to have said\, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” We are all needed to get where we need to be\, as an inter-species. Let’s start embodying this interdependence and interconnection with one another. \nSide by side. \nBoth on and off the yoga mat. \nMay all beings get what they need to be well\, cared for and tended to. \nMay our actions bring us one step closer to making it so. \n  \nPayment Options: \n1.
