Join Almashala – A Peaceful and Balanced Space for Yoga and Nature!
Almashala is a quiet and welcoming space where we focus on mental and physical balance, located close to both the ocean and nature. We’re just 10 minutes from Ericeira and 20 minutes from Sintra, near the village of Pobral. Our space is designed for those who want to truly live yoga and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
We have a small garden around the yoga area and land nearby.
Our cat, Leela, is the heart of the space and needs occasional care when we are away.
We hold retreats every two weeks. During one week, you'll focus on taking care of the house and garden, and during the other, you'll assist with the guests and help maintain the space.
Typical Retreat Day:
07:00-07:30 Meditation
08:00-09:45 Yoga Class
10:00-11:15 Plant-based Brunch
12:00-17:00 Free Time
17:00-18:30 Evening Yoga Class

You’re welcome to join us for morning meditation and enjoy breakfast before the day begins.
Your morning shift will involve helping clean up after breakfast and picking up fresh bread from the local bakery. We all share brunch. You'll clean the yoga hall, toilet, and dining area. Then, you’ll assist guests with any questions and care for the garden. On checkout day, your responsibilities will include helping with laundry and general clean-up.
During the weeks we are not hosting a retreat you'll cook your meals and
you'll volunteer in the house for general cleaning for the coming retreat.
What We Provide:
Morning snacks, tea, coffee, brunch, and dinner
Fresh, delicious vegan & gluten-free meals made daily by our chefs
Accommodation in the group room
You’re also welcome to join the evening yoga class,
giving you the chance to balance work and practice.

We love being outside and there’s plenty of nature to explore right on our doorstep.
We also enjoy playing guitar and singing in a circle, and every two Sundays we invite the community to join us for a special musical gathering.
Thank you!
