Program
Enjoy your stay at Omassim Guesthouse, whether you are seeking a wellness break or a more active vacation - additional wellness treatments and activities like surfing lessons, hiking and mountain biking trips, or creative evening events can be arranged. Create beautiful memories and let this be one of them!
Depending on your arrival day, you will be able to enjoy a maximum of 12 yoga classes per week:
- 6 days Vinyasa flow morning class (no morning yoga on Saturdays)
- 6 evening soft flow or Yin yoga class (no evening yoga on “dinner-out-day”)
There will also be five meditation meetings (30 minutes) before the evening yoga class (no meditation on Saturdays and dinner-out-day).
The yoga classes
Yoga is for everyone, so you do not need to be an aficionado, nor to be in top form. Each class will include the practice of pranayama (breathing exercises), asanas (seat, posture), and savasana (relaxation at the end of the class).
The morning classes will be Vinyasa flow, a gentle practice of Hatha yoga that focuses on the synchronization of the breath (prana) with the postures (asanas). It is a dance of the asanas, always in connection with breathing in order to calm the mind.
Let the breath be your guide to liberate your mind and increase your inner peace, harmony, love, and joy. Practicing yoga will help to harmonize the nervous system, increase the sense of balance of body and mind, and strengthen the lymphatic system.
Traditionally, the evening classes are softer, slower, Restorative or Yin yoga to integrate the day and prepare for a great rest for the night. Let yourself emerge into the flow of your yoga practice. Enjoy the breathing and relax deeply your body, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and also your mind. Let yourself lead your own breath through a class full of regeneration, recreation, and calm.
Rest, reset, relax, and rejuvenate body, mind, and soul with yoga, massages, and veggie meals. Enjoy breathtaking views while walking along the most stunning part of Portugal's west coast: Ericeira, the first world surfing reserve.
Omassim's cozy guesthouse invites you, whether you are seeking a wellness break or a more active vacation. Additional wellness treatments and a variety of activities, like surfing lessons, standup paddleboarding (SUP), guided mountain biking trips, bouldering, etc., can be arranged during your stay.

He has more than 15 years experience, has had many kettlebell trainings and specializations and his passion for fitness is what drives him to do it everyday and passing on the message to others that your body is your temple.Hide
