THE PORTUGAL RETREAT

We’re taking over both houses - Casa Terra and Quinta Sol d’Água - on a restored traditional Algarvian farm near Tavira, close to the Ria Formosa Natural Park. Immersed in orchards and kitchen gardens, an edible landscape guided by permaculture, and the easy hush of the Algarve coast. A far cry from day to day city dwelling and the perfect habitat for the stilling we crave.  

Across the two homes you’ll find calm, spacious bedrooms- each with ensuite and a private terrace.Simple, natural materials, and room setups that can be made as a double or twin or booked solo.

Outside, linger on the sun terrace with its panoramic sea view, float in one of two pools or take a quiet dip in the natural swimming pond, tucked into the garden and alive with local flora and fauna. The main terrace gathers everyone together with a cosy lounge, a long dining table, and an outdoorwood-fired oven,perfect for long, simple meals under a pergola wrapped in grape vines.

Her movement background has majorly influenced her teaching style, creating fun, energetic playlists that match her dynamic and creative choreography. Expect a flowing, grounding Barre practice with fundamental Pilates influences. Classes are well balanced, focusing on achieving that signature Barre burn paired with juicy restorative stretches throughout. Whether its your first Barre class or you’re an experienced practitioner you’ll leave feeling energised, aligned and centred.

Hwyl founder, Lydia has been passionate about movement from a child, be it countless hours of dance classes or attempting back flips off the living room sofa- it made her feel alive. Her initial discovery of Yoga was in her later teenage years, the curiosity in the practice continually grew from this point.

Almost ten years on from then Lydia trained to be a yoga teacher and immersed herself in the wider practice. Training & working as a contemporary dancer, Lydia was curious to learn people’s yogic journeys from all different walks of life, ages, physicality's & capabilities, consequently learning what it really means to teach yoga, share and encourage experiences. Lydia furthered her studies with dynamic practices of The Rocket and Mandala Vinyasa & Shamanism with The Yoga People in 2017 and later went on to train in Pregnancy Yoga.

Lydia teaches a vitalising & powerful practice that is dappled with functional movement and explorative sequencing. Believing, that the practice of yoga should not be about embodying an idealistic view of how it should look but rather connecting our conscious mind to a feeling. Additionally, and possibly most importantly, representing the ethos that yoga is a full-bodied experience that lingers long after the physical practice. Lydia gives huge thanks to all of her teachers that inspired her curiosity in this practice.
