Program
The programme starts at 8:30 AM, but you can arrive later, and finishes at 8:30 PM on weekdays or 12:30 PM on weekends, although you can leave earlier. Hotel check-in is from 2:30 PM and check-out is until 12:00 PM. You can leave your luggage in our staff room at OM Academy and use the changing rooms and showers. Yoga mats, straps and blocks are provided. You may bring a yoga towel and Pilates anti-slip socks, although they are not mandatory. Sports shoes are required for fitness classes.
The programme can be as intensive or as laid-back as you like. You can choose a deeper experience by combining yoga and Pilates with meditation, deep relaxation therapies and our detox liquid diet programme, or combine the benefits of yoga and Pilates with sightseeing and fun in Porto. We also partner with a surf school and can arrange surf lessons during the week. The programme is intended as a “time-off” relaxation and cleansing experience for body and mind, but you can also combine it with your professional and other daily activities. We suggest taking 2 to 3 Yoga, Pilates or Fitness classes per day, which you can choose from the daily planner below.
The daily sound bath and relaxation/meditation sessions in the Ganban Room can help induce deep relaxation and leave you feeling fully restored. We offer 30-minute or 1-hour sessions that can be fitted into your schedule. The wellness workshops provide an opportunity to discuss and reflect on specific wellness topics and last 60 to 90 minutes. The body sculpt massage with manual lymphatic drainage is a technique designed to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow around the organs of the digestive system, promoting cleansing and volume reduction in the abdominal area. We also offer relaxation massages and other therapies, which you can add to your program.
