It was exactly 3 and a half years ago that I fell in love with Alentejo. The wild coastline, the ever-changing landscapes, the people and the culture. It is a place where time stands still, which makes it so easy to be present. To slow down. To ground. After many years traveling the world this is where I'm rooting. So it is with great joy that I can host a yoga retreat at Herdade da Matinha. I want to share my love for the nature, my love for yoga and I want to share this beautiful energy with people who don't have access to tranquillity on a daily basis. Join this weekend full of self-love, self-nurturing and immersing in nature.

Romy Aardse

With an academic background in neurobiology and experience from years of studying and teaching yoga in India, Sri Lanka and Portugal, Romy has created her own style as a yoga teacher. At Herdade da Matinha it offers an in-depth practice and an intense journey into the body and mind. With restorative Yin or energizing Vinyasa, movement is created in our bodies, making space for healing and positive energy. Her classes combine pranayama (breathing), meditation, Yin (feminine) and Yang (masculine) to integrate the physical with our energetic bodies.

MESA

MESA is the restaurant at Herdade da Matinha. Here the ritual was not lost.
We reclaimed the days when the simplest things mattered.
We sat at the table for hours telling stories, sharing
delicious food and toasting with good wines the night away.
We dined by candlelight and the thousands of stars in the sky. IT IS
much more than a dinner, it is a feeling of belonging and sharing.
Even if there is little in common between them all, they are
family with lots of love and happiness.
A place of continuous sharing where the communion of the meal was recovered.
