Connect with nature and optimize your well-being

For many centuries this place was considered a sacred place and a ritual site (Sagres means "Sacred"). It is located in the most SW point of Europe and was a place of rituals and worship by the Romans and civilizations that inhabited the area before that. Monolites and ritualistic remains are found in the area, it has a high level of quarts and other minerals in the ground, and is surrounded by an impressive coastline with many hidden beaches and caves. 

Besides being a perfect area for transformational and spiritual practices, the area is great for many activities such as hiking, surfing, rock-climbing, dolphin watching, cycling, and many more activities. Almost like an island, the southwest coast of the Algarve in Portugal Europe, is a narrow peninsula surrounded by the Ocean from west to south.

This is a mind-training, yoga, breathwork retreat in Portugal for anyone who is looking to learn, improve or change their lives, regardless of age or skill level. It is however essential to do Michaēl Bijker's online "7-day essentials course" first. (You will receive free access to this course upon booking your retreat.) In this course you will learn the basic brethwork and meditation techniques which will help you to get the most out of your retreat experience. If you have any doubts about joining this retreat, please contact us through info@yogalap.com and we will help you from there. 



Our Philosophy

Michaēl Bijker, the founder of the Life Awareness Project, and main teacher on this retreat says: 

“Life is a great ocean of potentials. We are sailing on this ocean and we are the captain of our own ship. In order to set our destination and to sail where we want to sail, we have to maintain our vessel in good condition, we need to know the workings of our ship, the workings of the tides, the currents and the weather. So too must we know the workings of our mind in order to create and to live fully.
If we want to learn we have to pay attention. Attention, awareness or consciousness is something that we tend to lack during most of our lives. if we want to feel the connection with the Moment, the NOW, or God, the Creator or what ever way one looks at it, or whatever one wants to call it we have to become sensitive and conscious. We are a part of universal creation just as creation is a part of us. When we awaken we can flow and create harmoniously with the universal creative force.
We are conscious, sensitive and creative beings that have the power and the right to decide our state of mind. We experience this life with both our body and mind.  If they are healthy and 'correctly tuned', a harmonious life unfolds in and around us. If we are unaware of the workings of them and live with  unconsciously, we will be victims of all the negative states our thoughts and actions produce in our daily life. We can train our mind and body to become more aware and more conscious about our lives and the reality it produces. During this retreat in Portugal you will develop a more content, creative and peaceful state of mind for a more enjoyable and connected life.”

"There was simply something for everyone. We had a 90-minute session every morning and evening that consisted of a mixture of yoga, breathwork, QiGong and meditations. In between we had a mix of free time, hiking, surfing, fine vegetarian food and lots of time to chat with our group colleagues.
The retreat brought me so much.
Thanks to Michaël and the entire yogalap team"
