Peaceful and energetic, creating a meditative atmosphere in the Ashtanga Yoga Mysore Room. Join us for one workshop week with Petri at the Dawn Collective Shala in the Costa Vicentina Natural Park, one of Europe´s most stunning & untouched coastal regions. Students of all levels are invited to explore and enjoy new depths in their practice under the guidance of these two incredible teachers.
 

Petri focuses on integrating healing and therapy with Ashtanga Yoga, meeting each student's individual needs and guiding their progress. His hands-on adjustments are gentle, effective, therapeutic and, according to some, magical - they originate from his own practice & teaching as well as from his past work as a traditional finnish folk healer and naturopath.

For all details, schedule and bookings please contact Petri and Wambui on their website.

You can choose from a great variety of accommodation (different budgets and needs) within a 5 min walk to a 10 min. drive from the Dawn Collective Shala / the beach. As this is a popular destination we recommend to seek accommodation as early as possible. Please find further info and some recommendations here.

The yoga studio (Google Maps) is located between the picturesque Arrifana Beach (2 km) and the little village Aljezur (7 km), where you will find everything you need like supermarkets, cafés & restaurants, bakery, organic shops and a charming local farmers market on saturdays.

The stunning and unspoiled beaches of Arrifana, Monte Clerigo and Amoreira allow for endless summer days & unreal sunsets. All beaches are easy to access and offer great surf conditions. The jungle-ish hinterland with magic forests of pine, eucalyptus and cork can be explored with nature walks, mountain bike or donkey/horse rides.

The Dawn Collective Yoga Studio has a wooden floor and catches the first rays of sun in the morning. Yoga mats, blankets and blocks are available as well as a big lawn to hang out after class - filtered water and fresh herbal tea are always available. Massage therapy and various holistic treatments can also be booked at the Dawn Collective Shala.

The closest international airports are Faro (1 hour 15 Min) and Lisbon (3 hours) - both are connected to Aljezur with excellent freeways. Most comfortable to get around & discover the area is a rental car - we recommend to book a rental from luzcar (operating from Faro).

Public transport: Rede-Expressos Bus drives daily from Lisbon straight down to Aljezur and on week days you can also get from Faro via Lagos to Aljezur - please find all bus- and train connections in the Algarve on this website. 

Mountainbikes, E-Bikes and Scooters can be rented on a daily or weekly basis in Aljezur & Vale da Telha.

For all questions, registration & payment please get in touch with Petri and Wambui on their website.
