Who are the instructors?
Ieva Luna - the founder and host of Moonlight Yoga Retreats, a passionate climber and movement enthusiast. Ieva received her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate in India and was deepening her yoga practice in Indonesia and China for several years. Additionally, Ieva has completed a Yin Yoga + Acupressure teacher training course, 'Yoga as a therapy for Back Problems', Contemporary Yoga Flow training with A. Hocke and A. Husler as well as various workshops with Jenni Rawlings from Shoulder and Hip Applied Anatomy to Nervous System and Pain Science. Ieva recently has completed a 300 hour yoga teacher training with Jules Mitchell in Biomechanics, Pain science and nervous system. Ieva is also a certified CBT practitioner as well as had attended various courses on Non Violent Communication.
Ieva currently is taking part in a prenatal yoga teacher training.
Her intention is to create a welcoming, supportive and nourishing space during the retreat where everybody could feel comfortable and at ease. A home away from home.
Lizzie - my yoga journey began with a single powerful experience in 2012, propelling a deep exploration of how I could reach a meaningful life including self-inquiry and acceptance through the tools of a yoga practice. Over the past seven years, I have had the privilege of connecting with people from around the world, sharing practices rooted in my personal journey and deepened by several professional trainings. As a 500-hour accredited yoga teacher, I believe that the simplest practices, accessible to anyone, are often the most useful.
I teach Ashtanga Vinyasa, Meditation, Yin, Rocket, and now Yoga Therapy, using movement and breath as tools for both mental and physical relief. With a background in contemporary dance and an unequivocal respect for the body, my approach is varied and experiential, guiding you to explore where a posture lands in the body, what it speaks in the mind, and how the breath bridges the two.
Expect a varied approach stylistically, between dynamic movement and soft spacious pauses, there is always freedom to shape each practice to your own needs. I teach with whatever is inspiring me, with kindness and intention, encouraging you to embrace the subtleties of thoughts and sensations; things the mind is capable of receiving, but rarely has room to explore.
During the retreat, you will enjoy 4 x 90 minute practices with Lizzie.
Surfing activity with local guides
Surfing in Ericeira, a world-renowned surfing destination with its stunning coastline, is an absolute must!
During the retreat, we will enjoy one 2-hour surfing activity with local guides from Semente Surf School. Their experienced team consists of surfing lovers who are fully qualified by FPS, and certified in Water Safety, CPR, and First Aid.
All surfing equipment and transport to the beach and back to our retreat space will be provided.
Explore the outer landscapes while being in the water on a surfboard: the rhythmic flow of the waves, rugged coastal cliffs, and the vastness of the sky and horizon.
Sound journey meditation concert
This will be a very special one! Journey through inner landscapes through sound, including didgeridoo, flutes and other instruments.
More details coming soon.
