Instrutor de yoga

Experiência calma e revitalizante! Ter um espaço unicamente dedicado à prática de yoga torna a experiência muito mais imersiva e possibilita uma muito maior concentração nos exercícios!

This remote valley in Portugal is all I could want for a yoga retreat in beautiful nature. The owners have established a well run organisation by hiring in staff to provide classes, meals and activities such as massages, cooking classes and meditation walks. Tom, our yoga teacher coped well with a wide age range (23-72)of participants urging us to be mindful of what our bodies were telling us and what we were capable of doing. There were two yoga sessions per day which by the time we climbed the steep path to the yoga room and dining room we were already well exercised. My gut reacted in a positive way to the change to a largely vegan diet. Themeditation walks led by Andrew reminded us of our strong connection to nature and how by walking in the countryside we could raise our awareness of our bodies and the possibilities of using our senses to enjoy more of what life offers.

Já tinha experimentado aulas de yoga em contexto de ginásio e num estúdio mas a minha perspetiva mudou desde que experienciei as viagens sonoras, uma delas feita com o João. Desde então tive o privilégio de fazer algumas das suas aulas e hoje começo a ter uma opinião muito mais clara do que é o yoga, dos seus benefícios e mesmo em relação à prática que me é hoje mais natural e consciente. O João é um professor fora da caixa"

My time at Vale de Moses in early November was magical, from the moment Andy picked us up from the train station with a friendly smile and lots of stories, to admiring the sunrise over the mountains when I sadly said goodbye a week later. Von and Andy are truly amazing people, and I am so grateful for their warmth, kindness, and generosity in sharing their beautiful retreat space and offering an opportunity for healing and restoration. I was completely blown away by the delicious and nourishing food – wish I could have it every day! Other highlights were the meditative walk that Andy led and Von’s treatments. Von is an amazing healer, and she generously spent two hours with me, listening to my needs, affirming my concerns, and offering me a lovely Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and massage session. I loved doing yoga in the beautiful shala, I appreciated the relaxed way that Von led yoga classes – poses were more suggestions than instructions to follow, she encouraged us to do whatever our bodies were craving in the moment. If you’re new to yoga or more experienced, you’ll find your home here. Thank you Von, Andy, and all of the staff at Vale de Moses for a truly incredible experience. I can’t wait to return!

Fiquei tão feliz por descobrir este lugar e Mariana. Um privilégio tão grande de praticar yoga com uma vista maravilhosa sobre Viana !

Tive o prazer de experimentar o Yoga Nidra, que recomendo vivamente, foi uma viagem incrível para repetir!A aula de Yoga com o João foi uma surpresa mesmo boa. São aulas muito gratificantes, cheias de ensinamentos milenares de forma tão clara, leve e simples.

I knew it was going to be a beautiful place but couldn’t be prepared for the honest and caring atmosphere I received. Also, every detail was accounted for: from the over the top food, to the types of pillows to sleep at night. The yoga classes were the best I could hope for and the seclusion was what you needed but with a nice social vibe from the group of people that I shared the retreat with. Also we had loads of options to spend the day in between classes and meals. All topped with Andrew’s and his crew charm and warmth.

Conheço o Micael e tive o prazer de partilhar com ele algumas experiências que me estimularam de forma muito positiva a desenvolver uma melhoria intencional no meu movimento. Recomendo o seu trabalho.

Vale de Moses Retreat Center came highly recommended by a friend. I could not have been happier with my decision to attend a yoga retreat there. It was more than anything I could have imagined, the food, the company, the hosts and all their extended family. I came away with more knowledge and kindness than I have seen in a very long time. I'm also physically stronger, breathing better and more at peace. It was a wonderland of joy, laughter, movement and good food.Thank you Vonetta & Andrew. You all know how to throw a good party and it is ALL food for the soul. Thank you again.

Estas aulas são as melhores nunca pensei praticar yoga mas depois duma aula gratuita com o Micael a minha ideia mudou por completo.com a prática de yoga consegui deixar de fumar e sinto-me uma pessoa mais tranquila e menos stressada.tudo isto graças ao grande professor e amigo Micael que me demonstrou com os seus conhecimentos como o yoga pode mudar a nossa vida.agora nesta fase negra que estamos vivendo creio que a prática de yoga vai contribuir para que possamos relaxar e desanuviar de toda esta situação.muito obrigado Micael segue com o teu excelente trabalho
