Mandala Sagres

Sauna Flow is a three-hour mini retreat at Mandala Sagres on Saturday 14 November, from 11:00 to 14:00. Start with a dynamic vinyasa yoga class led by Chia, move into the sauna and cold plunge, then finish with a 45-minute yin practice of stillness and surrender. It’s a chance to slow down in the Algarve and come back to yourself. Inspired by Scorpio season.

What happens during Sauna Flow

1. Dynamic vinyasa yoga with Chia

The session opens with a dynamic vinyasa flow that wakes up the body, builds heat and opens the chest through a heart-opening sequence.

2. Sauna and cold plunge

Let the steam wash over you in the sauna, then cool down in the cold plunge. Between rounds, rest in the garden and sip fresh herbal tea.

3. Deep yin and surrender

Once you’ve showered and changed into comfortable clothes, return to the mat for 45 minutes of deep yin. This slow practice explores the fears, patterns and walls we often avoid, without judgment.

How we play

Each round has four chances to win:

  1. Vertical line — first to complete it wins a small prize, and that line is closed for the round.
  2. Four corners — same deal, first one takes it.
  3. Horizontal line — same again.
  4. Full card — the big one. Whoever fills the whole card takes the pot (or a very good prize).

€1 per card, per round. Buy as many cards as you can handle — and yes, you can play them all at once. Confidence is free; the cards are not.

Free Talk: How Yoga Nidra affects the Brain

Join neuroscientist Carola Chiarpenello for a free talk on how Yoga Nidra affects the brain, nervous system, and stress—backed by groundbreaking research from King's College London.

THU 20 AUGFREE
Walk-in — no booking needed
Mandala Sagres

What actually happens in the brain and body during yoga nidra?

Can lying still, doing “nothing,” change stress, inflammation and mental health?

Join us for a free one-hour talk with neuroscientist and yoga therapist Carola Chiarpenello, sharing findings from her PhD research at King’s College London — the first randomised controlled trial investigating the psychoneuroimmunology of yoga nidra in people living with chronic stress and inflammation.

Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, immunology, endocrinology and contemplative practice, Carola will explore how yoga nidra may influence the nervous system, brain activity, stress physiology and wellbeing — what the study found, where the evidence is strong, where questions remain, and what it all means for practitioners, teachers, and anyone curious about mind–body science.

No background in science or yoga needed. Just curiosity.

🌀 Thursday 20.08, 16–17h 📍 Mandala Sagres ✨ Free · all are welcome

Save this, bring a friend, and come rest your nervous system with us.
