The Algarve is a must-see destination in Portugal, beloved by nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts from around the world. Along its mesmerising Atlantic coastline, the region offers stunning beaches, cliff-top trails, and hidden corners waiting to be explored.

Many local businesses provide seasonal outdoor activities, making the most of a visitor’s stay. At Inhalo Yoga, we combine movement in nature with yoga, offering experiences designed to revitalise the body, calm the mind, and appreciate surroundings. One of our signature experiences is Stretching Horizons – a hiking adventure paired with yoga, created out of love for both activities by local teacher Paulo.

Sessions take place along four distinct parts of the famous Fisherman’s Trail. Each route is carefully selected, offering a unique landscape and varying difficulty, suitable for beginners and experienced hikers alike. At Inhalo Yoga, what matters most is presence over pace. Walks are moderate and mindful, focusing on breath, movement, and the present moment. Along the way, we pause at cliff-tops to take in the Atlantic’s vastness, explore old ruins that whisper of maritime history, and occasionally spot dolphins or other wildlife along the coast.

Depending on the day and route, sessions last between 2 and 4 hours – a perfect balance of time, energy, and immersion. The experience concludes with a beginner-friendly yoga session on the beach, helping participants release tension, relax, and fully enjoy their surroundings. Stretching Horizons is ideal for anyone wanting to make the most of their holiday in the Algarve, combining exploration, movement, and mindful presence.

An amazing experience! A great, easy hike through the sunset, some helpful tips and interesting facts from the local tour guide, and then a yoga class on an incredibly beautiful beach. They really listened to what we wanted.

Paulo is a wonderful and warm guide and patient and grounding yoga instructor. It was a lovely combination to have the gentle hike and sunset yoga together at the end of the day and so relaxing to have the session on the beach. I highly recommend! If I return I will definitely be booking again.
