Reconnection in one of Sintra’s most beautiful settings
In the heart of spring, on April 26, during the celebration of the European Day of Historic Gardens, treat yourself to a rare moment: step away from the pace of everyday life and reconnect with what truly matters, in one of Sintra’s most breathtaking settings. Come and experience the gentle, sweet, yet refreshing fragrance of the historic gardens of the Queluz National Palace.
Surrounded by nature, silence, and beauty, embark on a unique well-being experience that begins with an open-air yoga session led by Sara Garcia, inviting balance, lightness, and presence. The experience continues with a circle of mantras, deepening the sense of introspection and shared connection that defines this celebration.
About the instructor
Sara’s journey brings together creativity, tradition, and mindfulness. A former member of a youth group that achieved platinum record status and a graduate in Communication Design, her artistic talent found its fullest expression in Yoga. This path brought together her intellectual, philosophical, artistic, and physical passions, leading her to train in the DeRose Method and to open her own school in Cascais, specializing in Yoga retreats. Sara is the founder and owner of the Cascais Meditation Club, a 15-year-old community, and leads retreats around the world focused on mantras, meditation, and movement, inspiring others to live with joy and authenticity.
Her early musical career included work on film and television soundtracks. However, it was through mantra that she discovered her true calling. With 24 years of teaching experience and the album FLOW, produced by Oscar winner Armando Teixeira, her work blends ancient teachings with immersive mantra concerts, guiding participants toward authentic self-discovery and alignment with the infinite.
