Testimonials
I'm waiting for inspiration, to find the right
words to express what I experienced
during the last week but I can't find them. The words that come
to mind are all about the same: pure, power, positive, love, peace,
innerpeace, strength, beautiful (you, beautiful you!) warmth, sincere,
grace, delicious food, spiritual, and everything multiplied by
much...
Thanks for your hospitality, your inspiring lessons, your unending
patience during the photo shoots.
It's an honour to have met you. Give my love to Okka and safe some
for yourself.

“ An amazing place to escape to, in
the middle of our cold English winter. I arrived a Yoga novice
and leave more supple than I have been for 30 years and bitten
by the Yoga bug. The Yoga and meditation programme has really
helped me reconnect with my body and the detox programme included
the most delicious food as well as great education in nutritional
and ayurvedic principles. We have explored the local area with
its lovely nature, sensational beaches and superb mountain bike
and walking trails. Diana is a superb teacher at all levels.
She and her team are wonderful hosts and have created a really
memorable and enjoyable experience”

"If you need some time off to relax and reconcile with your
body, then this retreat is for you! I had such a good time in a
lovely setting, eating gorgeous food and getting back in shape
in a spectacular way. At the end of the week I felt thinner, more
relaxed and healthier than ever. It's the perfect way to start
losing weight and feeling good about yourself again, mentally and
physically, so do not hesitate!"

“We had peace in our heads and hearts. I would like to say
that the course is very dependent on you Diana as a person. Your
smile, always available, a lot of knowledge, long yoga practise.
All this together give the course the high standard I mean it has.
Good luck! Love Terje”

“I had a fab time
with Algarveyoga. I enjoyed Diana’s style of teaching a
lot and her calm confidence made the week feel natural for me
as a beginner. As well as the yoga, felt overall the holiday
lived up to my expectations. It was a warm experience, from the
accomodation, to the food, to the surfing.
The food was very tasty and even healthy, so can't complain and
I wasn't just being polite having second or sometimes third helpings.
Monte Velho was stunning. What more to say? I loved it all, thank
you’’

“When I searched the Internet for a retreat
in Europe, I actually hoped to find one that caters to my very own
needs. Not having been to a retreat before, I did not know what to
expect. Still a beginner in yoga and with hardly any praticeable
knowledge of ayurveda or its principles, I looked for a retreat that
would offer a "safe" haven. One that would allow me to
be me; one that would allow me to rediscover my heart, discover new
things, meet new people, in short to be inspired and reåjuvenated.
The retreat of Diana Jost gave me just that. I left the beautiful
Algarve retreat feeling more in touch with myself and others and
more aware of the importance of taking time and care of one's self.
Thank you Diana for your ability to make an entire group of people
feel special and revived!”
Warmest regards

“Thanks to the Algarve Yoga team for looking after me so well
on the Yoga & Detox retreat. My yoga progressed exponentially
during the week; thanks mostly to Diana's expert tuition, patience
and individual attention improving my poses. The excellent quality
food far outweighed my expectations for a detox. The accommodation
at Monte Velho was first class and its location spectacular. Looking
forward to going back and would highly recommend to anyone.”

“Diana’s yoga lessons were just fantastic. Her voice
is very nice and relaxing to listen to, clear explanations and great
personal corrections. She was a real inspiration for me to carry
on with the yoga practise. Surfing was great fun, quiet beaches and
the instructors did a great job. The food was just really really
good and healthy –can’t find any other words for this.
Accommodation- absolutely my place, the style, the atmosphere, the
people, just beautiful.
It was a really smooth week and I will be back for sure.
Algarveyoga, keep on going like this.”

“In these 5 days personal coaching I learned as much as I
learned at school in 5 years. You are a very inspiring person who
is really living what she’s teaching”

"It was a place where I could stop for
a moment from my daily life, letting everything calm down. Meditation,
yoga, healthy food and being surrounded by great co-retreatholidayers
in the beautiful sunny setting of the Algarve made this a truly
wonderful experience. I would definitely love to come again."

“For a few years I've been searching
for a way to integrate some health into my daily busy life as a
veterinarian. I took some yoga classes in Holland and felt that
this might be the right pad, as I felt really peaceful and energetic
after the class and the day after. Nevertheless I felt these classes
once a week were not enough to stick to the healthy feeling, as
my work drained my energy out of me. I didn't have a clue (and
sometimes the discipline) how to do yoga at home for myself during
the rest of the week. Furthermore my cooking was uninspired and
therefore not the most healthy one. My overall health was getting
worse.
During the yoga/ayurvedic retreat Diana showed us how to easily incorporate
yoga exercises and healthy food into daily routine. I had a lot of
fun on a beautiful location and went home feeling healthier, happier
and energetic. Thank you!!!”
Love, Helene from Holland (The Netherlands)

“The algarve yoga detox retreat truly
exceeded my expectations! Everything from the setting to the people
(not to mention the very yummy food!) was conducive to a successful
detox, and more than that, even made it easy! The location was
stunning, the yoga was inspiring and regenerating, and it was great
to have the team's great expertise to draw on. I feel very cleansed,
full of energy and my skin is glowing to prove it! I also feel
I have taken away some knowledge which will enable me to incorporate
some of the features from the retreat into my daily lifestyle...
so here's to ongoing health!”
Lots of love, Francesca Mastrojanni

“Estou muito feliz com o resultado deste detoxing. Sinto-me
com mais energia, mais feliz, com mais força, autoconfiança
e claro muito mais limpa.
As aulas da Diana são espectaculares, trabalhamos a respiração
o que é muito importante para mim pois como fumadora e limpeza
dentro dos meus pulmoés ao fazer ioga. No corpo também
sinto mais forte, mais força nas pernas e braços, mas
o mais importante foi me ter corricido a postura.
Penso que não tenho mais a dizer a não ser que melhor
era impossivel.
Obricado Diana por tudo, conscientemente ou inconscientemente ajudaste-me
muito durante esta semana. Obrigado Alexia é uma das melhores
cozinheiras que conheci.”

‘’very good news: a whole month
after this wonderful week in Portugal, I am still on the path you
made me re-discover! I am practising meditation daily - and that
is the real bliss -, my eating and drinking habits have so much
improved that I now get good energy from the food I take in, and
I do exercises regularly, although I have not found a Yoga course
nor a Yoga teacher in Luxembourg, as yet.
Thank you, Diana!”

“A wonderful experience at a beautiful location with great
company! Amazing how good the yoga was for my body, mind and heart… and
so nice to see a detox can go together with such delicious food!
I was warmed by the love, care and dedication of the Algarveyoga
crew, thanks so much! I left feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated.”
