Join The Sacred Fig in Portugal for our <a href="https://www.thesacredfig.com/teacher_trainings/portugal">200hr Teacher Training, May 1-24, 202</a>2, or our<a href="https://www.thesacredfig.com/retreats/portugal/"> August 6-13, 2022 retreat.&nbsp;</a>STAYCoziness and a sneaky garden right in the middle of the city, you’ll be glad to retreat back to <a href="http://www.valverdehotel.com/en/">Valverde Hotel</a> (pictured below) after your long walks in the city. From the 19th Century facade to the stylish interiors showcasing the best of Portuguese design with a nod to Moorish heritage, this hotel is draped in luxury.If The Valverde is fully booked (or out of budget!), we also love <a href="http://www.casadobarao.com/">Casa do Barão</a>, <a href="https://www.silentliving.pt/houses/santa-clara-1728/">Santa Clara 1728</a>, The Lisboans, and <a href="https://www.thevintagelisbon.com/">The Vintage</a>. If you're booking an AirBnb, our fave areas to stay are Santos, Principe Real, and Praca das Flores.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/Valverde_Hotel_613bf91c1b.jpg"></figure>START YOUR DAY DELICIOUSLY.Both of these breakfast spots are in São Bento, one of our favorite parts of the city, so take time after your eggs and coffee to explore.As their name suggests, <a href="https://dearbreakfast.com">Dear Breakfast</a>’s menu features tasty breakfast staples, such as boiled eggs with “sexy sticks” or eggs benedict, as well as some more energy-boosting options, like the quinoa bowl, to kickstart your day. Wash it all down with a cup of their excellent coffee, a fresh juice, or a cocktail…depending on how late you wake-up! And while you’re there, take some time to get inspired by the interiors, which are top-notch.If you fancy an Australian-inspired breakfast, <a href="https://themill.pt/en/">The Mill</a> is the place for you. They serve specialty coffee and the best Portuguese produce with a fresh, Australian twist. From vegemite on toasted rustic bread to grilled chouriço with roasted pepper and cheese from the Azores, they mix and match the two cultures perfectly. Plus, their relaxed setting will ease you into the day gently.<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/the-fig/image/upload/v1644490434/The_Mill_c85a2b5703.jpg"></figure>In the Santos area, we have two new breakfast favorites: Heim Cafe and La Boulangerie.&nbsp;&nbsp;LOOK SHARP.If you’re in Chiado, take a moment to treat yourself to a shave. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Barbearia.Campos/">Barbearia Campos</a>, founded in 1886, isn’t just any barbershop; it’s an institution in Lisbon. The place itself is a wonder with the chic white marble washbasins and the old barber chairs. The service is perfect. Ask for Fabio.<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/the-fig/image/upload/v1644490458/Lisbon_Portugal_Barber_b868af57da.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;TAKE A WELL DESERVED BREAK.No trip to Lisbon would be complete without a Pastel de Nata, the local egg pastry, and the best are from <a href="http://manteigarialisboa.com">Manteigaria</a>. Time your visit perfectly to get them straight out the oven. Eat immediately, with a good sprinkle of cinnamon on top. And if you time it wrong, you’ll just have to keep coming back for more!And if it’s your feet that need a break, one of the several <a href="http://copenhagencoffeelab.com/">Copenhagen Coffee Lab</a> around the city will provide the perfect place for that. Their coffee is second to none, but it’s their cardamom baked sweets that will get you hooked (they’re originally from Denmark, after all).LUNCH WITH A VIEW.<a href="https://www.facebook.com/CafehTehran/">Cafe Tehran</a>, on the Praça das Flores, a super cute little square, is an intimate and lively Persian restaurant that’s relatively new to the area. The small and regularly changing menu features fragrant dishes that are expertly prepared by the owner, Pooneh. Expect to see lots of vegetables, stews, nuts, spices, and herbs – the perfect food to fuel your urban exploration.<a href="https://www.visitportugal.com/en/NR/exeres/3D6C8025-C9CB-404F-9C6A-54F02E4B455D">Largo do Carmo</a> is a gorgeous square at the feet of the dramatic Carmo Convent. This uber-local and lively square, lined with historic buildings, has several cafes that are perfect for lunch. Order a bottle of Vino Verde, clear your afternoon and watch the world go by.Our new fav for a healthy + delicous lunch is <a href="https://www.comobalisboa.com/home">Comoba.</a> (pictured below) It’s got Brooklyn vibes, and their matcha is top notch.<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/the-fig/image/upload/v1644490472/Comoba_7bf7afd1de.jpg"></figure>If you’re in Lisbon in the summer, follow your long lunch at Largo do Carmo with a summer concert in the Carmo Convent.&nbsp;&nbsp;TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF LISBON HOME.Don’t leave Lisbon without picking up some local Portuguese products at <a href="https://www.avidaportuguesa.com/">A Vida Portuguesa</a>. Even if your suitcase is full, you’ll still want to pay them a visit as the shops themselves are such little marvels. But, really, you will certainly find something to bring home with you — ceramics for your kitchen, a perfume or a little notebook with cute illustrations. Good luck picking only one item, we struggle every time!<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/the-fig/image/upload/v1644490571/a_vida_portuguesa_64ccdb6f53.jpg"></figure>Our favorite Portuguese menswear label is <a href="https://lapaz.pt/">La Paz</a>. They have a cute shop hidden on a side street - worth visiting!&nbsp;FINISH YOUR DAY LIKE THE LOCALS.Finish your day with the slow melancholy of Fado. The city offers live Fado at every corner, but you want to go to <a href="https://www.tascadochico.com/">Tasca do Chico</a> for some of the best casual Fado from the city in a local and casual bar. No touristy dinner+concert here, just you, the music and a good glass of wine. There’s standing room only, so get there for 8.30 pm and wait in line outside — the wait’s worth the authenticity of the experience.For din, our fav little spot is <a href="https://senhoruva.com/">Senhor Uva</a>.&nbsp; It’s a small place, with an incredible vegetarian menu and natural wines.&nbsp; Another fave is Da Noi, in the Lapa area. Make a reservation for either!by <a href="https://www.maduretreats.com/oumnia-el-khazzani-copywriter">Oum El Khazzani</a>.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="http://localhost:1337/uploads/anton_brandt_6f0eabffbf.jpg" alt=""></figure>&nbsp;

Lisbon City Guide

Who hasn’t heard of Bali? If not through friends, you’ve certainly seen gorgeous pics on Instagram. It can be hard to navigate the overwhelm of guides, photos, reviews, so we’ve compiled our favorite places where the Fig community loves to hang, eat, or practice together.Join The Sacred Fig in Bali for our annual <a href="https://www.thesacredfig.com/teacher_trainings/bali/">200hr Teacher Training, Feb 1-24, 2022.</a><figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/the-fig/image/upload/v1644490274/Bali_Ubud_2_4ea473f886.jpg"></figure><h3>Ubud.</h3>If you’ve planned on visiting Ubud, the spiritual and cultural heart of Bali, here are a few things you shouldn’t miss.&nbsp;As far as yoga is concerned, Ubud will go beyond your expectations, for sure.<h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>Sunday Yoga Church at Radiantly Alive.&nbsp;</h3>Radiantly Alive is an institution in Bali when it comes to yoga. Every year, Radiantly Alive welcomes yoga star Meghan Currie for a very special class — Sunday Yoga Church. This 2-hour class has it all: it’s a yoga class, it’s a workshop, and it’s a fun way to start your Sunday. It fills quickly, so preferably, book a ticket on Radiantly Alive’s website.<h3>Ecstatic Dance at The Yoga Barn.&nbsp;</h3>You might have heard of ecstatic dance. If not, <a href="https://medium.com/the-ascent/dancing-through-the-elements-a-rational-guide-to-a-hippie-experience-97c5e763eff0">here’s an article I wrote about it</a>. Ubud hosts one of the most amazing ecstatic dances in the world, and our fave one is the dance at Yoga Barn. There’s one on Friday evening and another on Sunday morning. Whichever you choose, you’re in for a unique experience! A little tip: wear socks to slide across that dancefloor — and avoid blisters from the crazy dancing!On your way, stop at the little shop at the corner between Jalan Sandat and Jalan Raya Ubud and order a Jamu, an all-natural Indonesian health tonic that will give you the perfect boost before the dance! Ask for explanations and recommendations, the staff at Jamu Sehati is always happy to help.All of this exercise will definitely have worked your appetite. Take your scooter and head to the outskirts of the city for our fave restaurant in town, Sage (pictured here). This cute + minimal restaurant is home to amazing vegan cuisine. Ask for the jackfruit tacos and grab one of the home-made cookie bags to go, you won’t regret it!<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/the-fig/image/upload/v1644490234/Sage_Bali_ca6ae1170b.jpg"></figure>In a carnivore mood? Naughty Nauri’s Ribs (Jalan Raya Sanginggan) will for sure satisfy your craving! Order ribs and a dirty martini, nothing else.You can’t go to Bali and not splurge into the massage culture. When you’re in Ubud, make sure you pay a visit (or two, or more!) to Nur Salon, on Jalan Hanoman. Despite its central location, this spa is a haven of serenity. You’ll find here the best masseurs in town, and the rooms are open-air, so you can slowly drift away lulled by the sounds of geckos and birds chirping. Try to avoid dusk as it’s also the mosquitoes’ dinner time!<h3>Wake up early and visit Gungun Kawi Sebatu Temple.</h3>Holy water temples are part of the Balinese culture and traditions. People go there for purification and blessings. For visitors, this is a beautiful way to peek into the local spiritual customs. The temple is about 20 minutes away from the city center, but easy to reach either by car or on your own scooter (Google Maps works well). Tirta Empul Tampak Siring is a more well known water temple in the area, but it is now overwhelmed with tourbuses and tourists. This one is a bit more under the radar ~ please respect the local culture. You can find a priest at the entrance who will walk you through the ritual. Make sure you take a change of clothes with you as you’ll be immersed in water, and don’t visit the temple if you are on your period.And if waking-up early is no big deal for you, book another morning for a walk at Camphuan Ridge (pictured here). This walk will take you about an hour with stops to take pics and enjoy the serene scenery. Go around 6am to enjoy the sunrise, the fresh air, and have the walk (almost) all to yourself!<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/the-fig/image/upload/v1644490260/Bali_Hike_Ubud_eb5c8f7f1b.jpg"></figure><h3> Uluwatu, Seminyak + Canggu.</h3>Once you’ve had enough jungle, book a driver and head south to Uluwatu, along the coast. Uluwatu is home to some of the best waves, a true surfer paradise. If you’re not into surfing, there’s still plenty to do. Stay at <a href="https://mu-bali.com/">Mu Boutique Resort</a>. If they’re full, stay (or at least eat) at <a href="https://uluwatusurfvillas.com/">Uluwatu Surf Villas</a>.Enjoy the beach during the day, and around 5ish, make your way to Single Fin, a bar by the beach, with OK beer but one of the most fabulous sunset in the world. Plus, you get to watch cute surfers ride some insane waves.Still, have some time on the island and craving some more beach vibes? Canggu &amp; Seminyak will give you exactly that. The neighboring towns offer a wide range of bars, clubs, hip hotels, beach clubs and, of course, restaurants. While in Canggu, make sure to have lunch at The Shady Shack, a super cute house turned into a vegan restaurant with a peaceful and fresh garden (pictured here). It’s hard to pick only one dish from their menu, trust us! You can always go for the Pillow Talk gnocchis or the Gyro Jack Burger. And, while you’re paying, try to resist the cakes — you won’t. 😉<figure class="image image-style-align-left image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/the-fig/image/upload/v1633276326/sergey_chuprin_8_AVC_Qbtbr9_Y_unsplash_6ba43f9f95.jpg"></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://www.thesacredfig.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Shady-Shack-300x225.jpg" alt="" srcset="https://www.thesacredfig.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Shady-Shack-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.thesacredfig.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Shady-Shack-893x670.jpg 893w, https://www.thesacredfig.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Shady-Shack-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.thesacredfig.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Shady-Shack.jpg 1280w" sizes="100vw" width="300"></figure>Finish your stay on the island with a four hands massage (obviously!) at Jari Menari in Seminyak. No questions asked, just go, you’ll thank us later for it.&nbsp;And if you’re scheduled on an early flight, spend your last few hours on the island dancing at the super colorful Hotel Mexicola, a bar in Seminyak. It’s our happy place!by <a href="https://www.maduretreats.com/oumnia-el-khazzani-copywriter">Oumnia El Khazzani</a>.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="http://localhost:1337/uploads/yoga_teacher_training_bali200hour_381dff8ac2.jpg" alt=""></figure>

The Sacred Fig 50 hour Trainings are intensive, modular programs designed to elevate + inform the next generation of leaders in the wellness space.&nbsp; Our 50 hour programming is divided into shorter modules, each with a unique focus + theme. Each module has a unique focus, led by world-renowned experts in their respective fields.The focus of this 50 hour module is Meridian Yoga Therapy. For this training we're thrilled to welcome Rose Erin Vaughan, founder of The Science of Self. This AADP (American Association of Drugless Practitioners) accredited course is a deep &amp; practical immersion into the human energetic &amp; physical anatomy leading to development of powerful skills and techniques for genuinely helping others.What is Meridian Yoga Therapy (MYT)? In modern times, much of our physical pain comes from problems in the mind and emotions. The ancient philosophies like Yoga and Chinese medicine are sophisticated systems that offer maps of the body, mind and soul, a different kind of anatomy that acknowledges the physical as well as the emotional. Even in modern culture, the heart is known not only as an organ that pumps the blood, but also as the source of love and compassion, connection to divine and other. The techniques of these two systems were designed as both physical medicine and tools for spiritual development. MYT is a modern synthesis of these two ancient systems. MYT techniques work in the same way that Yoga asana works - relying on the connection between the physical, emotional and spiritual. Like Yoga asana, MYT uses physical methods to Ease the flow of energy through the subtle channels and release muscle tension, joint pain, headaches, digestive issues, anxiety, depression, etc. Meridian Yoga Therapy is a healing modality that can be applied to self or others. This system is based on the 8-limbed Yogic principles and informed by the traditional Chinese Medicine meridian system of points and pathways. MYT techniques can be used within Yoga classes. It is our belief that in serving others, we can heal ourselves also. Graduates qualify for membership in American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP). This program is not registered with the The Yoga Alliance.The MYT certification allows graduates to use the title Certified MYT Practitioner. These techniques can be used to inform the Yoga Practice for yourself and for your students. The MYT certification program does not provide graduates with a legal license to practice massage, bodywork, or acupressure.<a href="https://youtu.be/DjK2lZqQYLs">Watch this video</a> from a past Meridian Yoga Therapy Training to learn more!

Anton's annual retreat at the one &amp; only Cocoon Portugal.&nbsp;For many of us, our day-to-day reality is a demanding job and endless social obligations.&nbsp; Technologies that were designed to simplify our lives have somehow made things more complicated. We’re expected to be available &amp; accessible more and more, and as each day ends, we find ourselves with just a sliver of personal time left over.Our culture tells us&nbsp;that being ‘busy’ is somehow a good thing. &nbsp;We associate being busy with being&nbsp;in demand, sought after, and successful. &nbsp;Whether we see this busy-ness as self-imposed or not, it’s harder than ever these days to align ourselves with the person we want to be.When was the last time you felt&nbsp;fully recharged? &nbsp;When was the last time you had the space to really dedicate yourself to the things that are truly important to you? The Sacred Fig retreats are specifically designed to realign &amp; re-calibrate. &nbsp;To step away from our day-to-day dramas, and get a greater perspective on ourselves, our goals, our desires, &amp; our friendships.At The Sacred Fig retreats, expect sunrise meditation, and afternoon naps by the freshwater lake. &nbsp;Expect lovingly prepared, nourishing meals every day, and world-class yoga asana, taught by qualified, experienced &amp; inspirational teachers. &nbsp;Expect to create new bonds, share surprising conversations &amp; laughter… and still plenty of time for self-reflection.

The Sacred Fig 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training is a highly-intensive program designed to educate &amp; inspire the next generation of world-class yoga leaders. &nbsp;We firmly believe that the strongest attribute any yoga teacher possesses is themselves. &nbsp;And so we emphasize things like personal development, confidence, and speech (and we’ll bust some myths about alignment, too).&nbsp; Our rigorous program is approved by the Yoga Alliance, but it’s so much more than that. &nbsp;In fact, it’s one of the most comprehensive available today. &nbsp;Our teacher trainings attract students of all levels, from literally all around the globe. The Sacred Fig Yoga Teacher Trainings produce confident, knowledgeable, articulate, and empowered yoga teachers. &nbsp;Period.At the core of the The Sacred Fig philosophy is a profound sense of connection. &nbsp;Not only do our thoughts affect us in tangible ways, but we also have the extraordinary capacity to affect those around us, and the environment we live in. &nbsp;And so as yoga practitioners and teachers, we strive for the extraordinary, so that we may serve as a beacon of possibility for those around us. &nbsp;We see the divine in everything around us, but we also know that it lies within us. &nbsp;So before trying to shape &amp; control everything outside of us, we first look deep within, and do the work ourselves.We don’t provide answers (and we’re&nbsp;wary of any teacher or school who claims that they do).&nbsp; Instead, we welcome &amp; provide different viewpoints, we stir lively discourse. &nbsp;We set the circumstances to challenge notions&nbsp;about what yoga is, what it might feel like or look like, and why we practice. &nbsp;We create an&nbsp;accelerated learning environment, where trainees gain the confidence to discover their own “truths” about yoga, about their bodies and their practice. &nbsp;There’s no memorization, no mimicry, and no script. &nbsp;From this place, trainees find their authentic voice… sharing their knowledge &amp; their practice naturally. Join us.Watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1DwPFk6l4M">this 2 minute video </a>, which was filmed during a past 200hr teacher training in Bali. Our Bali trainings are listed as one of the top programs in Bali by <a href="https://findyogatrainings.com/">Find Yoga Trainings.</a>
