The Setting and Atmosphere
What makes this tour stand out is the serene environment Lulu creates. Located at Lulushanti Yoga in Guia, Portugal, the class can be held either in the peaceful, natural dome or on a tranquil beach. The dome itself is designed to fuse with nature, offering a quiet haven for mindfulness and movement. You’re likely to appreciate the natural light and calming decor that Lulu employs to foster a sense of peace.
The beach sessions are especially popular, as the sound of waves and fresh air complement the physical flow of Vinyasa yoga. Many reviewers mention how these elements amplify the calming effect, making it more than just a workout but a transformative experience.
The Practice and Guidance
Lulu’s approach is deeply intuitive and inspired by the natural elements—earth, water, fire, air. Each class is aligned with one of these, which helps practitioners connect more deeply with their surroundings and inner selves. Her guidance is nurturing and supportive, tailored to foster emotional and energetic harmony alongside physical postures.
The classes are designed to nourish the body and calm the mind, making it suitable for anyone with a moderate physical fitness level. Expect a typical session to last around one hour, during which Lulu weaves gentle transitions and mindful breathing into each movement, creating an experience that goes beyond the physical.
Practical Details and Logistics
The tour costs approximately $21.62 per person, a reasonable price considering the quality of guidance and the intimate setting. Equipment is provided, so you don’t need to bring your own mats or props, which lowers the barrier for participation.
The meeting point is at Lulushanti Yoga in Guia, where groups are small—up to 15 participants—ensuring personalized attention. The activity begins promptly, and since it’s a mobile ticket, you’ll have your reservation ready without hassle.
It’s worth noting that transportation isn’t included, so you’ll need to arrange your own way to get to the meeting spot. Also, because the sessions are outdoors or in the dome, good weather is essential for the outdoor beach classes—if rain or poor weather intervenes, you might be offered an alternative date or a full refund.
Authentic and Positive Experiences
The single available review praises the experience as a “perfect way to start the trip” and underscores the connection with nature and Lulu’s guidance. The reviewer, who organized it for a friends’ hen trip, highlights how it fostered community and calm—a testament to its social and restorative potential.
Accessibility and Considerations
Though the experience is quite special, it’s important to be aware of the three steps into the dome and limited access to the WC, which might pose challenges for some travelers with mobility issues. The tour’s small size and focus on mindfulness mean it’s best suited for those comfortable with moderate movement and outdoor conditions.
Who Will Love This Experience?
If you’re someone looking for a peaceful, authentic yoga session that emphasizes connection with nature and personal well-being, you’ll find this tour highly rewarding. It’s perfect for mindfulness seekers, nature lovers, and small-group enthusiasts.
However, if you prefer more rigorous workouts or require full wheelchair accessibility, this experience might not meet your needs. It’s a quiet, restorative session rather than a high-energy class, so frame your expectations accordingly.
The Sum Up

For those who appreciate a holistic approach to wellness and a setting that fosters inner peace and connection, Lulu’s classes are a delightful choice.
