Health hiking in green nature is a wonderful way to balance body, mind and spirit while enjoying the benefits of physical activity and relaxation. This holistic practice enables you to experience the sounds, smells and sensations of unspoiled nature and creates a calming and inspiring environment that allows to let go thoughts and focus on the present moment.
Health hiking along Portugal’s coast allows you to feel the fresh sea breeze and hear the waves of the Atlantic as you walk along the sandy beaches. The gentle sound of the sea and the salty air can be very calming and relaxing. Health hiking on the coast can be a refreshing, invigorating and inspiring experience. It allows you relax and do something for your physical and mental health at the same time.

This spring we had an incredible experience with Marion and her health walks in the Parque Natural da Serra de Estrela in Portugal. Marion's sensitive instructions and leadership created a space for us to slow down, strengthen ourselves, and connect with nature.
