5 principles

At AVY Road Cycling Hub Quinta, as your hosts during your stay we advocate and implement the 5 principles of Yoga as a cornerstone and pilar for everyday life greatly maximising the benefits of applied sports activities and further providing additional stability in the day-to-day experiences, retreat dynamic and flow.


Proper Exercise

Asanas or postures. They work primarily on the spine and central nervous system. The spine gains in strength and flexibility, circulation is stimulated, bringing nutrients and oxygen to all the cells of the body. 



Proper breathing

Pranayama or Yogic breath. Pranayama stimulates the energy reserves of the solar plexus, revitalising body and mind. Regulating the breath helps to store prana, or life force. Through proper breathing exercises and regular practice we are able to tap into your bodies natural energy reserves.  


Proper Diet

The yogic attitude to food is: eat to live, not live to eat. Food is chosen to have a positive effect on the body and mind and to have as little negative impact as possible on the environment and other living beings. A lacto-vegetarian diet rich in seeds, nuts, fruits, grains and dairy products and high in legumes and vegetables is recommended. However, fresh, unrefined foods are best prepared simply to maximize nutrients.

Proper Relaxation

Deep relaxation works on three levels. Physical, mental and spiritual- and is the most natural way to re-energize body and mind. During the deep relaxation at the end of a yoga session, the body uses only enough prana to maintain vital metabolic activities. The rest of the energy gained during practice is stored. 


Positive Thinking  and Meditation

Positive thinking and meditation are the keys to peace of mind. Meditation techniques calm the mind and enhance focus and concentration.Try not to Focus on thoughts and when they appear to let them go. Focus on your breath, cause this is the real present. After some practice you will recognize how much power is in the Present. Its is a Big Adventure to take accepting the challenge.
