We, Martina, teacher and practitioner of Yoga and master of Taekwon-Do and Bernardo, grand master of Taekwon-Do, teacher of Yong Chun/Ving Tsun and practioner of Yoga are content about the idyllic setting of Quinta Bamboo which supports our holistic, therapeutic and meditative bodywork.
As farmers and gardeners we are working towards being as sustainable as possible, we try to apply principles of permaculture and live by the values and ethics of the yoga tradition by respecting and honouring our natural environment.
- Finding peace and harmonious tranquility.
- Respecting people, animals, plants and land.
- Transforming the products we receive from nature by drying, making jams, oils, juices etc.
- Learning to respect the limits of nature and appreciating a conscious life.
The houses at Quinta Bamboo are designed and built by ourselves, always with the view to use environmentally ecofriendly and recycled materials.
We like to share our skills and abilities and we want to do our best to inspire others to protect and preserve the natural world by living a healthy, simple and green lifestyle.
