“Located 30 minutes from Lisbon, Terra Quinta offers lush nature, Olympic calm and a unique setting for comfortable wellness, an exclusive paradise for the body and mind, on a 5-hectare park full of organic character.
Welcome to Terra Quinta
Terra Quinta is a thoughtfully designed retreat sanctuary that seamlessly blends comfort, spiritual practice, and sustainable living. The Main House welcomes guests with an inviting space adorned with local artwork and shelves of books, creating an atmosphere where minds and spirits are nourished. Beyond the house, an arena anchored by a brazier invites exploration of the five elements through lunar cycles, mandalas, totems, and mineral representations from across the continents. A tranquil pergola provides the perfect setting for yoga, meditation, and sunrise contemplation, while an organic vegetable garden—cultivated with love and sustainable practices—supplies the retreat with seasonal produce year-round. Every element of Terra Quinta is designed to create a haven where guests can reconnect with nature, themselves, and their well-being.

Amanda is a student of consciousness who embraces adventure in the outer world and the inner world. As a yoga therapist her training is rooted in the Kripalu lineage and uses ancient tools to align the subtle body (including thoughts, energy, inner wisdom and spirituality) to support physical body. As a neurodivergent person, Amanda’s passion for neuro-wellness is embodied. Beyond sensory friendly classes, her guidance emphasizes nervous system regulation and sub-conscious re-patterning.
Amanda guides yoga on and off the mat with a sense of curiosity, and feels most closely connected to Oneness through nature. For her, the yogic system and practical philosophy has been a path of personal healing, regulation and ongoing learning that she feels called to share with others.
She guides students on their path of self-discovery, somatic awareness and inner authority. Amanda is passionate about ancient wisdom traditions including Helenistic Astrology. She loves to travel and has hosted self-discovery retreats in the US, Nepal, Greece, Mexico and Costa Rica. She first visited the Osa as a volunteer in 2012, and now resides part time in Nosara, Costa Rica. She credits Nosara Yoga Institute for introducing her to the magic of “Self-Awakening Yoga,” Nidra and high-prana yoga in the jungle.
