Connect to yourself and revitalize in Greece
Slowing down is what a lot of us find resistance towards and at the same time it is one of the most wonderful ways to truly, deeply connect and experience ourselves. You are invited to take a week away for yourself, a week of moving your body with paying attention to what different postures trigure in you. We will practice some flowy yoga postures as well as more passive kinds of yoga stretches. Each one of them targetting a different part of you. Make the time and come to us. This yoga retreat is created for those of you that wish to have a little more time for your body and soul. If you have been wanting to start meditating, or re-start reading, or exercising... or feel like you are a little out of balance, this is especially for you.
Come to gorgeous Corfu, in sunny and warm Greece to enjoy the Ionian sea breeze, to taste local food, to move your body, to listen to your soul, to chill on the wonderful sandy beach of St. George or Issos and reconnect with yourself!
No matter what your level of asana practice, you are welcome to come and enjoy yourself. We will provide you with everything you need in order to relax and immerse yourself in daily yoga classes, meditation, breathwork, mantra singing and more... surrounded by stunning sunsets, seaviews, chilling sessions in the "kipo" and, of course, plenty of gorgeous, healthy, freshly cooked, local vegetarian food. Athina's grandma is involved in this... it will be amazing!

Level of practise
Newby? Intermediate? You are at the right place!
It is all about the breath. As long as you can breathe, you can yoga. Take your time. Be present, practice mindfully and carry on being in the moment. The aim is to be using yoga and mindfulness to empower each individual to take a more active role in their self-care and postures isn’t the only part of yoga… We use postures to get in the body, we don’t use the body to get into postures… so no matter how advanced or beginner your posture/asana practice, you are perfect.
It is all part of a journey and we have all been at the beginning at some point. Please don’t feel like you have to perform, you are coming to yoga to meet yourself… not show your flexibility skills, your strength of your muscles, but instead sharpen your ability to stay with yourself, accepting where you are right now and loving each and every clumsy move along the way.
Are you ready for this yummy experience with us? It is only a decision away. Let this trip be the beginning of a new routine with you in the centre.
Just come to breathe, relax, meet the sunshine and be happy.

Workshop
Meditation & Mindfulness
Meditation and Mindfulness workshops are possibly the best hour you can give yourself! They are the kind of workshops that you won't need pen and paper for, you won't need to learn anything, perhaps the key principle here is to unlearn a few patterns and behavious. During those hours we focus around being present, we find little basic ideas that help practice mindfully and we accept change. In mindfulness workshops we don't force things, we allow them to happen. Breathe in and take a moment to feel the cold air touching your nostrils, pause there, breath out and notice how its quality has changed. How do you expect everything else in life not to change? Nothing is permanent so make sure you enjoy what's worth your enjoyment. Now is the time.
Workshop
Yoga Asana
It is beautiful when you find what feels good for your unique body. Yoga practice is not about getting bendy, it is about reuniting with yourself, using your body and mind, noticing their patterns, exploring their limitations and without judgment playing around with them. In Asana workshops we focus around a handful of postures and their alignment. Most practicioners, no matter how advanced, often wonder if they are accessing yoga postures properly... This is an opportunity to dive into foundation, key principles, aims and sensations of different asanas and searching for the most appropriate way to use those in order to connect better with ourselves. Join this workshop during your stay and experience your practice the best way your body needs.
Treatment
Sound Bath with Crystal Singing Bowls
Sound treatments are here to help you release tension, work through blockages and connect with yourself in a deeper level. During these sound treatments the practitioner utilises the healing aspects of ancient Tibetan techniques and brings them to your body through vibrating singing bowls in the form of waves. The waves, as created by Tibetan and Crystal singing bowls, are played with clear intensions and directly from the heart. Sound is such a powerful media, as tradition has shown and modern research has come to support, especially when practitioner and patient/client are working towards the same goal or releasing, connecting, clearing, having left concepts and words outside the treatment room and allowing the vibrations to flow.
(Extra charge)
Workshop
Pranayama • Yogic Breathing
Breathing is the foundation of your life. Naturally breathing becomes the foundation of your yoga practice too. With each inhale you have the opportunity to create space and with every exhale you can allow your experience to deepen. Kapalabhati, Alternate Nostril Breathing and other exercises will become more accessible as time goes by and as you get familiar with paying attention to yourself. In these sessions we practice different breathing techniques, we explain how you can benefit from them, what the different steps are and we give ourselves time to try and modify them. Come join us for a whole session dedicated to breathing, or you can often get a glimpse of pranayama workshops by joining a meditation or even a yoga practice.
Get together
Mantra singing
What a wonderful way to reach a meditative state without worrying about your mind getting busy! Mantras help quiten the mind and stimulate the endocrine system in such a relaxed and joyful manner. And of course, there are plenty more reasons to sing mantras but this is not the time to bore you with making a list.
Have you tried it? Mantra singing is so much fun!!! Are you one of these people that lyrics isn't your thing? Well, if so then mantras are going to be your favourite kind of singing!!! You get a few commonly sanskrit phrases, with spiritual content and you have the opportunity to repeat these Indian jewels over and over, often at different tempos until everybody has got the words and the tune (but not that it actually matters). It is a chance to enjoy just being with everyone else around you, a wonderful way to connect with the rest of the group, a playful and gentle way to help you focus your attention. Let's play together.
