It is my absolute pleasure to invite you to join me on one of the yoga retreat holidays on the charming Greek island Poros. Choose from one of the following:
Each is for full 6 days of retreat with 7 nights of accommodation.
Something new and different this year!
In addition to group retreats I am very excited to introduce
AN EXCLUSIVE 1:1 RETREAT OPTION
That's right, so that all the care and attention can be lavished, focused on and tailored specifically to you only.
Together we can address any issues you want - improvements you wish to make - focus on fast-tracking your growth, elevating your attention to alignments and corrections, respond to sensations in the body or to fine-tune your overall energy, creativity, well-being - you tell me.
Everything is taken care of including transfers from/to airport, accommodation, all food and drink and of course all aspects of yoga, trips and relaxation. All you have to do is choose your dates and fly to Athens.
Group retreats are run with minimum 6 and maximum 10 students.
We have number of apartments available, one-bedroomed for single or double occupancy and two-bedroomed for double, triple or quad occupancy so you are welcomed to share your accommodation with partner, family or friends who do not want to take yoga classes but you can still enjoy the rest of your free time together and they will of course be included in all other activities (please contact me to book, price reduction is £125 per person and spaces are subject to availability so book fast).
We will be staying in the area of Askeli with plenty of tavernas, restaurants and beach within 5 minutes walk from our accommodation in a small, well cared for, family run apartment complex. Situated on an elevated terrain just next to the forest, away from the main road the property affords us exclusive yoga practice space, private tranquility and the most amazing views over the nearby seascape, perfect for watching breathtaking sunrises and basking under the star and moon lit night sky.
There is a choice of apartments with larger ones offering two bedrooms - ideal for two to four people sharing and smaller one bedroom studios for one to two people. Prices start from £725 in a low season and from £850 in high season per person taking yoga classes depending on number of occupants of and the size of apartment (read on or scroll for full price list below).
The apartments, each with their own balcony or terrace seating, are decorated and furnished in traditional Greek style, have own bathroom and well equipped kitchenet each.
GROUP RETREAT - Half board catering is provided with breakfast fruits and yogurt, bottled water and other refreshments plus lunches, along with number of group walking and bike trips during our stay to discover the beauty of the island and of course daily yoga classes.
Full list of provisions and additional extras will be sent to you after booking or to find out more please drop me a line.
PERSONAL 1:1 RETREAT offers all of the above as well as full board catering and transfers from and back to Athens airport.
*Please note all trips are dependent on weather conditions, and if a planned activity cannot proceed (highly unlikely), we will endeavor to organize suitable alternative
Our days will start with up to 2 hours morning meditation, slow start/wake up and warm up yoga class centered around poses corresponding to chakras and enabling practice for all levels of experience and flexibility.
The stay is designed to alternate free-time days with group activity days.
On non-activity days, you can enjoy relaxing time on one of the islands many beaches, walk to the main town to do your own exploration, arrange for a physio-therapeutic or relaxing massage or have your nails done, all offered directly at our accommodation (at additional cost/not included in the retreat price).
Each day we will continue yoga practice with an early evening 60-90 minute class focused on winding down, yin and yoga Nidra for deep relaxation.
Whilst fruit and Greek yogurt for breakfast are provided in apartments (alternatives possible on request) during all retreats along with lunch each day, bottled water and tea or coffee of your choice the following are excluded:
FOR 1:1 RETREAT
Flights to Athens and travel insurance is excluded.
That's it - the rest is all taken care of for you including all catering.
FOR GROUP RETREAT
All travel to and from the island and travel insurance is excluded.
Dinners are also excluded. I recommend a realistic budgeting of 35 Euro per night.
You will need to book your own flight to Athens and arrange your own travel insurance.
FOR 1:1 RETREAT
everything else is taken care of for you with private taxi from and back to Piraeus port including ferry to/from Poros island and taxi to/from accommodation.
FOR GROUP RETREAT
you will need to arrange your travel to Poros island.
There are number of options available, I will provide you with full guidance of the best routes and, except for the flights, I can help you making your arrangements for solo or group travel between Athens airport and Poros island. Just ask.
You do not need to bring anything to the retreat for your yoga classes.
Yoga mats, support blocks/bricks, blankets, belts and bolsters, everything is provided and ready for your use to help you reach and stabilise in each pose as we practice.
We will utilise supports and props to help you achieve the poses so you can feel safe and supported at all times and stay in poses to demonstrate how you can do so in your personal practice at home too.
All you need is clothing you are comfortable and can move freely in, perhaps layers you can take of or put on for relaxation savasana.
Poros is a beautiful small welcoming island-pair in the southern part of the Saronic Gulf, about 58 km south of the port of Piraeus. It offers number of lovely beaches, beautiful nature and both historical and contemporary sites to visit and experience.
And all that is before mentioning the exceptional hospitality of the locals, plethora of restaurants to experience delicious Greek cuisine and bars to enjoy a drink and music or even let your hair down dancing. To give you a better idea, here are some photos from my previous visits and some from local residents and artists showcasing the islands appeal and beauty.
I made a decision to keep prices as low as I can and therefore to keep yoga retreats financially accessible to as many people as possible because in line with my philosophy - yoga is for everyone.
But it is important to mention accessibility. There are number of steps to get to the accommodation from the main road and although taxi can drop of almost on a doorstep, there are still about 20 steps which are unavoidable.
Last but not least to ensure that we are a good fit of yoga teacher and student together, I can arrange a phone/video call prior to your proceeding with making a full booking to ensure that the time spent together bring the best for all. Please note spaces are not guaranteed until deposit is paid and deposit is non-refundable.
