It is my absolute pleasure to invite you to join me on one of the yoga retreat holidays on the charming Greek island Poros.
We have number of apartments available, one-bedroomed for single or double occupancy and two-bedroomed for double, triple or quad occupancy and you are welcomed to share yours with partner 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 for price reduction).
We will be staying in the area of Askeli with beach, tavernas and restaurants within 5 minutes walk from our accommodation in a small, family run apartment complex with two exclusive yoga practice spaces. Situated on an elevated terrain away from the main road the property is not overlooked as there are no other buildings above. The complex offers 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. Cost ranges from £675 to £999 in a low season and from £850 to £1,155 in high season per person taking yoga classes depending on number of occupants of and the size of apartment.
The apartments, each with their own balcony or terrace with seating, are decorated and furnished in traditional Greek style, come with own bathroom and well equipped kitchenet.
Half board catering is provided with breakfast fruits and yogurt, bottled water and in apartment 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.
*Please note all trips are dependent on weather conditions, and if a planned activity cannot proceed, we will endeavor to organize an alternative
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.
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.
Dinners can be taken on your own or in a group, I will be very happy to help you organize booking for your own or a group and recommend the best places to eat and experience the local hospitality and entertainment. The apartments are well equipped if you want to cook your own and there is always an option of takeaway
Full details will be emailed to you once you secure your space on the retreat with deposit payment and I am always available to answer any questions and offer further assistance.
Whilst fruit and greek yogurt for breakfast is provided in apartments, brunch/lunch is included, but should you want something more substantial first thing in the mornings there are number of shops and supermarket within walking distance of our accommodation to cater for all needs.
Dinners are excluded, however I do recommend a very reasonable and realistic budgeting of 30eruos per night absolute max. Further details will be provided once you book your space on the retreat or to find out more, please drop me a line.
Your travel (and travel insurance) is also excluded from the retreat price.
Whilst all travel is excluded from the retreat price and you will need to book your flight to Athens and then onto Poros island, I can guide you to the best routes, having travelled to and from Poros island many times now and, except for the flights, I can help you arrange group travel between Athens and Poros.
Where airlines allow, I strongly recommend selecting flight option with hand luggage/small suitcase only (usually 8 or 10kg) which will make your travel to the island easier and keep the costs down.
There are number of options for travel to Poros. Should there be a group interested I can help organize a transfer from airport to Poros.
You do not need to bring anything to the retreat for your yoga classes.
From yoga mats, support blocks/bricks, through small rolls for knees and large rolls for neck to belts, 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 in and stay in poses to demonstrate how you can do so in your personal practice 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.
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.
