Yoga Retreats

Our retreats are the ideal places to recharge, enjoying the fresh Mediterranean breeze, the beautiful landscape and the abundant sunshine. Our intention is to offer you an incredible and memorable retreat experience, by either introducing you to yoga practice, or deepening your experience. In our retreat, you will be studying Hatha Yoga, discovering your breath or exploring meditation, and eating healthy and freshly cooked Greek food. You will experience a unique opportunity to develop your body and mind, allowing your full potential to blossom; all that in a healthy environment where one can experience complete happiness. Our yoga retreat offers you an unparallelled experience and will provide you with ideas and skills that you can take with you on your continuing journey in life.

We offer you an incomparable quality 4-5 star hotels/accomodation at excellent value for money, a tribute to our commitment to quality. We will create the ideal holiday package for you, taking into consideration your needs, desires and your level of experience in yoga. We will also help you in planning your trip, booking your flights and for your transportation to and from the airport. Yogaloom offers a vegetarian friendly holiday, which supports organic and ecologically sound practices. Our holidays are ideal for taking a "non-yoga" friend/partner along with you.

Programmes Description

Our daily sessions will include yoga asanas (postures) as well as deep relaxation, Pranayama and Meditation Techniques. You will learn how to control and use your breath, practicing Pranayama (breath control) and engaging mindfully.

You will be practicing a relaxing but at the some time challenging class in the morning and a more restorative class in the evening. In between the two classes, you are free to do whatever you wish. We encourage you to do exactly what you like/need. There is a variety of activities among which to choose, such as taking a walk, visiting the quiet bays nearby for sun bathing or swimming, water-skiing, canoeing, swimming (arts/crafts and dance are available upon request). These activities as well as the yoga practices are of course optional, and if you just want to take some time out to relax, take a nap or read a book, you are more than welcome to do that.

If you wish, Katerina will create a yoga routine designed especially for you. After all, why not continue your own practice at home!
