ARTEMIS YOGA WEEK

Spring is a wonderfully fresh season in Crete with pastures full of colourful wild flowers. Here you can stand, gaze and breathe in the pure air. Snow lies on distant mountains giving an alpine quality, while locally the days are mild making walking easy. Our guided walks and trips take you away from the usual sight-seeing locations and you may not see another tourist all day.

At the end of the day, usually before dinner, you have a yoga session designed to give you a sense of well being. The yoga is equally suitable for newcomers and those who practice yoga regularly. It includes both physical exercises and breathwork to support mindfulness. Just bring soft, easy fir pants and tops to wear.

The food we offer you is fresh and healthy, served in delightful tavernas chosen for their nutritious Cretan cooking. Vegetarian options to support your yoga are available.

You can also choose an aromatherapy massage or health treatment as an optional extra. The massage is relaxing and therapeutic while the treatments explore the cause of health problems (sometimes a surprise) while looking for a soluion to promote good health. All are holistic and tailor made to suit you and provided by fully qualified practitioners.

Your yoga teacher: Julier Green is a qualified yoga teacher in the Sivananda tradition which focuses on creating a deep sense of inner peace. She has been practising yoga for over 20 years, teaching since 2003.

Your host Stelios  will welcome you with legendary Cretan hospitality and make your stay in Crete and experience you will never forget.
