INHALE.
EXHALE.
GREECE.
April 20th - April 26th 2020
So you want to get away for a bit?
Venture with me from Nebraska to beautiful Greece for a retreat that combines yoga with culture, art, and joy of life in the historic city of Athens and the magnificent Greek island of Paros!
Women’s Retreat - Destination Greece:
This yoga retreat is designed for women who are looking for a change of scenery. Whether you are a Yoga beginner or at an intermediate level. This is a week dedicated to nourishing yourself and helping you to re-balance your work/life situation. The schedule will include yoga, movement and meditation in all its forms and will be seasoned with the delightful beauty of Greece. Join us also in Athens combining ancient heritage and culture with modern urban vibes before we are setting the sails off to Paros together and are sharing time, exploring and experiencing the truly wonderful space at Tao´s Yoga Retreat Center.
Connecting with yourself!
In our workshops we will explore Yogic breathing and the power of breath in many of its different forms. Sessions will include Yoga 101, exploring the 7 chakras, learning how to include Yoga into your daily life, and the benefits of a continued practice of Yoga.
Between sessions and workshops you will find plenty of time for yourself. Our hotel, the Retreat Center, and the island itself is an ideal place to slow down and get back in touch with nature and yourself!
Discover the lesser known beauties of Greece and the benefits of Yoga with me and my co-host Steffi Vorbau from Germany!
