Relaxing by the crystal clear water, tasting the beautiful Greek cultures and lifestyle, disconnecting from a busy life, and feeling unwind through yoga…let’s give a nice treat to yourself, who is doing so well every day! Yoga is truly a PRACTICE FOR ALL with a range of benefits to our overall well-being as our bodies change, age, and handle various health challenges. We all deserve to practice it in whatever state we find our body or mind. Therefore, simple, clear, and carefully adaptable practice is offered by our specialized and experienced accessible yoga teacher during the retreat. Regardless of ability, state of health, or body type we want to share the praxis of yoga with people of all abilities and backgrounds. Taking the advantage of Yoga with the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual benefits, we invite you to our first accessible yoga retreat in beautiful Loutraki, Greece. We believe that we all have an equal right to access a safe space and take a moment to be mindful of ourselves. Everyone dreams about a relaxing holiday at the beach, and it is achievable with the achieved accessibility that fits individuals' needs. You might imagine that yoga is difficult for you, but yoga can be also experienced by everyone, no matter what their physical ability is. The matter is that “yoga” is the state when mind-body-soul is united. When your mind is calm and your heart is at peace, that is “yoga”. By combining accessible holiday facilities, diverse yoga practices, and a beautiful way of Greek living, we are sure that you will experience a mindful moment for the whole week.
