Yoga in Greece

Description

Awaken Your Body, Mind and Heart

Discover peace, relaxation, and rejuvenation on this breathtaking Greek island. A yoga, meditation and dance course that will focus on rebalancing energy and repairing problems within our bodies while we go in search of the sacred. We will practice sacred dances, meditation and dervish yoga coming from India and Tibet as well as other places. The goal is to focus on stimulating and harmonizing all our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual resources, allowing us to be more at peace, more creative, and more joyful in our daily lives. In the afternoon, we will discover beautiful waterfalls, springs, beaches and small villages on  this spiritual island and we will share and discuss and speak about the science of movement. On the last morning, we will dance in the temple dressed in white where hundreds of years ago people danced to achieve better vibrations.

During the exploration, we will be practicing:

• Yoga (Dervish, Nadi)
• Sacred movements of Gurdjieff
• Energetic hygiene
