Exclusive Greek Island Yoga Retreat 2019
Thats correct, I am heading back to Greece for an exclusive Greek Island Yoga Retreat.
Join myself and fellow Yoga teacher Catherine Leong for an exclusive Greek Island Yoga Retreat from the 16th – 20th May, 2019.
Enjoy a magical 5 day and 4 night exclusive Yoga retreat on the island of Kythnos.
The island of KYTHNOS
A hidden gem of Cyclades. One of the few Greek islands yet to be discovered. You can expect more tranquility, less hustle and bustle. 360’ panoramic views of the Aegean sea. This Greek island has endless coastlines and whitewashed villages.
You will be staying at the Porto Klaras Hotel
The hotel is located at Loutra village, on the northern side of Kythnos island. Porto Klaras is within walking distance of the sandy beach of Loutra and the famous Kythnos Hot Springs. The Hydrotherapy Center of Kythos, which is open from May until October, is also nearby.
There are plenty of restaurants, shops, cafeterias, a bus stop and many other amenities, just a short distance from the hotel.
The Hotel is a unique blend of modern comfort with the usual charm you would expect to find on a Greek island.
Each room has a double bed, en suite bathroom and small kitchenette. With views overlooking the Aegean sea.
The weather in September is ideal. Not as hot as the peak summer months but still warm, perfect for outdoor Yoga practice, swimming and tanning.
We can assure you this will be a truly unique experience.
Dates: 16th-20th May 2019.
