Let me take you on a journey to dive deep into Yin Yoga. Discover & experience the healing effect it has on your body & mind in the middle of astonishing landscapes, beaches on a beautiful Ionian island in Greece. Enjoy 5 rejuvenating days filled with Yin Yoga, hikes, healthy food and intriguing energy.

Dive deeper into the philosophy and theory around Yin Yoga, as introduced to the world by Paul Grilley; A quiet practice in which the Chinese Meridian system theory and anatomy are combined in long held poses.

This retreat is completely focused on Yin and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the daily meditative quiet Yin sequences will be designed around the TCM’s meridian and 5 elements system.

Every day another theme will be focused on, for example a certain meridian-pair, an element, an emotion.

You will experience the flowing of energy, learn to get to know your body and how to find your edge, get comfortable in an uncomfortable stretch, feel how your body opens up, creating space for energy to flow and improving your range of motion.

After practicing we will have time to explore : where does Yin yoga come from, how does it differ from other types of yoga ? What is the connection with Chinese Medicine ? What are meridians and what do they look like, what is fascia, connective tissue ? What is the connection between fascia and meridians ? What is Chi ? How can we use Yin yoga in a way that we feel more relaxed, more flexible without having to engage in difficult poses, to feel fitter and younger ? What is the connection between energy, emotions and meridians ?

The retreat will be hosted in cooperation with Yoga Center Foodpath, in their Lefkada Guesthouse, situated in an authentic Greek mountain village, in the middle of nature. In the area there will be many possibilities for hikes, but also to go to one of the beautiful beaches on the island.
