Welcome to our 21-day Immersion Retreat
Supercharge your practice and deepen your knowledge
AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO MOVEMENT FOR HEALTH
2nd - 23rd November 2024
Lesvos, Greece
With an emphasis on the fusion of Yoga & QiGong in the spirit of Vanda Scaravelli, our intention for this Immersive retreat is to offer a healing and creative space with deep nourishment and nurturing in an outstanding retreat in Nature. You will be immersed in beautiful experiences such as sound baths, hikes to natural hot springs, ecstatic dance ceremonies, personalised bodywork and water dance sessions in the sea alongside group lessons and workshops. We will offer appropriate tools that will revitalise and rejuvenate your journey into health and vitality.
Our main themes will be the muscular-skeletal system, our internal organs, endocrine and lymphatic systems through functional movement and awareness of the breath. We will enjoy experimenting with simple meditation techniques from a non-dual perspective inspired by glorious nature.
This retreat is also beneficial for yoga and movement enthusiasts, practitioners and teachers wishing to learn in greater detail the intricacies and subtleties of their own body plus having the foundation to be able to convey this understanding to others.
We can offer a CPD (continuous professional development) certificate for those who wish via the YTT (Yoga Teachers Together) Association.
