A 7days yoga and rebirthing retreat at Chalkidiki Sani resort

The retreat will take place at a villa in the centuries-old forest of Sani at Kassandra peninsula. It is surrounded by pine trees, which cover all area up to the sea. The beach, which is known for its exotic, white and fine sand, is situated in a 15 minute walking distance.

 

The villa is situated in a 17 acres site, full of olive trees. At one corner of the site there is also a kitchen garden from which the cook will pick vegetables and prepare our meals*, with the oil produced by the olive trees of the site.There is also a pool with sea water as well as an ancient olive tree at the center of the site. The villa has got three bathrooms, two living rooms, two kitchens and six bedrooms which can accommodate twelve people. In this attractive hide-out you will be practising hatha yoga and meditation combined with rebirthing/breathwork, under an ancient olive tree.

 

The yoga which you will be taught is based on the techniques of BKS lyengar and is suitable for practitioners  of all levels. Participants will also be taught techniques of mindful meditation. All this combines perfectly well with rebirthing, a technique of conscious breathing that unlocks cellular memory and brings increased awareness and clarity of the mind.

 

 

During the retreat a cook and a cleaner will be in our service on a daily basis. Three vegetarian meals will be prepared every day and the cleaner will tidy the house and serve the meals every day.
