Yoga Holiday - Lesbos, Greece, summer 2010 dates TBC
You are invited to enjoy a relaxing and rejuvenating week of yoga on the island of Lesbos, Greece. The Milelja Centre is purpose built and is situated on the hillside overlooking the Mediterranean - a short walk from the ancient village of Molyvos and only 10 minutes from a beautiful beach. A truly magical island, where you can swim in the warm sea, wander through the pine forests, visit traditional villages and medieval castles or dip into the nearby hot springs.
An opportunity to deepen your practice or begin yoga for the first time in a calm, peaceful environment conducive to relaxation, rejuvenation and unwinding.
This holiday experience will show you the possibility of extending yogic practices and awareness into your everyday life. Applying yoga in this way can make your day to day activities more fulfilling and less stressful. Students of all levels of experience welcome.
Accommodation
The accommodation at Milelja is of a high standard and very comfortable. Rooms are mostly twin-bedded; however there are some single rooms, and plenty of bathrooms to go around.
There are now 3 luxury apartments overlooking a mineral pool & jacuzzi which Detlef & Gisa hope to complete for 2007!
For more details about Milelja, please visit their website at www.milelja.com.
Course Leader
Abhijeeta (Emma Adrians) will be leading the yoga holiday. Abhijeeta's style of teaching is true to the Satyananda tradition, focusing on the meditative and spiritual aspects of yoga and incorporating the whole person, not just the physical body. There is an emphasis on awareness and students are encouraged to learn about all aspects of their personality through yoga.
