Your day:   

The programme will vary slightly from one teacher to another but a typical day will begin with around two hours yoga practice in the morning followed by a delicious vegetarian brunch. 

You then have free time  to explore the area, take advantage of the massages and health treatments offered as optional extras, spend time on the beach, or simply enjoy the company of like-minded people.

The second yoga class of the day will take place in the late afternoon and is usually half an hour shorter in length.

After this yoga class the participants meet up again to eat, relax and chat at one of the local tavernas.

Blocks, mats, and belts are provided .

On most of our yoga holidays an optional guided walk in the unspoilt countryside of this side of the island are also offered.

These cover a wide variety of terrain from rocky mountainsides rich with herbs and other plant life to beautiful sandy or stony beaches and also take in local places of interest.  

Walks are generally two to three hours in length, not strenuous, and give you a real flavour of the area. They usually end in one of the many hospitable tavernas.

If you intend to walk please bring shoes with a good tread and heel support.

Location: We are situated at the western end of Crete, which is much less developed for the holiday-maker than the areas towards the other end of the island.

There is also the option of taking our yoga class outside by the pool should the group prefer it.
