Highlights
The retreat has been designed to keep you moving and invigorated but without including endless routines of tedious exercise. You will start your day with a yoga session to wake up your body in a gentle way and after a healthy breakfast head out for a 3 - 4 hour hike taking in the breathtaking scenery. After lunch you are free for you to enjoy - have a nap, read a book by the pool, or just simply do nothing. There is another yoga session in the afternoon. Yoga styles taught include hatha, restorative and vinyasa flow. The teachers will provide modifications for your individual level. The classes are not just for experienced yogis, beginners will feel very comfortable too.In Pelion, every season provides a different perspective and something unique to the environment and the landscape which changes dramatically. The seasonal changes influence the activities. October is synonymous with mushroom and chestnut season, and one of the activities will be foraging local mushrooms and learning how to cook with them.
