Astanga and Yin Yoga Holiday with Georgina Evans

This yoga holiday offers you the space and time to explore various aspects of your practice. With plenty of personal attention there will be ample time for your practice to develop as you relax and unwind. All levels of yoga experience are welcome!

Each day begins with a led Astanga yoga practice. This will be followed by a delicious vegetarian Cretan brunch. The day is then yours to explore the local area with some stunning walks, relax and swim at the beach or simply enjoy the company of like-minded people. The early evening yoga session offers the more restorative approach of Yin yoga, meditation and relaxation. Many of the themes of this gentler approach to yoga can be carried into the morning class and put into practice.

Workshops

Yin Yang Yoga Experience: Exploring the heart

Date and venue to be confirmed

Yin Yang Yoga exploring the heart
All yoga is about creating equilibrium and balance. Yin yoga specifically cultivates softness of being, strength of mind, inner harmony and outer stillness. It is a deeply creative practice that heightens levels of physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Yoga poses are held for longer periods of time to encourage deep stretch, release of tension and energy rebalancing.

There is also time to develop self awareness of ones own mental and emotional habits. Yin postures are then followed by a short sequence of alignment based yang style poses in preparation for a seated meditation.

Cost to be confirmed, please email me at georgina@cowrieyoga.com for further information.
