It was an unforgettable experience.
Our teacher was very competent and sensitive. She also embodies the knowledge she passes on!
We were very well looked after by the hotel owners. There was a very familiar atmosphere.
Thanks for everything !

"Exceeded expectations!"
I booked this quite last minute as I had time off between jobs and I didn’t expect how much I would love it.
Miriam is fantastic, wise and the philosophy teachings quickly became my favourite part of the day.
The hotel and accommodation was incredible, the food was great, healthy and nourishing. Very good facilities, lovely pool, spa and easy walks to the beach.
The staff if super attentive and planned lots of great activities for our days off.
The asana practices in the morning were amazing and the practical/theory lessons were very informative.
I finished my 100hrs wishing I could stay and complete the 200hrs, so I am definitely coming to next year.
I think its very well planned, the lessons are engaging and you really feel a shift in your core by surrounding yourself with likeminded people in a special island.

"If you found yourself considering this program, GO FOR IT!!"
Starting with the hotel, food and accommodations, the views are just breathtaking, the food was excellent, the staff was so friendly and the spa was truly luxurious.
To the program, what an all around positive and enlightening experience. Miriam brings so much to the table. She is authentic and true, supportive and knowledgeable, kind and willing to help wherever she can. Hannah also taught us so much. Through her anatomy classes to teaching yoga, she is a one of a kind gem. She was so supportive and there for any questions or concerns we had as we went through this journey.
Everyone involved in the program was truly present throughout our stay and there for us.
If you are looking into teacher training, look no further because this program and Amorgos itself is an experience of a lifetime. It will give you all the tools you need to move forward on your journey. My soul was truly touched.

"The perfect environment to connect with your inner self"
The location is amazing! From the the top of the hill you can see the little village of Aegialis surrounded by mountains and the vivid blue of the aegiean sea. A positive energy fills the place and I could relax and enjoy every moment of my stay. The Yoga course was intense and accurate so as the philosophy and the anatomy lessons.

"What a treat!"
Miriam and the team went above and beyond to make the retreat a special experience. From taking us on outings to familiarize ourselves with the island and its history to organizing a fire ceremony on the rooftop overlooking the Aegean Sea, Aegialis truly is an escape. Learning technique and philosophy from someone who lives - and loves - what they teach makes a huge difference. I plan to go back for more one day!
The spa (plus massage!) and meals were also really nice. So many options, especially during breakfast.

Monika Fleming

Honestly I had no complaints. The yoga and hotel staff were top notch. I loved the location. I went on many walks after yin to traditional villages, different beaches, churches, and up mountain roads. The program is well thought out and I learned a lot. Miriam was always teaching us in one way or another. Addi did a lot of extra meditations and such. Hannah was a great anatomy teacher and we always ended up in long discussion about the human body. The tours were fantastic, just half day tours (you'll appreciate the other half of the day to relax or do your own thing) but the guides were excellent. The free massage was great and access to the spa was very nice to have and aided in our body maintenance. I left the experience with an awareness of a lot of imbalance in my life and a motivation and groundwork to live a more disciplined, spiritual, and balanced lifestyle.

"Gratitude"
I feel so grateful and lucky to have done my yoga teacher training at Aegialis school of yoga. Our yoga classes, the philosophy, the surroundings, the hotel staff and all my wonderful fellow yogis made the three weeks a wonderful and unforgetable experience. Thank you!

This 200 hour yoga training in Amorgos was challenging, transformative, beautiful, and special. This training helped me establish a regular daily meditation and personal yoga practice in addition to giving me the ability to pursue teaching. Miriam is a gifted teacher who also leads by example. At this training, we were given all healthy meals by a joyful kitchen staff, access to a tranquil spa, philosophy, anatomy and physiology, business and daily yoga practice with complimentary yin yoga; a deeply nurturing style. Evelpis and Adi, also instructors helped lead our training with knowledge and grace; and were always available for questions any time. The front desk staff also helped me with any questions and communicated in a clear and timely manner. This school cares and does it with true pride and love as it’s mission. Thank you Aegialis school of Yoga.
P.S. just note that if you travel in the off season, ferries back to Athens will not leave every day, so consider when booking your flight. Flights are also available from nearby airport at Naxos.

Miriam is one of the most caring and thoughtful teachers. She is so passionate about Yoga practice and the Philosophy which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable! I never thought I’d be able to recite phrases in Sanskrit but because of Miriam I was able to pass my YTT with little struggle!

"6/10 nice but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it "
Miriam was lovely and a great asana instructor and philosophy teacher. The views are beautiful and the rooms where nice (I shared with 3 other women). I would return for a shorter training by Miriam but not for a 300hrs.

"Amazing program! "
Overall, This was such a wonderful program! Miriam is so kind, amazing, and very knowledgeable about philosophy and the aspects of yoga. I loved waking up everyday to meditation and asana practice, a great way to start the day. The hotel staff was more than just your normal staff, they made sure to get to know you and truly made sure you were happy with your stay. Overall I felt like I leaned a lot from Miriam and can’t wait to come back when they offer 300hours

"A Slice Of Healing Heaven"
My time spent here was a very special experience and one which I will hold close to my heart forever.
I came to heal myself, to learn, grow and develop both spiritually and physically and I believe I achieved both! Partly due to all those hip openers during Yin! Elena has the most soothing, calming voice which makes you melt onto your mat!
Miriam is a wonderfully gifted yoga teacher who will always inspire you to keep going. Her knowledge for such a young age is astounding. . . She’s clearly been on this planet a few times before! Her kind and caring nature make her the kind of teacher who is not only supportive but approachable.
The hotel is clean, comfortable, very pretty but it really is the staff who make this place feel like home as they are so welcoming and friendly.
Make sure you pay extra and book yourself into the spa for one of Christos amazing deep tissue massages!
I was very sad to leave this little slice of heaven but perhaps I will find a way to return again in the future.
Thank you to all the teachers, staff, cats, donkeys and the of course the spirit of the mountains. 😊

"Amazing experience "
Super friendly staff, Miriam is a great teacher. All the philosophy part was really interesting, I could have listened to her for hours. I loved the morning meditation & asanas class.
The food is delicious, Arta and the team take good care of us ! Views are breathtaking, we can easily go to the beach or village and the spa is nice. There is a family atmosphere that makes you feel like at home from the beginning.
I recommend it 100%

"Learn Yoga and be Pampered"
Everything! The program is delivered by a passionate and caring team who go above and beyond to welcome participants and do their best, and succeed, to make it a comfortable and memorable experience. Miriam is a very knowledgeable yoga practitioner. And her team of instructors are all top notch! The main Shala is stunning with panoramic views, and so are the 3 smaller shala rooms.
They even toss in some delightful surprises. So Leave space in your luggage when you do come!
Aegialis is a fabulous five-star facility set in a quiet and very picturesque location. The staff are so accommodating. The dining meal quality and variety is fabulous! This facility does not cut corners and as mentioned already, I felt pampered as did my fellow students. The spa facilities with the saltwater pool, sauna, steam room, Hot tub and gym is an oasis for downtime. Aegialis even provided an island tour and guided hike on our Sundays off.
Be prepared to dedicate yourself to the practice and be delighted by your progress.
I am ever so glad I chose this 25day Yoga Teacher Training at Aegialis Hotel and Spa. I highly recommend it.

The overall experience at the Aegialis School of Yoga was amazing! It was an incredible journey, i gained a lot of wisdom and strength in my body. Everybody in the Aegialis School of Yoga and at Aegialis Hotel and Spa is very kind and warm-hearted, it felt like family since i arrived. The rooms and facilities are very luxurious and the Spa is perfect for relaxing after training and classes. The food is amazing and very nourishing with a lot of different options.
What made this whole experience very special is Miriam. Her classes are amazing, my mind and body felt always incredible after the yoga classes. How Miriam shared her wisdom and knowledge about philosophy with us was very inspiring, which made it very easy for me to listen and be focused. I’m very grateful for the experience and everything i’ve gained during this Yoga Teacher Training and to be now part of the Aegialis School of Yoga family.

I cannot find the words to describe this journey. I want to thank Miriam for being this amazing teacher and the Hotel for providing such a luxury service to us.

I have no words to describe how beautiful the overall experience was. I took the 100H TTC, and it was awesome.
We were so pampered by anyone in the hotel, spa and teachers. Mirien is so knowledgeable, and her kindness and attention to everyone are impressive.
I'm already looking forward to going back in Spring to complete the remaining 100h.
I rightly recommend the course and this magical Island. Namaste!

"Life changing experience"
We learned so much from Miriam about yoga philosophy, asana practice, pranayama and meditation. All that she taught us really changed my vision on yoga, my vision of life.
It was really intensive, we had extremely long days but I learned a lot.
Because we were a big group, Miriam had 3 assistants. This was really interesting as every person can teach you something different.
In the evening we always had the possibility to do a yin yoga session with Eleni. She is such a kind and passionate person. She is always around to help you whenever you need it.
The hotel is situated on a magical place. The views on Amorgos and the sea are amazing. I shared my room with 3 (amazing) other girls. We had enough space so everything was perfect.
The spa was good but we didn’t have a lot of time to spend there. The persons from the spa were so kind to keep the spa open a little longer at night so we could enjoy it! That was so kind of them.
Because of Covid the persons working in the restaurant had to serve us everyday. They were so kind to us!
This adventure made me fall in love all over again with yoga, most of all the yoga philosophy.

Miriam, words can't describe how much you mean to me, your such an inspiration. Absolutely amazing teacher, so passionate and driven. Excellent trainer, I loved learning with you 😊 I will take so much from this life changing course.
Loved every minute of the course, from meditation, yoga, Anotomy and Physiology to yoga Physiology.
Met some absolutely incredible people on the course who made it extra special.
Christos Theodosius is great, very nurturing. Very passionate about his job and a great teacher!
Stamatis Giannakopoulos is a such a kind soul, so passionate and truly inspirational.
Keleovi is also an amazing teacher, such a great support, very caring and understanding.
The food was perfect, so much choice and super healthy. Very accommodating with dietary needs, staff were incredible, Arta what a legend!!! All were superb, so helpful and kind.

Everything! Myriam, Christos and Samatis are excellent teachers. I could not imagine I would learn as much as I did. The staff on to0 was so attentive to every details.

What was not to like!? Everything was beyond my expectation! The food was delicious and healthy, the classes were just so amazing and informative. All the teachers are so knowledgeable and really know how to give classes well, so you actually remember everything you learn! I would definitely go there again if I had to choose over again. The view was breathtaking and the whole Hotel and the spa was also just so amazing! Everyone was so friendly and we even felt like and started calling the wonderful women who served us our food (and more importantly took care of us) our mom! 🤩💙 They all made this experience so special and I will always be greatful for that!

"Life Changing Experience :-)"
Es war ein unfassbar tolles Teacher Training und ich kann es kaum erwarten, bei weiteren Trainings dabei zu sein (z.b. beim 300h teacher training).
Die Lehrerin ist richtig toll und schafft es, die Yoga Philosophie vorzuleben und gleichzeitig in der „modernen“ Welt fest verankert zu sein. Ein ganz inspirierender Mensch! Die Asana-Stunden und Meditationen haben mir richtig gut gefallen. Ich hab so viel gelernt und konnte in den 3 Wochen viel körperliche Stärke und Flexibilität aufbauen.
Die Kursinhalte waren sehr gut strukturiert und haben sehr gut aufeinander aufgebaut. Ich fand es super, dass viel Wert auf die Philosophie gelegt wurde.
Die Insel und die Lage vom Hotel ein absoluter Traum! Jeden Tag den Blick aufs Meer und die Möglichkeit für eine kurze Strandpause. Einfach super!
Das Essen war auch richtig toll. Sehr vielseitig, sehr gesund und für jeden etwas dabei. Mit Lerninhalten zu Ayurveda und Food Meditationen wurde das Essen nochmal zu einem neuen Erlebnis :-)
Sehr herausstechend für mich waren das Hotel und die Angestellten. Wunderschöne Räume, tolle Shalas, ein toller Spa Bereich. Sehr modern, sauber, gemütlich und auf einem sehr hohen Level!
Bei einem großen 5 Sterne Hotel erwartet man aus Erfahrung häufig einen unpersönlichen Hotelklotz. Hier nicht zutreffend! Das Hotel ist ein Familienbusiness. Die Familie ist so lieb, herzlich und authentisch. Die Angestellten waren immer super freundlich, witzig und gut gelaunt. Dadurch fühlte man sich wie Zuhause!
