Instructors
Tony Duke
Tony will be teaching Hatha yoga classes while using his personal mantra of ‘KISS’: Keep It Spiritually Simple, to build trust to break through self-doubt using a simple yet effective self practice to continue their journey towards self acceptance and well being. Tony opened his own school named Yoga Club in the Isle of Man in 2004 through 2005. Since then, his spiritual quest has taken him through Australia, Thailand, and India.
Vanessa
Over the years, she has completed different teacher training courses and learned from many different and special teachers and was particularly fascinated to gain insights into the different yoga traditions, the approaches to this way of living. Generally, she practices Hatha yoga. She also combines different yoga traditions to create a unique and wide experience for the class. Yoga can be translated as "union" of body and mind. Yoga is freedom and balance. Corfu is a unique place to escape from everyday life and reconnect with yourself, in harmony with the sea, the sun and the beach.
