Paros Yoga Shalla

The food next door (both the 2 placed were excellent) and the accomandation was very cosy and comfortable. The host, Kiky was so kind, warm serviceminded and welcoming. The location near (5 min walk) the fantastic & cosy town, Naoussa. About 10 min to the beach. The yoga classes was ok, but have experienced much better.

Some of the other outside instructors were very good, particularly the one who used to be a journalist (sadly I forgot her name). And the lady who did the chanting had a lovely positive aura. Even though chanting is not my thing, she made it really enjoyable by clearly transmitting all her radiant energy.

Irana is outstanding as yogi, as a host, and as a person. This is serious yoga, yet also with a relaxed and friendly environment, and in a beautiful village and island.

I really enjoyed the variety of yoga classes offered by Irana, Connie & other teachers at Yoga Shala Paros. You can go for every single one of them on the schedule, or choose the specific classes you want to try. I loved the vinyasa classes L3 mostly but also the Iyengar, aerial yoga and tai chi thaught by other teachers were great! Meditation is also offered several times throughout the week which is fantastic.

The location of the yoga studio is close to the hotel where I was staying, so it' s comfortable to walk to and from classes. Breakfast and dinner is included in the package, which is nice. Dinner is at Open Garden restaurant and I had delicious vegetarian meal (salads, mushroom risotto, Greek starters as tatziki, aubergine dip every day. The chef seems to be flexible to your preferences and adjusts the meals (vegan, vegetarian, etc.). I had grilled fish one evening and grilled prawns another day which was tasty.

Overall, I was very happy with the retreat, the yoga practice, accommodation and experiencing Paros!
