"Enhance & Empower your Life" 6 Day Summer Yoga Retreat in Evia with Vicky Tomsky (July 4-9, 2021)

Facilities

During this six-day retreat, you will explore the inner worlds through the practice of Hatha, Ashtanga, and Vinyasa yoga, using several yoga principles to reset your body and mind from the stressful daily routine. These vitalizing and restorative practices coupled with different types of meditation and pranayama sessions, all according to the themes prepared for each day, will result in greater well-being, simplicity, and equilibrium in life. The intention is to establish yourself and your attitude towards life in the principles of yoga even after the retreat is completed. The result will be a strong and healthy body, a loving heart, a calm mind, a peaceful soul, and a bright smile on your face!

This retreat offers the opportunity to practice yoga in-depth with an experienced and inspirational teacher who will share her passion for yoga and personal growth. The focus of the program is to integrate oneself as a person but also to delve deeply into all aspects of a fully rounded yoga practice. This means you’ll be following well-structured sessions created to educate and provide experience in all aspects of practice from meditation, pranayama, and asana to exploring your deeper sense of self and identity.

Mornings

Beginning with quiet seated meditation and chanting to set your intentions for the day and develop deeper awareness. Followed by breathing and traditional pranayama practices designed to release tension and improve subtle energy awareness. Completing the morning with an energetic Vinyasa/Ashtanga yoga session focused on anatomically sound movement and alignment or, an assisted self-practice session to work with the individual needs.

Afternoons

These sessions will begin with a presentation or discussion to encourage a deeper understanding of your yoga practices and their purpose within your modern lives. You will cover ideas relating to your sense of self or identity and the many challenges you face finding balance in your life. Following this with either a themed workshop-style educational yoga session, such as back bending and inversions, or restorative/relaxing asana.
