Program

Kos is the island of Hippocrates, the father of medicine who said: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”

Eating should be a pleasure and that is why they serve delicious, nutritious food. Every morning there is a fresh fruit or vegetable wake-up juice prepared for you. After your wonderful 90 minutes morning yoga and meditation session, a healthy breakfast will be served in the garden. You can make your own breakfast bowl with a plant-based yoghurt, tasty granola, various types of nuts and seeds, dried fruit and fresh fruit salad. There is oatmeal, freshly baked bread, jam and other toppings for your breakfast sandwich. You can squeeze your own fresh orange juice, try different herbal teas and we’ll be happy to make you a freshly ground coffee.

Rest of the day

The rest of the day, you will have all the time to do what you like and Yoga on Kos will give you recommendations for the best places to go. In the early evening, you have another 60-minute gentle relaxing Yin/Restorative yoga session with a view of the sun setting.

Dinner

In the evenings they serve a delicious plant-based Greek-style dinner, prepared on-site by the chef. Everything is fresh and they prefer to use local products. You’re welcome to bring one of your own newly discovered Greek wines. The good company and atmospheric lanterns with lights in the trees will create unforgettable evenings.

Floating in Therma

One evening after dinner, you will go to Therma. These are natural hot springs, which the Greeks themselves use to relax and enjoy. While the sun goes down and the stars come out, it is wonderful to float in the warm water with the sounds of the mountain goats in the background.

Sunset meditation

The sunset meditation at Hippocrates Altis where they will take you for the last evening together will be very special. It is close to the Asklepion, the sacred place of Hippocrates, the father of medicine who was born on Kos. The unique atmosphere makes this meditation an unforgettable experience.
