The mornings will start the day with a more active Hatha class while the afternoon yoga is a relaxing Yin/Restorative session. On arrival day, there is a practice in the late afternoon followed by dinner, and on departure, we will serve breakfast before we say goodbye.
Awakening
Every morning, before your yoga session, you will have an invigorating ginger shot prepared for you. Next, you will start the day on your yoga mat while enjoying the calm breeze and the first sunbeams. After this wonderful morning session, breakfast will be waiting for you.

Again, based on sustainable, local, and organic products. At dinner, they serve a homemade lemonade, but the bar will be open for other options.
Floating in Therma
One evening after dinner, you 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 you will be taken for the last evening together will be very special. It is close to the Asklepion, the sacred place of Hippocrates, father of Medicine who was born in Kos. The unique atmosphere makes this meditation an unforgettable experience.

Instructors
Gera Fokkens
For Gera, yoga is a philosophy of life. She can't imagine life without yoga. It makes her happy to see what yoga can do for people. To her, it is important that people are friendly, both to themselves and to others. This is also reflected during the sessions. By participating with attention and gentleness, one learns to be more tolerant: towards oneself as well as towards the people around. This makes life and the world more beautiful.
Marja Bazuin
As soon as Marja started yoga, she fell in love with it. For her, yoga is all about connecting body, mind, soul, and spirit. It’s a beautiful journey within. A journey to discover who you really are and why you are here. To listen, to feel, to connect. It’s an experience. She is here to guide you and help you find the beauty within yourself, so you can shine your light and spread your love.
Retreat location
The yoga center is located 5 kilometers from the city of Kos. Near, but still far enough from the hustle and bustle. It also allows you to make special walks and cycling trips in the area. On these routes, you will find real Greek tavernas, where you can enjoy the local atmosphere and the wonderful hospitality of the Greek people. The yoga center is exclusive for yoga holiday guests. Kos is known as the island for cycling and most people rent bicycles to get around and to explore more of the beautiful places.
