Program
Every morning meditation is a part of our daily routine before we go ahead with the more active asana practice. After 2 hours of yoga, we eat a lovely brunch on our terrace if it's sunny and warm. After brunch, we have a short break before a noon-workshop which will differ every day as we cover different parts of yoga including, asana, pranayama, chanting mantra, philosophy, background, and much more.
A afternoon snack and then some free time where you can take a walk on the beautiful island, swim in the ocean, sunbathe, read a book in the hammocks, take a nap, and much more. And then to relax, we do some Yin yoga and relaxation practices. A nice dinner served buffet style and some of the nights we'll screen a yoga film for everyone who wants!
