Patmos is one of the most beautiful islands of the Dodecanese, a group of twelve islands stretching along the south east corner of the Aegean Archipelago. It is a holy island frequently named “The Jerusalem of the Aegean”.
The capital of the island, Chora, has been built around the imposing fortified Monastery of Saint John the Theologian, during the 12th Century and is offering an exceptional architecture with narrow alleys, and superb houses with flowered courtyards.
Patmos is a mountainous island with rocky soil and miles of tracks and lanes as well as a number of monasteries and small churches to explore. |

With its picturesque villages, the whitewashed cubic houses, the charming lace-like coastline and the pebbly and sandy beaches with crystal clear waters, Patmos will definitely reward with its beauty, those who will decide to spend their Yoga holiday there!
The Seminar
We will practice yoga from Tuesday morning to Saturday around midday. There will be two classes a day for about 1 ½ hours each, one in the morning and once in the early evening. The yoga classes will be held outdoors on a wonderful terrace with a superb view onto the sea.
Between our yoga classes you will have plenty of time to rest, to swim and to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of this special island. We can organize boat trips to private beaches, excursions to the Patmos monasteries and wellness treatments.
During the week we will focus on the essential aspects of the technique Ruchpaul. The seminar is open to students of all levels of experience. All that you need is a willingness to discover yourself and unfold in the beauty of nature!
How To Get There
Please make sure to arrive on Monday evening at the latest so that we can start our seminar on time.
The island has no airport so you have to come with flying dolphins, fast or regular ferries that leave from Athens, Kos or Samos. When you arrive on the island you will be greeted by one of our staff who will accompany you to your accommodation.
You can find direct flights to Athens, Kos and Samos from all major European cities. When you register for the seminar, you will get all details that you need to plan your trip.
Accommodation
The island offers accommodation of all price classes, and as the island is small wherever you choose to stay will be longer than 10 minutes away from the yoga location in the bay of Vagia. You can rent a studio, a room in a hotel or a private house, depending on your budget and the number of people you are traveling with.
Once you are on the island you can move around easily by bus or taxi or with a rented moped or car. Our partner travel agency can help you with booking your accommodation and also with flights and water transportation.
