WEEK II  27 MAY – 31 MAY 2023

WEEK III  22 – 26 JULY 2023

Join us for magical early summer retreats in Patmos island, Dodecanese.

Escape from the hectic of daily life, recreate body and mind while feeling free on the amazing island of Patmos.

Patmos is one of the most beautiful islands of the Dodecanese, a group of twelve islands stretching along the south eastern 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

There will be two classes offered a day, for about 1 ½ hour each. With energizing morning sessions, we will connect to the day spirit. In the early evenings, we will be enjoying the tranquility of contemplative practice.

Our yoga classes will be held outdoors at Grikos Bay. In this earthly paradise, meditative walks will highlight our experience and enrich the process of rejuvenation and well-being. Without a doubt, a retreat in such a nurturing environment is a unique gift, an offering to ourselves!

Between our yoga practice there will be plenty of time to rest, swim and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Patmos island. Upon request, we can organize excursions to Patmos monasteries and churches as well as revitalizing wellness treatments.

During the retreat we will be focusing on the essential aspects of the technique Ruchpaul. The seminars are open to students of all levels of experience.
All that you need is the willingness to surprise yourself and unfold into the beauty of a well-tempered practice!
