A TYPICAL DAY
We start the day with some gentle ayurvedic cleansing practices followed by yoga and breath work (suitable for all levels). As the day unfolds we encourage our body to cleanse using the gifts of mother nature. These include freshly made raw organic juices (personalised for your dosha) cleansing drinks, warming broths and herbal supplements to support the bodies' journey.
There will be time for plenty of R&R in the beautiful spa area (heated pool and sauna), attend a workshop, take a walk in nature or simply get cosy by the fire with a good book.
The day will conclude with a warming broth followed by meditation, restorative yoga or a therapeutic sound bath.

THE YOGA
Each day we will be honouring the elements and dedicating the yoga to a particular dosha (Ayurvedic system for determining your unique constitution). By gaining an understanding of each dosha in this way, through a thought provoking practice you will gain valuable and useful insights into self care and a deeper understanding of both yourself and your loved ones. Each carefully prepared session will include asana, pranayama, visualisations and meditation to support the cleansing process, increase the digestive fire and facilitate a deeper level of rejuvenation. Props such as bolsters, blocks and belts will be used (and provided for you) when needed, along with soothing massage and aromatherapy to allow the body and mind to release and let go. The morning and/or evening sessions will be about an hour in length and will be suitable for everyone, even if you are very new to yoga.

What to packWear something comfortable that allows you to move freely and with ease. We want you to feel the connection of your bare feet on the earth, so you can leave your shoes at the door. Post practice: At the tail-end of the Summer and into the Autumn, the days are warm & balmy and evenings are still extremely comfortable. However we always recommend to pack a light jumper and trousers just in case. Normally we will send you a weather report a few days before hand. At times, Corfu may have a rain shower: we will move our practice indoors if this is the case. Other items: The usuals: suncream, insect repellant, Summer footwear, Walking/hiking shoes, Swimming stuff, prescribed medication. You will not need to pack beach towels (all included).
