Practicing yoga is not only action, movement and development of physical abilities, but also and above all learning to inhabit one's own inner space.
From here we can observe the world from different angles and interpret the actions and gestures of everyday life with a different value. Practicing yoga brings us to the union of our normally disintegrated parts and represents a different form of resistance to the decadence that we are witnessing in this historical moment.
A traditional Greek tavern and small hotel : the yoga and study center of energy and healing practices Holismos overlooks the Gulf of Kalloni and is immersed in a natural context of exceptional beauty. Here, we will live a retreat of several days during which we will take yoga classes, guided meditations and percussion workshops among local food cooked in the center and comfortable accommodation in double or single rooms.
With the sea just a few meters away , the structure is completely isolated. Its position, the natural context in which it is located, the peace , the silence and the strength of the elements make this place the ideal place to immerse yourself totally in the study and practice of the various disciplines , in a yoga retreat that allows you to leave behind all the physical and emotional burden that normally crowds our existences.
