One of the greatest needs of a human being is to connect with Nature. In the presence of a natural environment, away from the frantic rhythms of city life, individuals can experience profound transformation and reconnection with their true selves. Our Yoga & Zen Retreats are hosted in Kaisanji, located in the Kalo Ambeli region of Serifos, on the island's unspoiled south side. This area remains untouched by mass tourism and large hotels, providing an ideal setting for renewal on all levels.

Yoga Nidra session at Zen Center Athens
Yoga Nidra, or "yogic sleep," is a profoundly relaxing and transformative practice that invites us to journey between wakefulness and sleep. Originating from the ancient teachings of yoga, this guided meditation technique systematically induces a state of conscious relaxation, promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
During a Yoga Nidra session, you are guided in a way that helps you release tension, calm the mind, and tap into your inner resources for healing and self-discovery. The practice involves focusing your awareness on different areas of the body, observing your breath, and engaging in visualizations or imagery exercises.
One of the unique aspects of Yoga Nidra is the setting of a "Sankalpa" or intention. This positive affirmation or resolution is brought to mind during the practice, taking advantage of the deep state of relaxation to imprint it in the subconscious mind.
Regular practice of Yoga Nidra can lead to numerous benefits, including stress reduction, improved sleep, enhanced creativity and focus, emotional healing, and spiritual growth. By embracing the transformative power of this practice, you can embark on a journey of profound relaxation, self-discovery, and personal growth, unlocking the innate wisdom and healing potential within.
Antar Mouna Meditation practice at Zen Center Athens
Antar Mouna, or "Inner Silence" is a powerful meditation technique developed by Swami Satyananda Saraswati, our guru and renowned yoga master and author and is a practice that is a core component of the Satyananda Yoga system.
The essence of Antar Mouna lies in its ability to guide practitioners towards a state of profound inner silence and self-awareness. By systematically observing and witnessing one's thoughts, emotions, and sensations without judgment or attachment, Antar Mouna helps to cultivate a deep understanding of the nature of the mind and its patterns. This process of observation and detachment leads to a greater sense of clarity, emotional balance, and inner peace.
Through regular practice, Antar Mouna can help individuals reduce stress, enhance focus and cognitive control, and develop a heightened awareness of their present-moment experience. As a foundational technique, Antar Mouna serves as a stepping stone for more advanced meditation practices, ultimately guiding practitioners towards a profound realization of their true nature and the interconnectedness of all things.
