Laura describes her moment of clarity , “ Over the years , I have particularly enjoyed practicing out in the elements and regularly found myself on holiday , rolling out my mat under blue skies , overlooking crystal clear waters sparkling in the Mediterranean sunshine . On one such trip 3 years ago in Mykonos , whilst taking in the panoramic views , the scents and magic of the island from the peace of my yoga mat , the idea of Yoga Escapes was born .”
There are three beautiful destinations you can head to , Mykonos in Greece , El Gouna in Eygpt and Sicily in Italy , which makes deciding which one incredibly difficult but who says you cannot go to all three !
Yes this is a yoga holiday but emphasis is put on the word holiday , hence the selection of some truly stunning destinations . With small groups , and half are usually travelling alone , from all over the world you could find yourself wandering through the olive groves of Sicily contemplating your future , standing in awe of the pyramids or , if you are as crazy as I am , singing your heart out in Greece reliving Mamma Mia , and what is stopping you . Life is as fun as you want it to be . All three of these wonderful locations on this beautiful planet offer something a little different and you will probably be drawn to the location you need right now in your life .
You will enjoy great food , wonderful wine , great company and 5 star accommodations throughout your stay . Accommodation for all yoga retreats include a private beach , luxury spa , sea view rooms , full American buffet breakfast , and top service .
Classes are suitable for all levels from beginners to experienced students , and classes are tailored accordingly . You can enjoy two daily yoga classes : a 1.5-hour class in the morning and a 1-hour class in the evening . The morning yoga classes are active and invigorating , with modifications to allow more advanced people to challenge themselves and beginners to practice at their own pace . Evening classes are more restorative , holding poses longer to allow for a deeper stretch , ending with a longer meditation .
All the yoga teachers have many years of experience with all yoga levels and teach a balanced mix of yoga styles , bringing in elements of Vinyasa , Ashtanga , Iyengar , and restorative yoga , focusing on breath-movement alignment , and modifying each class to allow for all levels . Holly is the head teacher at the Yoga London teacher training school and currently teaches in several high-end yoga studios in London . Sarah teaches at The Third Space in London , as well as small groups and one-to-one sessions in London and the South of France . You can read more about them Here
In your free time you are spoilt for choice , obviously each destination has its own selection of activities but all offer that golden time of just walking through the surf , or chilling on the beach with that pile of books you keep buying but never have the time to read . You could take a daytrip to a nearby island , relax with a soothing massage , try jet skiing , golfing , or diving , treat yourself to high-end shopping , enjoy a desert safari excursion , or maybe you could get yourself a journal and start penning all the things you would like to do as you move forward , you will be surprised at how much you write once you get going and being away from all the noise and daily stresses of life you will be surprised at what has been tucked away and filed in that busy mind you have . This could be your moment of clarity .
