Corfu Yoga Retreat

Leave your everyday life behind you. Leave your everyday worries behind. Allow yourself to live on another plane of existence for a whole week. On this plane you have the time and space to go within in search of the source of calm and happiness. And all this on the paradise island of Corfu! In this yoga week we practice about 5 - 5.5 hours of yoga every day. At dawn we start the new day in peace with a meditation, kriya and pranayama practice. After that we flow into a dynamic asana practice. The focus is on the precise execution of the asanas so that body, mind and soul can focus on one point together as a team. This is how you create awareness; you restore your balance and find yourself! Get inspired!

Beautiful golden light, silvery-shimmering Olive groves, hidden beach coves with a turquoise-blue sea and long stretches of sandy beach - these are all perfect ingredients for a Yoga holiday away from the stresses and strains of daily life.

Your appartment is situated on a hill above the beautiful village of Arillas in North-West Corfu. The beach, cafés, bars and little shops are just a 10-minute walk away.

Every morning, after our yoga practice, we will enjoy a brunch made from fresh, local ingredients in the Café Akrotiri above the yoga room. From here we can enjoy a 360 degree view of the turquois blue sea below.

In the evening we walk down to the village to the Hotel Mythos where we have a delicious 3-course vegetarian dinner waiting for us. www.mythos-corfu.de

Between the yoga sessions there is time to relax on the beach, enjoy long walks to hidden coves or old mountain villages or a massage.

We will practice 5 – 5.5 hours a day. We begin our mornings in silence on the roof terrace of the yoga room. There we will practice meditation, kriya and pranayama. This is followed by a dynamic asana practice in the shade of the yoga room with emphasis on correct body alignment. The evening's practice is of a restorative nature with 2 hours of restorative/yin yoga in addition to mantra practice.

Claire has been teaching yoga for over 26 years. Her teaching style is clear, purposeful, humorous and engaging. Her focus is on correct functional alignment of the body in order for optimal breathing and flow of energy to take place. Each and every moment on or off the mat is an opportunity to live and breathe freely - it begins with conscious placement of the body, evening out imbalances and ultimately finding peace of mind! Claire adapts her classes to suit the needs of the participants and where necessary provides modifications of positions so that each participant is able to practice at her/his level of experience and deepen his/her experience.
