Hatha Flow Yoga Holiday
Join us at YogaOnCrete and experience the lightness of body and spirit and joy of honouring and nurturing the needs of your body, mind and spirit through the practice of yoga, daily encounters with the cool, turquoise Mediterranean waters at quiet beaches, idyllic unspoilt surroundings, and wholesome local food, excursions, a warm and welcoming group of people and much more!
During this course, the awareness and presence that are cultivated in Hatha Yoga and dynamic experimentation with movement and breath will be explored. The slow and consistent progression of breathing techniques and postures, in the flow-based Hatha Yoga classes, allows one to open up, while mindful, spontaneous movement is also often used as a tool towards inner balance.
Each yoga class build upon the next, in a slow and consistent progression that allows opening up and experiencing. No previous experience in yoga is required for participation in the course.
