About organizer

Catherine qualified as an Iyengar yoga teacher in 1998 and has been teaching general (mixed ability) classes in north London ever since. She brings the Iyengar principles of connection, alignment, extension and balance to her teaching. She focuses on understanding stability and mobility, based on yoga philosophy. She has made 8 visits to Pune to study with the Iyengar family. She is also a lover of cooking and an avid entertainer.

Introduction

We will have 10 Iyengar yoga classes over 6 days with a day free to independently explore or restore yourself. There will be a morning asana class and a quieter evening session most days, each starting with a short discussion on yoga philosophy to underpin the class. Catherine teaches to ensure full understanding of how to extend the spine and stabilise the body to help stimulate your immune system and general well-being.

Program

There will be a yoga class from 8-10:00 most mornings, followed by an buffet breakfast, and an evening yoga class 5:30-7:00 followed by dinner.
The time in between is entirely yours to relax at the hotel or explore the island hiking, travelling by donkey or by boat or visiting the historic Chora (old town). There is ample time to explore the splendid beaches around the island or to visit some of the historic archeological sites or museum.
I hope to one day do a group hiking trip to the historic Panagia Hozoviotissa monastery.
