Introduction

Join Shannyn and Nancy for two classes daily (Tuesday to Sunday). In the morning, optional meditation is followed by asana, and in the afternoon, we’ll guide you through restorative sessions that include pranayama. With two teachers watching and helping you in each class, you will progress and learn ways to deepen your practice. Whatever your goals are for the retreat, we want to help you achieve them. Participants must have at least one year of Iyengar Yoga experience or receive permission to attend.

Program

We recommend that you fly into Athens or Santorini a day or two in advance of the retreat. Book a ferry to Amorgos to arrive Monday May 3. We'll meet at the resort for a welcome dinner. From Tuesday to Sunday we will begin each day with optional meditation followed by an active asana class, then enjoy a generous breakfast buffet. Midday is yours to fill as you choose: relax by the pool, enjoy the spa services, and explore the island through guided tours or on your own. Afternoon yoga is restorative with pranayama. A buffet dinner is provided each evening. Music and dancing may be included!
