Yoga & Detox Retreat, Autumn Reboot- Returning Home

We invite you to the beautiful and picturesque island of Spetses during the 3 days 22-25 September for the autumn retreat of Neda Yoga Shala. The retreat will be hosted just before the first new Moon of the season, the perfect time for a total reboot.

During the summer many of us stop practicing, sleep and eat haphazardly, spend energy on scheduling, moving and changing... This results in potentially filling up batteries, but also disorganizing, losing vital rhythms and deeper connection with ourselves, so all the energy we built up through the holidays is not properly channeled into the fall.

The reason for this retreat is to quiet down, detoxify body and mind, move, breathe and feel, so that we can smoothly and gently return to our ultimate home, our Self.

Dynamic and gentle asanas, meditations, breathing exercises, mantras, kirtan, detoxifying diet, proper sleep, contact with nature, aphonia... With all these tools we hope that the start of the new year will be made from a healthier and more conscious starting point and that the energy of the moon will meet this intention and overload it.

The practice will be led by Anastasia Biliri. With us we will have Konstantina Psimoulis who will take care of the nutrition part, with a 4-day detox plan based on vegetables and fruits in season, juices and intermittent fasting. Students of all levels are welcome. Some practices will be more vigorous, but always with an emphasis on respecting each individual's limitations and any injuries. Participation in the classes is optional.
