ASHTANGA YOGA SADHANA & NATURE IMMERSION
15th - 28th July
Samothrace island, Greece
This is an invitation to gather together and share our love for yoga practice, nature, inner and outer exploration. We ignite our Yoga by exploring different modalities that bring us closer to who we are, invoking our true and authentic nature while being immersed into the waters and energy of this unique island.
We begin early in the morning with pranayama, meditation followed by our asana practice. After we spend our days resting by the waterfalls, exploring different paths and immersing ourselves into nature.
