Join us to beautiful Kárpathos in Greece when the autumn breeze starts to show in Norway!
We are staying at Kathys Island which is a beautiful retreat place on the west coast of Kárpathos. It is located in a quiet and beautiful area of the island between mountains and sea – with a beautiful view of the sea.
The holiday is added to the autumn holiday, and there are direct flights to Kárpathos with Apollo (last week they fly for the season)
We are picked up at the airport and driven directly to the retreat place which is about 25 minutes from the airport.
The location offers great opportunities for both hiking, swimming and other activities.
In the evening you go to bed to the sound of the waves and in the morning you wake up to the chirping of birds and a lovely temperature.
I am looking forward to teaching and practicing in the beautiful outdoor shala!
There is something special about being able to do yoga outside – with a view of the mountains and the sea in early October 😀
There will be a lovely and long Vinyasa session every morning.
With a focus on breathing and bandha, we will be able to clear out blockages and gain increased energy, strength and endurance – as well as flexibility. It is needed before winter sets in in Norway!
Calming Restorative yoga with Backmitra in the afternoons will help us release tension and blockages in the chest-back, shoulders, neck, arms and back, as well as train supporting muscles. These two methods will together raise awareness of movement patterns we have acquired throughout life, and can help us improve our posture in all layers of the body and make us stronger, more flexible and more present in movement and stillness. We will experience more space, more acceptance, and increased well-being in ourselves.
Kathys Island has a strong focus on a healthy lifestyle, where nothing is fried, but the food is made in the oven or served fresh.
As far as possible, vegetables from the own, organic vegetable garden or other locally sourced food are used. The menu consists of a wide selection of both vegetarian food, vegan dishes and meat/fish dishes occasionally.
If someone has intolerances or allergies, they do their utmost to satisfy these needs.
The buildings are surrounded by nature, no matter where you look. The garden includes a wide variety of fruit trees, fir trees, shrubs and flowers. The mountain is right behind the main building, and the sea is only 50 meters away from the retreat.
There are two beautiful beaches within walking distance of the retreat. There are several hammocks around the property for those who want to relax in the shade of the beautiful pine trees. There are also several seating areas around so that you can be completely alone if you wish. A beautiful and warm lighting in the trees in the evening makes the atmosphere beautiful. and romantic. The yoga shala/terrace is located in front of the main building, overlooking the sea.
Kathys Island arranges excursions to various interesting and historical villages for sightseeing and shopping if desired. (locally produced olive oils / honey / soaps / salts etc.). They also arrange trips to beautiful beaches, which are further away than “our own” beach. Autumn is also a great time for hiking! Not too hot, but still pleasantly warm temperatures. There are several good hiking opportunities right next to the retreat. The place offers various massage treatments (including aromatherapy, full body massage and foot reflexology). The treatments take place in a secluded part of the garden, under the shade of the large pine trees. A magical experience! They also have healing treatments etc.
