Anafi remains a pure island, still untouched by mass tourism
with one small traditional village and amazing trekking trails
leading to the most beautiful unexplored beaches.
The clear landscape and the endless view of the horizon
offer the ideal environment for our retreat.
For the few days that we will share on this beautiful island
our practice will include a combination of yoga classes and
meditations inspired by the mindfulness practices of Buddhist teachings for cultivating inner peace and presence.
Our days will start on a quiet spot on the beach with simple meditation and pranayama techniques, followed by exercises inspired from QiGong and Tai Chi Chuan, in order to restore and balance our vital energy.
After a wholesome breakfast, we will be ready to make the best of each day on the island. We can swim in the crystal clear water, explore the island or just lay on the beach with a book or with good company. In the afternoons we will meet on the beautiful terrace overlooking the sea, to enjoy our yoga practice during the sunset.
The purpose of the retreat is to engage in all of the above activities… with mindfulness!
Mindfulness is knowing what you are experiencing, while you are experiencing it. It is the total awareness of the moment, simply being in the now, with a sense of freedom, of perspective, of being connected.
“To understand the immeasurable, the mind must be extraordinarily quiet, still”
Jiddu Krishnamurti
