The teacher on this retreat is Laura McDonald.  Laura has been practising yoga since 2005. Her first introduction to yoga was Bikram yoga, she loved the feeling of practising in a hot room straight away and quickly became a regular and dedicated practitioner. In 2009 she trained to become a teacher at Bikram’s Yoga College of India in Palm Desert, California, and has been teaching full time ever since. In 2016 she discovered Yin Yoga and travelled to Vancouver, Canada to study with Bernie Clark. This training fundamentally changed her view on both teaching and practising yoga. She was introduced to the idea of skeletal variation and how this affects the ability to do certain poses. She has since completed a further two Yin Yoga trainings with Jo Phee, and this now forms the basis of her teaching practice. Laura prides herself on teaching yoga for every body, helping everyone to enjoy the benefits of a yoga practice. She teaches passionately and compassionately and loves to share her passion with others. 

All rooms have sea views and air-conditioning. You can choose to share a room with a friend or another solo traveller, or alternatively you can also book a room for single occupancy (see below for details). Facilities on the property include a beautiful infinity swimming pool where you can relax and enjoy the swimming (and the views), and a private diving platform into the crystal-clear Aegean sea. There is a secluded beach right next to the property and a stunning coastal path leading in both directions, perfect for walking and exploring the neighbouring coves and villages. In the village you will find two tavernas and a beach bar in case you want to sample the local delicacies independently. 

The price includes three delicious vegetarian meals a day with wine served at dinner (optional), except for one night out at the local taverna - allow approx 25 euros (not included in the price).
