Yoga Retreats

Live like an Ikarian! Just like some of the daily routines and habits of the oldest inhabitants of this amazing blue zone. Yoga is a great way to combine movement and stress relief, promoting mindfulness and grounding in the body. By practicing yoga, we can aim to reach the same state of well-being achieved by these cultures, which contrasts with our modern lifestyles filled with constant distractions and stress. The Blue Zones lifestyle principles can serve as a guide to better health and increased longevity. The first principle is to move naturally, as those with the longest lives incorporate more movement and activity into their daily routines. Another principle is to minimize stress and employ stress-relieving strategies. The third principle involves engaging in social circles that encourage healthy behaviors. If you've heard of the Blue Zones but haven't been sure how to get started, consider joining our one-week yoga retreat on the inspiring Blue Zone island of Ikaria, Greece where we will practice yoga, swim in the sea, eat a local plant -based diet, hike in mountains, and dance with the locals at their "Panagiria", traditional festivals.
