Koufonisia – a place like paradise – where it all began. On this island my husband and partner in life proposed.
In this Yoga Retreat in Koufonisia we plan to relax, lay on the sandy beaches, swim in the emerald-green waters, forget everything that we “must” do and do what we “want” to do. We will lay under the hot sun, have the countless stars in the sky at night keep us company and get lost in our thoughts under the moonlit sky.
In those 4 days we will experience the perfect Greek summer, with its white-blue houses, cobbled streets and beautiful sea and beaches. An island so elegant and beautiful, yet simple and traditional, with no cars, beach chairs, and the local fishermen and farmers being there, subtly in the background, going about their day as if we were in a film.
The practices we shared were thematic, and focused on strengthening our self-confidence and make us feel secure.
Everyone and everything become part of a group.
Everything you seek is right there. You can stroll around the island or take a relaxing bicycle ride, right by the sea.
In Koufonisia the space and time dimensions have their own meaning.
You won’t need watch, that’s for sure. If you have one, just throw it in your suitcase and forget all about it.
And remember.
We never give up our dreams! Dreams are food for the soul! Regardless how many times we have to taste bitter moments, and watch our hopes and dreams drift away, we persevere and keep on dreaming.
Between the morning and evening class right under the sun setting, we had the opportunity to visit the emerald green waters of Italida, Pori and walk around Chora. We also had the chance to take a one-day private cruise, just for our team, and explore all the remote and isolated beaches in Kato Koufonisia, Iraklia and also visit Schinousa for a swim and some good food. Along us we could see the dolphins swimming and jumping out of the water along the shoreline of Lesser Cyclades.
