Hotel Al Mare

A small typical Greek Hotel – Al Mare is surrounded by dense vegetation, vast lawns, and it opens directly onto the beach, making it an excellent choice for a yoga retreat. This year, the hotel has been renovated, and all rooms are refurnished.

Accommodation includes vegetarian breakfast and dinner specially prepared for the group made carefully with local and fresh ingredients. One of the evenings we will even have the chance to enjoy freshly caught Greek fish. You can choose between twin and triple rooms and if you wish to purchase a single room the price will be higher (please contact us in order to let you know the details). Every room has a big terrace in which you can enjoy in your free time.

Yoga Practices

Yoga classes are designed to give you energy and relax you throughout the day. That’s why every morning we start with Ashtanga Vinyasa or Vinyasa Flow, which are energetic practices aimed at getting you moving and waking you up without needing your morning coffee. You’ll be facing the sea, listening to the waves, and surrounded by breathtaking nature—could there be anything more beautiful?

Afternoon yoga practices are intended to relax you deeply. Therefore, on the schedule, we have Yin practice, which deeply relaxes the fascia—the sheath of stringy connective tissue that surrounds every part of your body—for total relaxation of the physical body. We’ll also have guided meditation and sound therapy where we’ll work on the mental body, surrendering to the moment and remaining peaceful and deeply concentrated within ourselves. Pranayama techniques will help us calm the nervous system and learn how to control our breath properly so that we can use it when needed.

All asana practices will be led by both teachers to ensure that each participant receives adjustments, which are crucial in the practice. Through the touch of the teachers, we feel the asana and physically understand how to do it correctly—each adjustment is intended to help the student achieve a higher level of awareness in their yoga practice. The only task you will have is to surrender fully and immerse yourself in the flow.

Other Activities

During the retreat, one whole day will be spent at the most beautiful wild beach in Halkidiki, where the sun sets last, giving us the opportunity to witness its beauty until the very end. A picnic lunch, leisure, and relaxation are among the wonderful things this retreat offers. And let’s not forget the most important aspect—connecting with like-minded people, with beautiful yogis and souls whom we hope will remain friends even after the retreat ends. We’ll leave the workshop “See Your Freedom” as a surprise! We are certain you’ll truly enjoy it and discover many things for yourself and others.
