Yoga & Music Retreat – Autumn Reboot 2019
We invite you to Neda Yoga Shala's autumn retreat to Peloponnese, where we will be delighted to blend the practice of yoga with music. This year, we will travel to the wonderful Re-Green, a magical eco-cultural center in Achaia, dedicated to harmonious coexistence with nature, a truly ideal place to inspire and mark the reboot after summer.
The excursion will start on Thursday 26 September and will end on Sunday 29 September.
The practice will be led by Anastasia Biliri. We will once again have with us the amazing musician Glafkos Smarianakis who will accompany the lessons with his violin, lute and his wonderful voice, and will take us on a journey through a continuous improvisation to melodies of Western and Eastern traditions.
The workshop will include several hours of lessons with the necessary rest. Dynamic and gentle/yin asanas, breathing practices, mantra recitation, kirtan, aphonia, meditations and yoga nidra. All of these will be our tools in a three-day inner journey, where we take advantage of the introspection inspired by this peaceful place and the arrival of autumn to quiet ourselves, set new goals (or free ourselves from old ones) and with humility, purity and enthusiasm approach our Self.
The meals in Re-green's kitchen are all organic, local and seasonal and are mainly sourced from the estate's garden or from local organic sources and producers.
Come and share this special 3-day event! Music and yoga may have the same purpose. To create a powerful change in one's state of mind. Something magical happens when, with subtlety and sensitivity, these two come together.
Students of all levels are welcome. Some practices will be more forceful, but always with an emphasis on the respect that each person must give to their limitations and any injuries. Participation in the classes is optional.
