Details of this retreat
Nourish your mind, body, and soul by practicing the ancient art of yoga while sailing the idyllic waters of the Mediterranean.
You could find yourself on a secluded beach or moored in the crystal waters of a quaint harbor.
Yoga is traditionally known for its ability to heal, refresh, strengthen, and enlighten, and during your morning practice, you can set yourself on the path towards living your best life, day by day.
During this retreat, Laura, our dedicated and knowledgeable yoga instructor will combine several aspects of yoga such as meditation, pranayama, asanas, mantras, and deep relaxation for your ultimate experience.
After each morning yoga session, a special breakfast is prepared that will detox your body and boost your energy levels.
Then begins the sailing adventure, which includes finding the perfect spot for an afternoon swim and partaking in a relaxed lunch while soaking up the view.
Before lunch, we will come together on the bow of the boat in a beautiful bay for a breathwork session. Taking precious time to tune in with our life force energy, feeling the connection between breath and body.
By practicing different pranayama (breath work) exercises every day you will learn how to use the breath to anchor yourself to the present moment, realize any stress or negative toxins, and make the breath the reset that we sometimes need.
Laura creates her classes tailored to everyone from beginners to advanced practitioners of yoga. Before joining, she will be in touch with you to discuss your hopes and requirements for your journey, both physical and spiritual.
This retreat is a combination of connecting with nature through the ocean and the freedom which sailing brings, by using the elements to travel to secluded bays and beautiful islands.
With this vast connection with nature, we will go deeper into the self through yoga, breathwork, and stillness all whilst taking in the beautiful views and hearing the sound of the energy of the ocean move beyond you.
