PAXOS: THE ULTIMATE GREEK ISLAND RETREAT
The tiny Greek island of Paxos is the ideal location for
a yoga holiday and Paxos Life Activities is therefore
offering two holidays on the island in Summer 2011:
‘Yoga for Life’ and Kundalini Yoga.
The
tiny Greek
island
of Paxos provides a true haven of tranquillity for
anyone wanting to take some time out of the rat race and
simply relax. With its serene olive groves, white-washed
churches and deserted beaches, it offers the perfect
opportunity to tap into the peace and beauty of an
inspirational landscape, and is the ultimate destination
for a yoga holiday.
Specialist interest holiday operator, Paxos Life
Activities, is therefore offering two yoga holidays on
the island in Summer 2011 and is looking to extend the
number and range of yoga and well-being holidays it
offers in subsequent years. Both holidays are suitable
for everyone from beginners to the more experienced.
‘Yoga for Life’ (2 – 9 May 2011) will use yoga, combined
with a variety of other techniques, including life
coaching, therapeutic art, meditation and homeopathy, to
give those taking part more energy and self-confidence,
to improve their ability to make decisions, help them to
explore their creative powers, and live with more
purpose and joy. It will be led by Jane Montague, who, as
well as being a qualified yoga teacher, is also a
qualified homeopath, remedial masseuse, therapeutic art
counsellor and NLP practitioner. Jane regularly leads
meditation groups, and yoga and social art classes for
people of all ages and abilities in the South East of
England.
The ‘Late Summer Yoga Week’ (26 September –
3 October 2011) will provide the ideal opportunity to experience
Kundalini yoga, one of the less well known forms of
yoga. The techniques of
Kundalini yoga are profoundly transformational and work
more rapidly than any other form of yoga. Kundalini yoga
is also more holistic than other forms of yoga and
consists of several elements, all of which are brought
into every session. It can be described as a technology
for spiritual growth that provides the strength to
change and to expand one’s capacity for life. The
holiday will be led by Barbara Lyndley,
founder of SimplyB Yoga and a qualified member of the
Kundalini Yoga Teachers’ Association. Barbara teaches
classes and workshops in her native Staffordshire and
neighbouring counties.
Both holidays will be based around early morning and
some evening group sessions, leaving afternoons free to
explore the beautiful Paxos countryside or simply
relax.
Accommodation will be in shared villas with their own pools
and spacious terraces set in the shade and tranquillity
of the olive groves above the
village of Loggos, one of the three main villages on the
island.
And
what makes the yoga holidays offered by Paxos Life
Activities so special and different from the rest? Above
everything, it is the location. Paxos is a really
beautiful island that has
for the most part escaped the effects of mass
tourism and, with its friendly locals and unrushed pace
of life, gives visitors the opportunity to experience
Greece as it used to be and completely escape from the
rat race.
In addition to the yoga sessions, the company also
enables clients to experience village life and learn
something of the history of the island through the
optional programme of activities that it offer: cookery
demonstrations, talks about the olive and the vine,
historical walks and greek dancing lessons.
Finally, Paxos Life Activities is a small specialist
company offering a very high level of personal service
through a Director who has nearly 30 years experience in
the travel business and who is resident on the island
all year round.
A range of Creative Writing, Painting and Photography
holidays is also available, along with skippered and
bareboat Yacht Charter.
