Iyengar Yoga Retreat in Greece with Janet MacLeod

Iyengar Yoga Retreat in Greece with Janet MacLeod

Although Yoga can be practiced anywhere, the environment can certainly have an effect. Join me for the retreat of a lifetime on the peaceful island of Paros, a perfectly positive place!

Attending this Yoga Retreat is a wonderful gift you can give to yourself.

Spending a week in a peaceful environment by the sea, relax with the sound of the waves while being uplifted by sunshine and blue skies. Enjoying healthy meals and practicing yoga daily.

Iyengar Yoga is well known for its therapeutic applications and alternative asanas will be offered as necessary.

Often after doing yoga daily for one week, students continue this practice after they return home. Those already doing yoga daily, will find that their practice is deeper.

SCHEDULE

The morning yoga sessions will be more dynamic and there will be a class each day – Monday to Saturday.

The afternoon class will emphasize restorative asanas and pranayama.

There will be two afternoons off – Wednesday and Friday giving you some time to explore the island after lunch.

She teaches ongoing classes at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco (IYISF) and is also an assessor for the National Certification Committee. This provides her with a deep understanding of Iyengar Yoga.

Born on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, Janet has travelled to many parts of the world offering workshops and retreats. She has also taught at the Yoga Journal conference in San Francisco.

Her style of teaching is faithful to the ancient tradition of yoga, but is infused with love and light. Janet believes in sharing the joy that she has found in yoga with all who come in contact with her. This along with the technical skills she has accumulated over many years of personal practice, study and teaching make her a much sought after teacher wherever she goes.
