About the Workshop
In a time that brings with it pain, joy, sadness and sometimes also uncertainty, there is nothing like staying together in the company of women on a magical Greek island to renew energy, heal, and connect with yourself. Women’s yoga is designed to accompany women in their changing life journey. Each practice is adapted to the changing states of the body, mind and emotions, and provides an answer to the unique complexities of each stage of life. Whether you are experiencing a menstrual, personal change or the signs of menopause. Practicing with Mira will give you simple and accessible tools to improve the quality of your life and to deal with everyday challenges. Writing with Sagit will provide you with effective and liberating tools for personal expression in a variety of ways. It will connect you to the creative parts within you and allow you to experience yourself with connection and clarity. Avital will cook us healthy and delicious delicacies like the queen, and our production will take care of everything for you – without your need to plan, think or take responsibility for someone else.
For six days (5 nights) we will stay together in a private mansion in a small village on the island of Avia, where we will experience:
Healing and liberation in the company of women in a magical land.
Personalized female yoga – an inner journey to the body and mind.
Writing workshops – space for personal expression and introspection.
Moments of silence and connection – with yourself and with the surrounding nature.
We will eat healthy and fine food for a week from the hands of a wonderful chef.
Six days of comfort and relaxation
