Discover the Magic of Amorgos and Awaken Your Inner Goddess/God
Join us on an extraordinary journey to the mythical island of Amorgos, where you can live like a Greek God or Goddess, surrounded by the enchanting beauty of the Aegean Sea. Our Amorgos Yoga Retreat, taking place from September 15th to September 24th, 2024, is a transformative adventure curated with meticulous care by Shelley Carroll, the visionary behind Dancing Dogs Yoga. Immerse yourself in the world of yoga, meditation, and spa days while savoring the delectable culinary delights and vibrant culture of Greece. As you embark on this enchanting adventure, you'll also uncover the profound connection between Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, and the mesmerizing island of Amorgos.
A Retreat for Body, Mind, and Soul
Our retreat is a sanctuary for all who seek holistic wellness. Each day unfolds with invigorating yoga and meditation sessions set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Greek Isles. From vinyasa flows to serene yoga nidra, our classes are designed to cater to practitioners of all levels, ensuring that each day begins with a revitalizing practice.
But there's more to this retreat than just yoga. Our home for the journey is the exquisite Aegialis Hotel & Spa, renowned as one of the top Yoga Hotels in Greece by CNN. This haven is dedicated to nurturing your spirit and body, offering spa days filled with tranquility and transformation, all framed by the hypnotic blue waters of the Aegean Sea.
The Mythical Connection: Artemis and Amorgos
Amorgos holds a unique allure, rooted in its mythical history. Legend has it that it was on this island that Ulysses, on his return to Ithaki, was irresistibly drawn by the magnetic allure of Goddess Kirki, spending years under her captivating spell. This magnetic charm endures, drawing wellness and yoga enthusiasts much like the goddess Artemis, protector of the wilderness and the hunt. Amorgos is imbued with the energy of rejuvenation, thanks to an abundance of therapeutic herbs and a revitalizing aura, making it the perfect sanctuary for spiritual and physical renewal.
Float On! Boat Tour: Dive into Aegean Bliss
In addition to your daily yoga and meditation practice, we invite you to explore the crystalline waters of the Aegean Sea through our "Amorgos Tender-Boat Adventure." This thrilling group activity spans approximately 4 hours and is perfect for those with a deep love for the sea. The journey begins with a visit to the serene beaches of Nikouria, offering a taste of serenity far from the island's bustling shores.
From there, you'll board the tender-boat, embarking on a voyage to a hidden beach, a gem tucked away from the island's hustle and bustle. Here, you can bask in the warmth of the Greek sun, unwind on sunbeds, and savor the tranquil ambiance. Throughout the adventure, the tender-boats remain at your service, providing opportunities for snorkeling in the mesmerizing underwater world or simply floating on the tranquil sea. Worried about steering the boat? Worry not, as guidance is provided, with the captain accompanying you at all times. We provide towels, sunbeds, shade kiosks, snorkeling equipment, and even the chance to learn to drive the tender-boat or opt for an exhilarating ride through big waves. Lunch and beverages are included, ensuring a truly immersive experience.
