Energy in motion Yin & Yoga Nidra retreat with Kristen Sprague

Energy in motion Yin & Yoga Nidra retreat with Kristen Sprague

Enjoy a 6 days Yin yoga & Yoga Nidra at Paros island.

Yin Yoga is the practice of engaging with the gentler Yin energy. Yin energy is the feeling you get while in a spa – deep softness, relaxation, opening, groundedness, and release. With the incorporation of breath work and meditation, the physical practice of Yin will leave you feeling melted and relaxed in a post massage or acupuncture kind of way. A regular practice of Yin Yoga keeps the joints strong and healthy, the body flexible and open, and the mind calm and centered. We are so excited to offer this practice to you every evening of our retreat, followed by journaling and reflection. Yin Yoga has the potential to bring us into a state in which deep reflection, intuition, awareness, and creativity may flourish.
Yoga Nidra, or “yogic sleep,” is a unique and ancient form of restorative meditation that helps us to learn new ways of connecting with our true self. It allows us to get in touch with our deepest callings and highest potential, leading us to feel more awake and more abundant in life. Yoga Nidra has become a huge focal point as an effective mind-body therapy for several common disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, addiction, hypertension, and diabetes.

ABOUT PAROS ISLAND
Paros sits in the heart of the Aegean sea and belongs to Cyclades, the most popular Greek island group. Being close to famous Cyclades islands, such as Mykonos, Santorini and Naxos, Paros Greece offers the perfect chance for island hopping!
Combining modern with traditional elements in the most unique way, Paros is a mix of traditional Cycladic architecture, vivid nightlife, magical Paros beaches, enchanting rural villages, and historical monuments. Whether you’re after a relaxing holiday or you are more of a thrill seeker, Paros island Greece will give you exactly what you want!
Are you a water sports enthusiast? Then, you won’t be able to peel yourself away from Paros beaches, which are perfect for water adventures thanks to the island’s ideal wind conditions. On a break from the beach life, you will get lost in the narrow alleys of Parikia and Naoussa, the island’s most popular villages. Or, if you seek serenity, you’ll get lost in the isolated villages of Paros…
