Yoga:
Our yoga teacher Shivalila will lead our yoga sessions based on the essentials of hatha yoga, practicing several asanas (yoga postures) for basic & advanced levels. We will engage in a profound pranayama (breathing technique), an amazing tool to find balance and harmony. Finally, we will have a deep relaxation called yoga nidra, a state of consciousness to get in touch with our inner selves.
Meditation out in the woods:
After lunch we’ll go out on a short hike in the woods, within the boundaries of the nautical club. During our hike, we’ll engage in a guided walking meditation session in a pathway surrounded by the beautiful nature.
Enjoy a revitalizing steam bath
The best way to end a meaningful day is by enjoying a hot and healthy steam bath (also known as hammam in Turkey). Steam baths have been used for centuries as cleansing and relaxation techniques. This is an optional block of our day session for those who are in the mood. Clean towels will be provided
