Your Course
We are pleased to be offering our 200 hour Yoga Alliance Internationally accredited teacher training programs in Kythira, Greece. Kythira was chosen as the site of our immersion as it has long been an island of pilgrimages. Teacher training in a sense is a pilgrimage, a journey into the self that enables you to come back into the world with greater strength, clarity, patience and a deeper sense of peace.
In ancient times, Kythira was the foremost place of worship of the goddess Aphrodite, goddess of spiritual and romantic love. In more modern times, pilgrims journey to the Monastery at Myrtidia. This monastery was built in honour of the “Madonna of the Myrtle bushes” to whom many miracles have been attributed. Others pilgrimage to Kithira’s stunning coastline to simply meditate on the beauty of the sea and swim in its cleansing waters.
Coming to Kythira is an opportunity to leave the modern world behind and slow time down. It is an island of great natural, rugged beauty and an ideal destination for your pilgrimage into the world of yoga.
During your stay on Kythira you will be living in a picturesque fishing village, amongst locals. Experience the simplicity of village life free of the distractions of the modern world.
