Teachers

We take great care with the selection of our course teachers. It is important to us that they are caring and friendly in their approach as they are so important to the focus of your holiday. Many have been with us for several years and are very experienced at delivering a wonderful time to suit all participants.

All one week summer holiday courses are £440 at Astrikas and £480 at other venues unless stated otherwise

Our Yoga holiday prices for Astrikas include tuition, accommodation, big breakfasts/brunch, snack lunches each day, five evening meals and two countryside guided walks. Airport transfers are not included for Astrikas holidays, Jilly at Free Spirit will help you by teaming people up for taxis.
At all other venues holiday prices include tuition, accommodation in comfortable en-suite rooms and taxi transfer from Chania Airport. For food there's brunch each day after morning yoga and we host one evening dinner during the week – sometimes an Indian banquet. Two guided walks are included.

Venues

We offer yoga at 4 venues, so you can find the right setting for your holiday. By using local facilities we are supporting the local economy in an area where farming is still the main occupation. Astrikas is slightly inland with a great swimming pool and large airy yoga spaces including a new outdoor space. Peli Hotel in Kastelli is a friendly family run hotel close to the beach. Mithimna Beach is a rural beach location where accommodation and function space overlook the quiet bay. The Olive Mill is in an idyllic rural setting for small courses needing that intimate peaceful feel, we combine this with Mithimna Beach for the best of beach and retreat.

Accommodation

At all venues the rooms are en suite, with balconies, and gardens. You can make your own hot drinks, either with communal or private facilities and all have fridges either in your room or nearby. We have carefully chosen accommodation over a period of years for their friendliness and suitability for holidays so at any venue the level of retreat feeling can be your choice.

food and special dietsFood and Special Diets

All food is vegetarian, either home made or local specialities. Juliet is often asked for recipes! Special diets are provided for at the same standard of quality and variety. If you want, we'll give you Greek words to help you make choices in tavernas.

At Astrikas Retreats we include big breakfast/brunch each day after yoga, snacks all day and five evening meals.

At all other venues we include big breakfasts/brunch each day after yoga and one dinner in the evening - sometimes an Indian banquet.
