Amorgos Island
“For many island lovers, Amorgos (ah-mor-ghoss) is the jewel in the Cycladic crown. Lying well to the southeast of the main group, this exquisite island rises from the sea in a long dragon’s back of craggy mountains that is 30km from tip to toe and 800m at its highest point … There’s plenty of scope for beaching, but Amorgos is much more about compelling archaeology, Cycladic life and the outdoor world …”

There will be a well spaced timetable allowing for deep immersion in the mornings with asana, pranayama and meditation before breakfast. The Beautiful surroundings entwined with the daily yoga practice will encourage the softening and release of the tension and stress of the mind and body complex and guide you towards your essential nature (Adhi).
