8 Day Yoga and Self-Reflection Holiday in Magical Paleros

Yoga Weeks in Paleros from 15/05 to 15/09/2023

Foodpath Center invites you to learn the art of letting go. During this holiday, you will practice Hatha yoga as the main yoga practice for the body. You will also meditate with different pranayamas and self-reflection tools. In addition, learn and utilize heart circles, free flow movements, and Japa meditations and visualizations to help you see under the first layers of your consciousness. Along with the practice, you will also have time to go to the beach and enjoy magical Paleros!

Program Details

In this program, you can feel free and go with the flow with what your body needs. The art of letting go comes also through the understanding of your behaviors and your own patterns and wisely we are going to reflect on those together. The first step determinates your path and your job is already done by booking these days in Paleros for your Self.
On the day of your arrival there will be a welcome dinner to meet the yoga instructor/s and the people that will support you during your stay. Next morning you start the day with warm lemon water blessed with love and intention, moving slowly, and breathing into the body. Afterward, you will be prepared for your Hatha class. Each day you will go deeper and deeper into the asanas and the structure of the formula.
You will have brunch at 11 a.m. for an hour. Then you will have free time until 5 p.m. for the beach, reflection, or join one of the activities that you can decide according to the group’s needs.
From 5 to 8 p.m you will have group activities and a meeting around the social circle, a workshop on pranayama, a yoga Hatha class, alignment class, meditation, or yoga Nidra. In our Foodpath Centers we love to be spontaneous and feel the people. That is why we prefer to have a group of people that is open to receive! Your dinner will be served around 20:00pm.

Accomodation

Foodpath paleros guesthouse and cafe is built around 4 major concepts: Food, Spirit, Art, and Nature which help promote its mission. The yoga guest house is a family house located inside the village of Paleros in a nice neighborhood not far from the shops and the sea, only 4 minutes walk.
We have 4 rooms with balconies facing southwest with a view of the sea and the natural surroundings, each of these rooms have 4 single beds with a cozy bathroom, mosquito net for the summer, a small fridge, air-conditioning and an extra infrared heater panel for colder seasons – ideal for people that want to share, friends and family.
Downstairs in the garden, we have 2 or 3 rooms available that can be singles or doubles and in some cases, an extra bed can make them a triple, if needed.
All of them are cozy and warmly decorated, the garden has a well, loads of flowers, and an extra patio for some outdoor space to share and connect.
We clean the rooms daily to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
The larger yoga platform that we offer is 20 minutes walk from the house, a place to disconnect from the noise and enjoy the view, the silence, and the practice. This deck is more suitable for the summer season until, most probably, the end of October. The deck, that is located above the beach, represents a private spot for you to discconect with only a few people during the month of August.
For an early-morning practice, on hot days, or colder evenings, we have made an indoor studio that can provide a secure feeling in a more secluded environment and deepen the connection of the class, towards yourself and the rest of the participants.
In the house, you will definitely feel at home and supported spiritually as we have been practicing and been evolving with heartfelt techniques and teachings for more than 15 years.

Organise

In the Foodpath Centre the word Retreat can be truly embodied. It is an ideal place for the soul to calm, escape for a little while from the busy outside world and look within.

During the year, in spring and in fall, we hold two long periods dedicated to Vipassana meditation where the Centre remains silent.

During the fall, we also hold a two week long retreat of Kriya Yoga.

Activities take place on our yoga deck under the shade of the trees or in the indoor meditation hall.

The Centre is equipped with a big dining common area, working tables, and all modern conference amenities (projector, screen, P.A, printer etc).

Host & Manage

Looking for an ideal place to host a retreat? Come to the Foodpath Centre and let us do the magic. We don’t just host your retreat but are here to help you with all its small details.

Our experience throughout the years has made us realise the need for an efficient retreat management, so that participants benefit the most.

We work side by side with the teacher and go through all the administrative and practical tasks before the retreats starts and make sure that everything rolls as planned.

Finally, we offer suggestions and solutions for other venues in Greece, with which we are collaborating, according to the demands of each retreat and group.

Personal Retreats

We also offer personal retreat time in selected weeks throughout the year, specially designed for deeper spiritual contemplation.

If you are a spiritual seeker, traveler, of just need some time to unwind the noise of a busy life, immersing on a personal retreat in the Foodpath Centre might just be the right thing for you.

During your personal retreat you will have the opportunity of enjoying the tranquility of the mountain, while not having to take care of any practicality.
