Program
Immersed in nature, Cyprus Villages is the ideal environment to decelerate and get to know yourself. The yoga teacher guides you into gently executed body postures, followed by an awareness phase to further better body knowledge, more strength, and flexibility. The deep relaxation at the end of each class has a calming, balancing effect that counters the consequences of stress. The content and the teaching methods are adapted to each person's current condition, needs and interests. So, the courses are both accessible and challenging to all levels. The teaching style is undogmatic, free from constraints and esoterism.
