MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORS
Hello, lovely souls! I’m Maria and I live in the enchanting city of Florence, Italy.
Since I was a little girl, art and movement have always ignited a fire within me. Starting at the age of five, I embarked on a journey through various dance forms, from ballet and hip hop to gymnastics, salsa, and even aerial dance. These experiences have infused my life with creativity.
Over the past decade, I’ve dived deep into the world of yoga, finding strength and inner harmony on the mat. Yoga has become my guiding light, inspiring me to share its transformative power with others.
During our journey together, I will lead you through dynamic vinyasa flows, allowing your body to fluidly express itself in sync with your breath. We’ll delve into the meditative depths of yin yoga, surrendering to stillness and embracing the subtle energy within.
But it’s not just about the physical practice. Throughout our time together, I will encourage you to tap into your creative essence. We’ll delve into movement explorations, inspired by my background in dance, allowing you to embody your own unique rhythm and cultivate a deeper connection between body, mind, and spirit.
Let’s embrace our inner artists, ignite our spirits, and create lasting memories together!
Trainings: Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Yoga, Arm Balance
I am Daniela from Switzerland
I love movement, but I love flowing movement even more! Whether it’s sports outside in nature, pole dancing or classic strength and endurance exercises in fitness, I’m into it.
As a balance for my body, I started practicing yoga 10 years ago. I became more flexible and was able to better protect myself from injury. With each lesson I felt more and more that yoga helps me in my mind as well. I became calmer and more balanced.
By now, yoga is firmly anchored in my life and daily routine. Yoga comes in different forms and I believe we should all be allowed to find the kind that suits us best.
My yoga classes are varied and flowy. I like to play with inversions and give you useful tips and tricks about body and mind while practicing.
While our skipper takes us on a voyage of discovery of hidden Greek bays, I take you on a journey of discovery to your personal yoga flow at the retreat.
Enjoy powerful flow classes with me and join me in inversions. The centerpiece from me to you in the retreat will be a Special 90 min Inside Flow class. This is a special form of Yoga where breath and movement merge.
Together we will build our Inside Flow and flow through a choreography of asanas to a song.
I’m looking forward to meet you.
Only love, always.
Daniela
Trainings: Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga, Yoga Inversions, Inside Flow, Kids Yoga
Which Yoga style will be practiced?
We will teach vinyasa and yin classes as well as meditation, inversion classes and 1 special class Inside Flow. Get ready to flow with Daniela and Maria while our skipper Dimos takes us on a voyage of discovery of hidden Greek blue bays.
When and where will the classes take place?
There will be two sessions daily. One Yoga class, and one other class. We will practice on board of the yacht, but we’ll also explore some beautiful Yoga spots on land. The yoga sessions will take place in the morning or evening, as it is too hot during the day. You are also free to practice Yoga on board yourself.
I don’t feel comfortable sharing a cabin. Can I book a cabin for my own?
If you don’t feel comfortable sharing a cabin, we would highly recommend bringing a friend with whom you can share the cabin. If this is not an option, we want to state that we’ve never had problems with sharing the cabins before. We will meet for dinner on the first evening so you can get to know each other before sharing a cabin. Of course, we will do our best to meet all your wishes and needs.
What is the nearest airport?
The nearest airport is Athens (ATH). To get to the marina you will need additional transport. We will send out a detailed arrival information some weeks before the retreat.
What and how do we eat/cook food onboard?
We’ll be having breakfast (fruit, bread, cheese, tea, cereals, yogurt) and lunch (mostly salads/light food) onboard every day. The ingredients will be on board and we’ll be preparing delicious vegetarian/vegan meals all together every day. We will also have dinner at the local restaurants.
What language will we spoken on board?
As the retreat is open for worldwide guests the main language spoken on board will be english. We also speak Greek, Italian and German.
You are not ready for this one but would like to hear about future retreats? Leave your name and email! We won’t spam! We will just let you know about the details of our next retreat which is scheduled around spring 2024!
