Location
The course will take place in Paleochora, South Crete, Greece. Crete Island is the biggest and the extreme southern island of Greece. Paleochora is Crete’s gateway to the Libyan Sea. It is one of the most beautiful towns in the prefecture of Chania with extremely good weather where the summer lasts for over five months! Here, you will feel at home through the kindness and friendliness of the people, you will taste the delicious local cuisine while the beauty of the sea and scenery will literally sweep you away.
The picturesque village is located on a small northern peninsula surrounded by two exquisite beaches with sand and pebbles. The distance between Chania and Paleochora is a 75 kilometre drive enriched with the wild beauty that the Cretan scenery has to offer.
Accommodation
Our training venue is an eco-cottage retreat and seminar centre located between Paleochora and Anydri village in the south of Crete island. Set in the most beautiful landscape, our venue is only a few minutes away by car (or about 20 minutes trekking down a canyon) to some of the most pristine beaches and graphic Paleochora village. Accommodation is based on a triple and double occupancy, and single rooms may be available upon request. There are two fully equipped kitchens for students’ use, as well as a small third kitchen in the yoga room. There are two yoga spaces for our use: an outdoor and an indoor space.
Arrival and Departure
All traveling arrangements are arranged by the participants. We can assist you with directions from Chania or Heraklion airport, and with booking a taxi or providing information on the bus schedule. Buses leave regularly from Chania to Paleochora and it is very simple to reach Paleochora by bus. Closer to training start, when we have all participants’ arrival times, we can bring you in contact with others arriving at the same time and you can share a taxi / travel together by bus.
Food
Food is not included due to very different dietary preferences we had to cater to in the past, making the overall cost of food very expensive. This way we can be cost effective and trainees can choose how much to spend on food while sticking to their personal eating regime. There are two fully equipped kitchens available for students to use (one kitchen per three rooms) where you can store food and make your brunch. There are large grocery stores and supermarkets in the village. Early dinner can be eaten out at the beach at many taverns that serve fresh local food, or cooked in the kitchen.Vegetarian and vegan food is available at every tavern and there is also a Vegetarian restaurant in the village.
What to Bring
Participants need to bring their own yoga mat, 2 blocks, a strap, at least two notebooks and a white outfit for graduation ceremony. Teacher training manual will be provided on the first day, and you will be sent reading material via email upon registration in order to prepare for the training. Please register ahead of time in order to have ample time to prepare for the training!
