Join us at the beautiful Island of Crete in Greece, where time feels more spacious. The Yoga Therapy & Nutrition Immersion it´s a hands-on experience focused on learning the basics of individualised yoga and functional plant based nutrition to optimise your personal health and practice. Our week will be a blend of yoga therapy classes for the morning and cooking classes along with lectures in the afternoon.

You will be able to design a therapy practice based in harmonising the 5 Elements and their correspondent 12 organs-meridians, by learning how to assess what´s appropriate and when in the spectrum of movement, eating patterns and lifestyle choices.

The immersion encourages each participant to listen deeply their own process and undertake specific practices for self-inquiry held within the group experience. Each day will have yoga therapy practice, meditation, pranayama, cooking as the foundation for experiential learning weaved with plenty of time to rest by the pool, go for a hike in the mountains, swim at the beach or simply take a nap. The principle is that you do what you need inside the proposed schedule.

Our Yoga Therapy Approach

We cover a variety of styles during this immersion, as we work with the 5 Elements philosophy, so the style serves the purpose of experiencing the Element that we are specifically working. From alignment based Hatha and Vinyasa Flow to the more subtle energetic practices of Yin Yoga, Nidra and Meditation, you will learn different ways of practicing and assessing what better suits your constitution & condition. We integrate in the practice the yogic principles of Langana (Elimination) & Bramana (Amplification), mirrored on the Taoist philosophy of Yin and Yang.

The Bespoke Nature of this Immersion

To ensure a personalised experience and dedicated attention, this immersion is limited to 7 participants. While yoga therapy can be practiced in a group, its benefits are  most effective when tailored to each individual. This approach is grounded in over 20 years of study, practice, teaching, and exploration into the body-mind connection, drawing wisdom from Yoga, Ayurveda, Taoism, Macrobiotics, and Somatic Experiencing, developed by Sofia Araújo.
