ESCAPE TO THE GREEK ISLAND OF PAXOS FOR A LATE SUMMER
WEEK OF KUNDALINI YOGA
There are many yoga holidays on offer but special interest holiday
operator, Paxos Life Activities, is one of the few
operators to offer Kundalini yoga.
The Greek island of Paxos is a peaceful and inspiring
location with unspoilt villages, stunning scenery and
the unrushed pace of life in Greece as it always used to
be. With its serene olive groves, white-washed churches
and deserted beaches it offers the perfect opportunity
to tap into the peace and beauty of an inspirational
landscape and there is no better place to take some time
out of the rat-race and simply relax. This also makes it
the ultimate destination for a yoga holiday.
And late Summer is the ideal time to visit Paxos: most
tourists have left, the weather is usually still
pleasantly warm but without the searing heat of
mid-Summer, the sea is still lovely for swimming and the
olive groves are once again carpeted with wild
flowers.
Paxos Life Activities’ Late Summer Yoga Week therefore
provides the ideal opportunity to experience Kundalini
yoga, a form of yoga which is less well-known than Hatha
or Iyengar yoga but is actually more holistic, more
transformational and works more rapidly than any other
form of yoga.
Kundalini yoga
is suitable for people of any age or physical ability
whether or not they have any previous experience of
yoga. It consists of several
elements, all of which are brought into every session
and can be described as “a technology for spiritual
growth or self-help for the soul which gives those that
practice it strength to change and to expand their
capacity for life”. It inspires calmness, peace of mind,
relaxation and inner strength and helps to create
healthy, strong and balanced individuals who are better
equipped to cope with every day, situation and
relationship in life.
The holiday will be based around early morning group
yoga sessions supplemented by walking meditations in the
lovely Paxos countryside and early evening
yoga/meditation. Afternoons will be free to explore
Paxos or take advantage of the wonderful peace and quiet
and simply relax.
Paxos Life Activities is working with specialist tour
operator Travel à la carte to offer the holiday and
accommodation will be in two lovely villas (each with
private pool) set in the olive groves above the little
coastal village of Loggos and featured in Travel à la
carte’s 2010 programme.
