Come to Lesbos in May when all the flowers are in bloom and the island is green and warm. The Milelja Centre is purpose built and is situated on the hillside overlooking the Mediterranean – a short walk from the ancient village of Molyvos. A truly magical island, where you can swim in the warm sea or dip into the nearby hot springs.
Ruth and John White will be leading this special yoga holiday. Iyengar teachers with many years experience, they are renowned for their clarity and precision. They are adept at working with all levels of ability and adjusting their teaching to suit the changing needs of their students.
THE ACCOMMODATIONThe accommodation at Milelja is of a high standard and most comfortable. Rooms are mostly twin-bedded and there will be more adjacent apartments on site this year. Families may stay at the Delfinia Hotel one mile away, where yoga students are made very welcome.
For more details about Milelja, please visit their website at www.milelja.com. We can send you a brochure from the Delfinia Hotel on request.
We are very lucky to be joined on this holiday by some excellent yoga teachers, Gary Carter, Suzy Shpazier and Dawn Smith.
Suzy Shpazier is a very gentle and meditative senior teacher. Her teachings bring relaxation and strength. She is well qualified to teach, being a Karuna teacher for many years. We are delighted she will be joining us for the first 2 weeks.
Gary Carter has a unique approach. His far seeing talks on anatomy and physiology give a new dimension to your yoga adding a feeling of freedom and lightness.
Dawn Smith is a senior Karuna teacher and has a natural gift for teaching. You will enjoy her attention to detail, her clear demonstrations and her empathy.
John White will be taking the philosophy groups this year.
