It is an alternative holiday, a chance to explore and invest in yourself through a daily practice of mindful movement and create awareness in your body and mind. At the same time, you will explore with us the rich culture of this ancient civilization, the warm hospitality and the amazing Cretan cuisine at its best! Very often this can be a great opportunity to re-balance or even re-evaluate one’s life.
