Body, Heart and Mind I
One week of Yoga and Rebirthing Breathwork
Ios Island
Join Nicole Joannides and Matoula Piscopani on the breathtaking Greek island of Ios where the healing power of movement meets the depth of breathing and Stillness. Each day begins and ends with a gentle energy‑based yoga practice guided by Nicole, and after each practice, Matoula draws the setting with Breathwork experiential workshops and practices. The combined work of these two very experienced women together evoke the therapeutic power in you. Conscious connected breathwork and Yoga is an absolute body -consciousness experience. You will experience your healing with an overall inner knowing of learning connected from your body to your everyday life. During your time at Ios Alcyon Blue, you can also enjoy a relaxed walk around the area, the calming rhythm of the island and the beach. This retreat offers a rare chance to reset body and mind, release stored tension and reconnect with your true self in the peaceful beauty of Ios.
