Introduction

Ageless Yogis describes a person or a thing whose age cannot be defined, is nonexistent, or appears not to change. It also describes something that has always existed without beginning or end.

Ageless Yogis is about yoga that explores the ageless aspects of our body and mind, bringing out our inner light and our inner child. On this retreat we will be spending time in an ageless place, with ageless people exploring or inner child. We will explore that our lives are more than our bodies, but also an inner awareness of the light and youth within. The light with no beginning or end. We will spend time together connecting, breathing, moving and finding joy in the moment.

What better place to be present than the islands of Greece, with their timeless history and culture? Retreats are excellent ways to shift into being. By combining the techniques of the Hatha yoga tradition and western medicine, Glenda and Brett have spent their careers helping students shift with grace, power and confidence.

Glenda and Brett have led numerous yoga retreats, vacations and cruises. I hope you can join us on this once in a lifetime yoga experience.

Program

Every retreat is unique and, as such, the itineraries are ever-changing! We finalize the itineraries about 3-6 weeks before the retreat, but after 10 years of hosting retreats, we do have a general idea of what most schedules look like.

Most retreats include one-to-two daily yoga classes. One class takes place in the morning, either just before or just after breakfast. After the first class and meal, you have free time to explore, relax, or take part in optional add-on activities. Lunch (if included in your retreat) will take place midday, during this free time. There is then, usually, an afternoon class followed by dinner. Occasionally some teachers choose to offer an evening restorative class or group gathering after dinner as well.

In addition, there is usually one dedicated “excursion day” in which we do not have scheduled yoga classes. This is a day for people to take advantage of some of the more involved tour and excursion offerings and is always a lot of fun!

Again, this is a very general look at what your retreat schedule could be. We work closely with the teachers to design unique itineraries that reflect their style and the group that’s traveling with them. Once your specific retreat itinerary is complete, we will send it out via email, usually two or more weeks before the retreat starts. Please keep in mind all retreat itineraries are subject to change.
