Holismos Yoga & Wellness Lesvo island, Greece
Mediterranean Retreats Center
Skala Vasilikon, Lesvo island, Greece
The building, which today has been completely converted into a centre for yoga and the study of energy and healing practices, was originally a traditional Greek tavern and small hotel. The building, which overlooks the Gulf of Kalloni (the sea is just a few metres from the house), is completely secluded and set in a natural environment of exceptional beauty. This area is a paradise for all birdwatchers who come to the island, especially in the spring months, from all over the world to admire pink flamingos, black and white storks, peregrine falcons and many other migratory birds of rare beauty. The gulf is an important breeding area for many fish species that make this stretch of sea teeming with life. Its location, the natural context in which it is found, the peace, the silence and the strength of the elements, make this an ideal place to totally immerse oneself in the study and practice of the various disciplines, leaving behind all the physical and emotional burdens that normally crowd our lives.
TYPES OF ACCOMMODATION
The centre provides five rooms with bathrooms, and another five rooms with bathrooms are available 800 metres away. We offer accommodation in double rooms with single beds and in single rooms (for an additional charge).
THE FOOD
All meals are carefully prepared by our staff directly in the centre's spacious kitchen. The raw materials and ingredients, all locally produced, are of the highest quality because they are grown in healthy, unpolluted environment on lava soil that is rich in nutrients. Meals include breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plenty of fruit from our garden, herbal teas, water and various drinks are available throughout the day. Meals are vegetarian/ vegan based with a strong Greek/Middle Eastern influence.

Teaching methods
Teachers come from three different yoga lineages, providing different perspectives on the wisdom and teachings of yoga. This fosters the students' ability to see the same situation from different perspectives. We offer a good basis for developing intelligent and creative personal enquiry. The exploration of the traditional practice is done in a way that honours the tradition, but also provokes an investigation that makes the practice relevant and current, in tune with an ever-changing modern world.
