crete Retreat with Claire cunningham

28 Jul - 4 Aug 2024

Join yoga edge teacher Claire for a week of yoga, qigong, bodywork and relaxation in the sunny Greek island of Crete. With nurturing food, stunning landscapes and lots of time to relax, this promises to be a truly special retreat.

The coastal village of Agios Pavlos is a stunning, peaceful location in the south of Crete. A secret of the Greek islanders and popular with yoga seekers for many years, this tiny village is located on a horse-shoe bay, where you can swim in clear waters, explore the rock pools and lounge in the sun. You can also explore and swim at a bigger stretch of beach with sweeping sandhills just over the ridge. There are two tavernas and the Dragon Bay Bar where you can catch the sunset over dinner or a drink.

Testimonial from Claire’s Crete retreat:
"...It was a complete joy from start to finish. The setting, apartments, studio and lovely hotel staff could not have been better...your teaching was a great motivation for us all - not just the actual yoga...but the spiritual and thoughtful side was also very interesting, moving and thought provoking. You radiated positive energy which was infectious!..."
