My friend and I were lucky enough to spend a glorious week in stunning Kefalonia, 1st-8th Sept, enjoying yoga sessions under the highly experienced tutorage of Belle.
We took part in the two hour morning and the ninety minute evening sessions, which were superb and very enjoyable. Belle touched on a myriad of different yoga disciplines, making it all highly interesting, challenging and at times so wonderfully relaxing but also a marvellous learning experience too. I also enjoyed the optional early morning sunrise chant & meditation sessions.. something I will never forget. It is difficult to imagine a more beautiful setting for yoga.
Vigla Village is perfectly unspoilt, making it incredibly relaxing. Whether we wished to unwind with a book under the shade of the ancient trees listening to the Cicadas, and the gentle waves lapping up on the shore, or enjoy a few hours on the gorgeous beach, swimming in the warm sea, or simply chill by the pool, whatever our mood, it was sublime. Even sitting on our private balcony enjoying the sea and Mountain views felt exceptional.
The breakfast provided fresh every morning by our incredibly warm and delightful host, Anna, was perfect. Fresh, delicious and healthy. Featuring watermelon, fruit salad, Greek yoghurt, local honeys, muesli, boiled eggs, juicy tomatoes, cucumber, and much more. For supplies in one’s apartment, ordering in was incredibly easy by email to the local market, and our food was delivered promptly and with a smile. However, there are many wonderful, local restaurants to choose from. My favourite being the very welcoming, and extremely pretty ‘Isolos’ restaurant, just across the road from us. Family run, friendly, delicious fresh food, gorgeous cocktails and a home made Baklava to die for. I would highly recommend.
It is also very easy to order taxis into the beautiful capital, to dine and mooch around the stunning town. But if feeling energetic it’s a an enjoyable walk with fellow yogis into the local village close by, where wonderful, local eateries can be found, along with local shops.
All in all, YOAS Kefalonia, was the most chilled, reinvigorating and relaxing holiday, whilst enjoying superb yoga, in a stunning setting, enjoying fabulous company and eating delicious food!
We both left feeling rested but invigorated, chilled and happy, and felt we had cleansed spiritually and grown in our yoga knowledge.
Highly, highly recommend. Thank you to the lovely Anna and her team, and to the incredible Belle. And a huge thank you to Wendy, from YOAS, for making the whole booking process so easy, and looking after us so well at every stage of our holiday. I would do it all again tomorrow! 🇬🇷
