RESTORATIVE YOGA RETREAT
06 - 13 October
In the land of the gods, under the Mediterranean sun, close to the sea and in a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere surrounded by nature, we have designed this restorative yoga retreat aimed to bring back your strength, balance, flexibility and peace of mind.
A relaxing vacation in a singles only resort, where everyone has their own room, with sunrise and sunset yoga classes suitable for any level, with authentic Mediterranean meals and an array of activities ranging from spa treatments and massages to beach escapes and culinary experiences.
​
Our guide for the week is Lisa Garratt, a Morales Method® Core Integration Therapist and Structural Integration practitioner who specializes in combining Alignment-Based Hatha, Gentle, Restorative, and Vinyasa Flow yoga classes with therapeutic bodywork and massages. Her yoga classes emphasize mindfulness, alignment, and deepening the connection with the breath, while her bodywork sessions are one-on-one and will target individual participant needs, treating people with injuries and pain by focusing on fascia, joint stability, and mobilization. In addition to applying Structural Integration concepts, Lisa uses techniques that include cranial sacral therapy and polarity to help with the integration and therapeutic process.
Working in the field of yoga and bodywork since 2002, Lisa is working in USA and has taught in Sri Lanka, Bali, Greece, and Mexico; has a strong Iyengar background; is a CMT, a Structural Integrator, and an E-RYT500 Yoga Alliance registered yoga teacher. She is continuously developing her knowledge and techniques, studying currently with Advanced Rolfer™, Marty Morales, the founder of the Morales Method® and Advanced Iyengar Yoga Teacher, Kofi Busia among others.
