Bridget Woods Kramer and Bill Mahony Yoga Retreat
Greece, October 10-16th, 2027
Back in 2027 for what seems to be unfolding as an annual autumn retreat. This year we will enjoying the teachings from Bridget and Bill by the stunning blue waters of the Ionian Sea.
Bridget Woods Kramer
Bridget Woods Kramer is one of the UK’s leading yoga teachers. Her continued self practice for over 50 years is evident in not only her asana practice but also her very presence. Bridget started teaching in 1988 and has since taught to students of all ages and abilities (including a few celebs along the way!) She is a well known and well loved teacher in both Cornwall and in London where she taught at Triyoga for many years; in 2012 she was voted as one of the top 5 teachers in London by the Evening Standard. Bridget has a gift for alignment – she is unparalleled in her ability to read each unique body. She is also known for her humour – expect to laugh and not to take yourself too seriously as well.
Bill Mahony
Bill Mahony is known in yoga communities across the continents for his warm, lively and compassionate teaching that is accessible to contemporary yoga students at all levels as well as to those interested in deepening their spiritual lives in other ways. Bill integrates his deep knowledge of yoga philosophy with insights refined over nearly five decades of his own yogic practice. He shares with participants the expansive and transforming wisdom he finds in the splendid texts he studies, and he guides participants in ways they can fruitfully apply these perspectives in their own lives.
The Location
The setting for the 2027 retreat is Urania Villas on Lefkada Island, Greece. The site is set on the cliffs on the South coast of Lefkada with views of the Ionian Sea and the mythical island of Ithaca
With a small maximum retreat site of 18, accommodation is shared between 3 stone villas; all with en-suite bathrooms, a living area and its own kitchen. Each villa also has its own pool, one of which will be heated.
The site has its own beautiful private beach. It’s a steep hike about 20-30 minutes’ walk each way, but, I am told, well worth it!
You can find the site here: https://uraniavillas.gr/greece-yoga-retreats-lefkada/ but I do ask that you direct any questions about the accommodation to myself.
