Mind and Body

The mind-body connection is real, and it has a powerful impact on our well-being at every level. And we can learn to harness the power of the mind-body connection in our own lives to optimize our happiness and health.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine and Taoist traditions, autumn is the season of the metal element and is associated with the lung and large intestines. It is time to slow down and turn inside after the yang energy of summer. Stay in beautiful villas with pool and sea view in Paros, and practice yin yoga to focus on your lungs and large Intestine meridians. Yin yoga practice is slow, meditative, calming your body and mind, in a gentle way. We will also practice on Antiparos, another gorgeous Greek island.
