Quietly floating in the heart of the Saronic island group, Hydra is Greece's best open secret. Discovered, it remains unblemished. This postcard place out-of-time where Leonard Cohen once called home, retains its place-out-of-time unique beauty. From the shimmering crescent-shaped harbor to a port that looks more movie set than commercial district, the restaurants, shops, markets, and galleries share space with spectacular landscapes, pristine beaches, and neoclassical mansions. There are not only no cars, but there are also no roads - donkeys and horses provide the only transport. More than a destination, Hydra is essentially an open-air theater, with locals and tourists entering and exiting from either the sea or through an intricate web of cobblestone steps. People who come here stay...or return.

Take time to rest and connect to stillness in this magical restorative practice immersed in atmospheric music and a dreamscape environment. There are only floor postures in this class, and each one is held longer, so you are invited to close your eyes, breathe slowly and deeply, and let yourself release and drift away. Holding the postures longer helps stretch the deep connective tissues between the muscles and the fascia throughout the body, in addition to improving circulation to the joints. Even though you can do this practice without props, feel free to have a block, folded blanket and pillow by your side in case you need it for support. If you need to reset and relax, treat yourself with this yoga class. Experience bliss.
