Yoga is a massive topic and we get asked many questions by beginners, experienced yogis and teachers alike. Don’t be shy, if you can’t find the answer to your question below, or in our other FAQ sections, please write to us at [email protected]
What does the daily schedule look like? Each teacher schedules the retreat differently, depending on their yoga style and the sun rise and sun set times as well as the daytime temperatures. We normally have a good idea of what the schedule will be for each teacher so you can ask us or check out their Yoga Rocks past retreats for a good idea of how the holiday will look.
On which days does the yoga start and finish? Most people arrive for the retreat on the Saturday so they can settle in and the first class is Sunday morning. The last yoga class is normally Friday morning, leaving Friday afternoon free for absorbing your week and relaxation. Occasionally a group may have Friday afternoon yoga and, rarer still, a Saturday morning class.
Yoga Rocks retreat Crete Our retreat enjoys a truly stunning location on a small cliff overlooking long, pristine, undeveloped beaches only ten minutes walk away. If you’d like to see a video tour please see our Yoga Rocks retreat video tour page. Yoga holidays run Saturday to Saturday with yoga beginning on the Sunday morning. We begin each retreat with a chat so we have an idea how everyone can get the most from their holiday. A Friday night celebratory feast at a traditional Cretan taverna ‘closes’ the retreat. All Yoga Rocks rooms are spacious and en suite with stunning views of the Mediterranean from their balcony or terrace. The scrumptious vegetarian lunch and dinner are served buffet style overlooking the pool and sea. At all times guests are welcome to a wide range of teas, including medicinal Cretan mountain teas, as well as fresh coffee, fruit and nuts. For breakfast help yourself to fruit, local honey and all homemade yogurt, bread and jams. Our nutritious, delicious food draws inspiration from the Cretan diet which is reputedly the healthiest in the world. Detoxify with fresh, quality, local produce. We mainly source fruit and vegetables directly from farmers – organic where possible. Fertile mountain slopes and bountiful sunshine produce some of the tastiest fruit and vegetables, which, when prepared with love (and local olive oil), result in mouth watering yet healthy cuisine. Enjoy your buffet feasts as an integral part of your yoga holiday.Yoga Rocks delicious vegetarian buffet tomato salad on yoga holiday Greece salads at Yoga Rocks Crete with local Cretan cheese homemade sheep yoghurt icecream at yoga retreat Crete Dinner table at Yoga Rocks Crete The retreat is non-smoking, alcohol free and vegetarian.
