I had an amazing time during my 200 YTT in Amorgos and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. The level of the asana classes is very well suited for beginners to intermediate practitioners, but also advanced students will certainly have fun as Miriam always offers a lot of variations. You can really see the progress you made after these 3 weeks. Furthermore I found the Pranayama and yoga philosophy very inspiring, although this was all new to me. Miriam is such a passionate teacher and she is very good with words and explaining. She always took a lot of time to answer any questions and lead interesting group discussions. So I really want to thank Miriam for her amazingly inspiring words and her passion, it is infectious!  Also Kaliovi's help and Yin Yoga classes I enjoyed a lot. You just have to love her for her kindness, humbleness and aura of unconditional love!

The yoga shalas are all beautiful with gorgeous views! We could even see the turtles swimming in the sea from the shala :)) I was super positively surprised with the equipment provided: Every student had their own yoga mat (which we were allowed to take home at the end - thank you!!), 3 blocks, a strap, 2 polsters, a blanket, a prana accupressure mat, a towel,… and after every class the space was cleaned, all props organized and the towels changed. Also we were given the chance to practice with the dharma wheel and we tried aerial yoga, walking meditation on the beach, rooftop yoga, trataka, jala neti,...

What added a lot to my absolutely amazing experience with this YTT was the flair of this hotel. By the end we all felt like belonging to the big, warm family which is the core of this hotel. The staff were more than super helpful and friendly - they remembered every name and made you feel at home :) Special thanks here to Arta, Mariana, Poppy and Celia.

Moreover I just loved to view of Aegialis bay (which can be reached within 15 minutes by foot and is the most beautiful beach I have been to, such clear water!) from the room, the pool, the shala, the dining room :)) What also gave me a lot of strength and inspiration is the hotel area: there are flowers, little archways and so much greece vibes - seeing this every day on the way from the room to the shala always lifted my mood even more.
