Where do the courses happen?
The courses on Naxos take place in a stunning setting by the beach and very close to your accommodation, in an outdoor covered area, sheltered from the sun, with some sessions also taking place on the beach, depending on which course you are doing.
What can I expect to be doing on your course?
Each course consists of two training sessions per day with our expert course facilitators, sometimes more. Your day may begin with a stroll along the beach or a free yoga session on the beach before your training starts. There will be plenty of comfort breaks. Once your course is finished for the day, there will be plenty of time to get to know each other, write up your learning journal, explore some of the lovely local tavernas, go for a walk or a swim, or simply relax.
Who are your courses suitable for?
All our courses are suitable for adults over the age of 18.
Unfortunately we are unable to accept bookings from unaccompanied adults who need any extra assistance. Naxos has limited accessibility for wheelchair users. However we are happy to source deaf interpreters (at an extra cost) for hearing impaired. We will also offer a reduced rate for carers. Please contact us with any questions with regards to your needs and we will do our best to accommodate them
Most of our course participants are solo travellers, but we also welcome couples, friends and families.
How do I get to Naxos?
Please arrange to arrive on Naxos the day before your course starts. This means you’ll wake up feeling refreshed and ready to start your course. Of course, you can come earlier if you wish! We can help plan that with you.
There are a few different ways to travel to Naxos. You can fly to Mykonos and then catch a ferry to Naxos (45 minutes to 1 hour), you can fly to Santorini and then catch a ferry to Naxos (3 hours), you can fly to Athens and then fly to Naxos, or for the more adventurous, you can make your way to Piraeus by train or taxi from nearby Athens, and take the ferry (3 to 5 hours).

You will stay in a double, twin or triple studio which has a small kitchen facility and an en suite shower room. Please note we do not put you in a room with someone you don’t know. Family apartments with two bedrooms can also be arranged on request.
