Pottery and Yoga - Clayoga Retreat





Yoga and pottery perfectly compliment each other.
Every morning begins with a balancing yoga session in our garden by the pool. Polixeni, the co-founder of Skopelos Yoga Class, guides you through a pleasant flow that charges you with energy that relaxes and grounds you. Embedded in meditation and relaxation and with the sound of the waves in your ears, it's the perfect start to the day and gives your holiday that extra dose of relaxation.Practicing yoga will help at keeping your breath steady and your mind clear while working with clay.
Morning: This class will be held outside if the weather allows it. The fresh air, the closeness to the earth and gazing at the morning sky is a great way to start the day. Gently waking the body up through movement, exploring some breathing exercises and creating some heat will be the focus of this class.
Evening: After focusing on your pottery skills during the day and bending over the wheel you are welcome to join a second class. We will be doing counter movements to the positions we put our bodies in while doing pottery. Chest openers, balance postures and some restorative poses will be elements of this class to keep our bodies and creativity flowing.
You are welcome to join both classes; however, if you would prefer to take the time to relax, you are encouraged to do so.
