  What else ...

  We are situated a little remote (10 minutes drive to the closest village), but in gorgeous nature very close to the sea (a few meters only), so you need to be ok with being away from busy city life. What we offer is the opposite. Here you will find time to just be. You will be part of an international team of yogis.
  
  There are lovely hiking possibilities in the area and we organize trips every week we go on excursions to different places on the island and you can participate in this if you like.
  
  We have had several volunteers, and they loved it, but this is more for people who are looking for a peaceful place and who are not afraid of being on their own in their free time. If you like to practice yoga and meditation, this is your place!
