Yoga with Adrienne Riel

Adrienne was introduced to Iyengar Yoga by Mary Niker in

1998. She frequently travelled with Mary and fell in love

with the yoga/holiday combination.

Adrienne became a devoted student of Margaret Rawlinson

and Sheila Haswell. Qualifying in 2011 Adrienne has been

teaching in the South Oxfordshire area where she has built up a strong professional

reputation.

Adrienne maintains her personal development by attending courses with Uday Bhosale

who taught at the Ramamani Institute with BKS Iyengar. She travelled to India to attend

an intensive course with Abhijata Shrindar, Iyengar's granddaughter.

She has a gift for teaching with compassion and laughter, enabling those who doubtthemselves to go beyond their own physical, emotional and spiritual expectations -leaving them full of confidence and delight in their own achievements.

Your Yoga Holiday

Morning classes will start with simple poses which will

gradually move towards more advanced poses, ensuring we

are working safely with maximum benefit to flexibility,

strength and wellbeing. We will use blocks, bricks, belts

and blankets to help us achieve our full potential. The

class will end with a 15 minute relaxation leaving you

energised for the day.

Evening classes will be a shorter session of recuperative passive poses, followed by deep

relaxation and pranayama which will compliment the morning practice.

'If you are travelling by yourself, so am I, so there will always be someone to chat, wine

and dine with. I aim to make everyone feel welcome into our holiday Iyengar yogic

family'

"Words cannot convey the value of yoga - it has to be experienced"

Additional information

Kissamos, also known as Kastelli, is a small town which

mostly sells tractors to the local farming community. There

is however a network of cobbled streets where you can

find shops and cafes leading to an area which overlooks the

sea where there are traditional Cretan fish restaurants.

Our yoga venue is on the very outskirts of the small town.

Here the sea is clean, warm and shallow making for easy

swimming with a long quiet strand of golden sandy beach

with occasional shingle. Our beach is called Mavros Molos

and the yoga space is above the beach looking out to sea.

Apart from sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling and yoga you can visit ancient ruins,

take a day cruise, explore the Venetian town of Chania, walk gorges or just be still

and enjoy the ocean.

Our hosts Mike and Maria own the beachside taverna. They will

be feeding us after the morning yoga class and on selected

evenings during the week - we are keeping some evenings spare

so we can visit the fish restaurants mentioned above.

Maria is a fantastic cook and during the week there will be the

option of attending a cookery class where you will be taught

how to prepare traditional Greek vegetarian meals. - which we

will then eat!

There will also be an optional excursion to the organic olive oil mill at Astrikas, this

is world famous olive oil which you can purchase on site if you wish. It is fantastic

and includes both organic lemon olive oil and organic orange olive oil. To find out

more go to www.biolea.gr
