Yoga Namaskara – Yoga Holiday

Friday 24th – 31st July 2026

Welcome to Yoga Namaskara 2026 – Rebel Soul

A Yoga holiday like no other, weaving together daily practice, strong community and a sense of belonging held together by clear intentions and the beauty of Mother Nature.

This year we embrace the Rebel Soul. What does it mean to truly show ourselves? To reveal the hidden depths and layers of being, to express what we need from a true source. To integrate life experience and recognise how this has impacted how we move in the world. This will be our continuous theme of exploration, meeting each moment as it comes and as we practice together.

We will share time to replenish, vitalise the body and cultivate a peaceful mind. Exploring the island with our practice in different places, connecting to the land and feeling the volcanic power and wild nature.

We offer an incredible program of yoga, meditation, movement, breathwork, sacred sound, hiking, ceremony, creativity and celebration. We are two dedicated teachers who love sharing our practice and guiding students with their own.

We offer different approaches to yogic postures and meditation that remind us of the variety and universality of yoga. Hatha with Iyengar body alignment and Kundalini Yoga and Meditation to realign with inner purpose. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned practitioner the program we curate will offer you something deeply profound.

Each day you will have free time to explore Nisyros or simply just relax and be. We offer group outings included in the program and daily practice in nature at different locations around the island.

Theres also an opportunity to visit Yali, a small neighboring island that is undeveloped and uninhabited. Here you can see raw, obsidian sparkling beneath the turquoise waters and where you can mindfully collect a small piece to take home with you.

July 24th – 31st is not a retreat, it’s a special time for YOU to be held by a daily practice as well as enjoy island life. We will be staying by the sea at our new location of Mammis Apartments. Where most of our morning classes will take place on the purpose built yoga deck outside and will be our collective home for the duration of your stay.

Accommodation: Each apartment is self catering, based on 3 people sharing, with its own kitchen and bathroom. We have one apartment available for 2 people sharing at an extra cost. This year our spaces are limited so please book early and take advantage of our early bird pricing offering you a discount of £100.

Yoga Namaskara is our humble bow and greeting to one another, to salute what unifies us and to move away from that which can become divisive. The world feels so busy right now with so much happening simultaneously. Part of this gesturing is accepting that all things can exist simultaneously and that we can all choose where and how we direct our energy.
