22nd - 29th May 2016
Hatha - Yin and Restorative Yoga
with Gina Hardy
Lefkada, Ionian Islands, Greece
Gina Hardy is a Yoga teacher, relationship coach and complementary therapist.
She lives a simple, but experientially rich life these days, having as little stress as possible and keeping her life at a pace that she can enjoy. She is 100% happier than when she was chasing down the next corporate job and living too fast and freedom is her leading value.
A woman of many skills and talents, Gina is razor focused these days on her 20 year long love and passion that is Yoga and teaching.
Yoga is a whole way of life for her, not just exercise, and is an incredible way to foster prime health and deeper awareness of yourself in relationship to life.
Gina has developed a very sound way of teaching Yoga based on her own experience and prior knowledge, which focuses on safe movement and natural alignment of the body’s joints.

Things to do
The rest of the day between Yoga and meals can be spent lazing in the sun, sea, and gazing at the exquisite scenery.
Two of the most beautiful beaches in the world (!) are just 15 minutes drive from the villas.
There is a private beach just below the villas where you will find a beautiful sandy cove and if you’re lucky you can spot dolphins swimming.
The area belongs to the environmental protection network ‘Nature 2000′, a habitat for dolphins and seals.
You can also enjoy the superb view from your room or by the pool to relax and renew your spirits.
Nearby activities are water sports, cycling, walking, hiking, horse riding or bird watching.
