Yoga stays on the island of Kos
Greece has some well- known islands, but do you know the Dodecanese archipelago? Its 12 islands, including the famous island of Rhodes, are located off the Turkish coast. In 2020, when the Covid crisis was already in full swing, I decided to escape the hustle and go on a yoga retreat on the island of KOS, the island of Hippocrates the father of Medicine! It was from here that the idea of creating YO-NAMAHA came to me, so it seemed essential for me to invite you to discover this little gem.
Sublime beaches, exceptional architectural sites such as its beautiful old town, its port, its mountains suitable for hiking, its infrastructures which allow you to crisscross the island by bicycle, the most used means of transport on the island, KOS is an island conducive to holidays combining relaxation, sports, culture and yoga!
A few years ago, after a wonderful holiday in KOS, Mariëlla left her native Holland and decided to settle down on the island she had fallen in love with…Yoga enthusiast, hiker, close to nature, she then created yoga holidays accessible to all audiences and all nationalities! Her desire: to host groups of human size and share her love of the island through various activities. Here, no competition but letting go, people come to relax and explore at their own pace. Over the years, Mariëlla has also created several programs, whether you are an experienced yogi or a beginner, a hiking enthusiast or simply a vacationer looking for escape, holidays in KOS are enjoyable for everyone!
Discover the programs on offer and let yourself be seduced by the island of KOS, where you never come back the same..
