Φεστιβάλ Γιόγκα Αγίου Νικολάου - Yoga festival of Agios Nikolaos, Agios Nikolaos, ??gios Nikólaos (2025)

15/07/2025

It's that time of year again! 💫

We're celebrating the 7th annual Agios Nikolaos Yoga Festival! 🧘🏾‍♂️

"Celebrating yoga in its diversity and inclusivity." 🌈

It's more than a motto; it's the reason for this festival! The festival is open to all yoga teachers and students. Whether you are new to yoga, skeptical of its benefits, or an advanced practitioner, you are welcome to join us for this annual event!

On September 27 and 28, we will meet at the marina in Agios Nikolaos for two days of practice, relaxation, and positive energy amidst the sound of boat masts and the comfort of green grass. 🌳

We cannot forget that our world is becoming less and less cozy and, sadly, more and more violent, with normalized war crimes, genocides, and the oppression of minorities. 💔

That's why this year, the Yoga Festival will have an additional, compulsory philosophical focus: nonviolence. Each teacher will be invited to teach a class and reflect on this topic in their own way. 🕊

Yoga is not only about asanas (poses); it's a philosophy of life! ✨

If you are a yoga teacher interested in joining our team this year, please fill out this form before July 31st to express your interest:

❗More information will be available in August, including additional novelties for this year's edition!

It's Tuesday and we are still floating on a small cloud of happiness after this full week-end of Yoga and human encounters!

✨We are very grateful for this new edition of the Yoga Festival that just finished. Students, you showed up in numbers, some of you doing pretty much all the classes of the programme - you were about 80 yogis and yoginis and that made it a total of 325 attendance at all classes!

🌿Teachers, your professionalism and passion were admirable. We wish you would be all here around us in our town to enjoy your passion for Yoga more often

🌈6th Yoga Festival Agios Nikolaos - 5 of October - Maria Gatsou - Chakra Healing - 14:00 - 15:00 ✨

Maria Gatsu is a Reflexologist, Massage Therapist, Female Empowerment Circle Coordinator, and mother.
The birth of her daughter, 20 years old today, was my inspiration and the reason to start her own healing process.
Reiki was the art form that initiated her. Thus, through the self-healing process, it opened the window to the infinite vision of the holistic healing arts.
She received the corresponding training at the Academy of Ancient Greek and Traditional Chinese Medicine where she completed the two-year course of study for the Diploma in Reflexology while also studying Traditional Chinese Medicine through seminars and with Chinese teachers.
She also completed the courses in Therapeutic Massage with Oils, Thai Yoga Massage, Deep Tissue & Sports Massage, Infant Massage and Pregnancy Massage at ITM Chiang Mai and School of massage for Health in Thailand.

She also coordinates women's circles and seminars on awakening and empowering feminine energy, writes and shares her inspiration around the feminine, the cycles of the Moon, the cycles of nature.
She is graduated from the Stayrakou Film School and participate in theatre groups and performances manifesting the joy of life.

Chakra healing
A journey of empowerment through our seven basic energy centers.
From our root chakra, our base, our grounding, to our crown chakra, our higher body center, our connection to the whole, to Spirit.
With techniques of breathing, meditation, reflexology and aromatherapy, movement and touch, we will feel and strengthen our energy centers.
The purpose of the class is to connect with our bodies, experientially, with gentleness. To release tensions, to get in touch with the wisdom that is recorded in our body. To balance body, mind and emotion.

🌈6th Yoga Festival Agios Nikolaos - 6 of October - Giorgos Androulakis - A shamanic journey for animal strength - 14:00 - 15:00 ✨

George was born in 1986 in Crete where he started his involvement with movement. He is a graduate of the State School of Orchestral Art and the Yoga School ""Yoga & Budo Center"". In 2011 he attended the International Training Massage school (ITM) in Chiang Mai, Thailand where he attended the Certified Advanced Practitioner and Teacher (CAPT) program. In addition, he is a certified teacher of Aerial Yoga and Acro Yoga. In 2014 he began his studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. In recent years, having attended Alberto Villioldo's ""Medicinal Wheel"" program, he has been practicing traditional shamanic therapies.
He has worked with many Greek and foreign choreographers, teachers and healers of various fields and specialties.
His studies are about the human being as a whole (body/spirit/mind) as an independent unit and as part of social groups/groups. An important part of his work and a key part of his teaching is the exploration of ways to communicate, relate and co-exist harmoniously with oneself and the environment in which one finds oneself.
In 2015 he opened Spiti Yoga, lives with 2 dogs and 3 cats and strives above all to be a good parent to them, himself and the people around him.

A shamanic journey for an animal strength
The shamanic journey is a relatively simple guided visualization whose purpose can change depending on the intention, question and request of the person making the journey. An animal strength journey is a journey to meet the spirit of say the animal that can either bring qualities we need at the given stage of our life journey and help us or guide us on our path. It is the beginning of a relationship with this spirit helper/guide that continues, strengthens and deepens over time and as long as we keep it active and nurture it. In this workshop we will give a brief introduction to shamanism and these types of healing processes as well as explain the difference between the realms of the lower, here and upper realms. We will travel safely and simply guided into the realm of the lower world to meet spirit and then explain how we keep this relationship active and beneficial over time.
