Our Story
Based in Zakynthos, Greece the Zen Yoga Studio is part of Out to Explore, organising alternative holidays on this stunning island. We have a core schedule of classes in the studio and we take our practice out to wonderful locations all over the island too. Zen Yoga is a life enhancing exploration. A journey that can start at any point in your life and will continuously improve your life and your world. It is a gentle exploration rather than a painful journey to destination 'I've got my leg behind my head'! The journey never ends, and every step of the journey is different and glorious in its own right.I will guide you through a safe practice that will become the foundation of your new balanced life. Individual or group practice is your choice. The best way to discover the benefits is to give it a go. You will find the combination of stretching and deep breathing will do wonders for your physical well-being. You'll find too that mindful practice can have all sorts of benefits; reducing stress, improving mental clarity, inner peace and serenity, greater vitality and increased quality of life. What is mindfulness? In Japanese calligraphy, the symbol for mindfulness is called 'Nen'. If translated directly the top half of the character represents 'now' and the bottom half represents 'heart or mind'. Mindfulness is simply the presence of a calm, alert, open, curious but flexible and deliberate but judgement free attention to the action of the present moment. Sounds a bit weird, doesn't it? Once you get the hang of it you'll never look back. Quite literally!
