A typical day at Yoga Plus
A normal day at Yoga Plus starts with Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, (Mysore-style) self-practice class followed by the Introductory class. Additional classes take place either mid and/or late afternoon. Where Tai Chi is on offer, it will be early morning and sunset to provide the opportunity to take part in at least one class a day. Dinner is around 8pm, sometimes followed by dancing, depending on the time of year. Meals are presented buffet-style. Breakfast of porridge, fruit, bread and spreads is available from 7.30 am onwards; Lunch is at 12.00 and offers a choice of dishes including salads, savouries and cakes. Emphasis is placed on the quality of the diet at Yoga Plus. Our experienced cooks create varied menus based on vegetarian, vegan and macrobiotic principles. The food on offer benefits from the health-giving properties of the Mediterranean diet, using local cold-pressed olive oil, seasonal vegetables and fruits, with wholegrains, pastas and legumes as a base. Meals offer a wide variety of choice. Water comes from a natural spring in the mountains and is drinkable straight from the tap.
Mention should be made of the staff whose contribution helps to create the special Yoga Plus holiday atmosphere with its great sense of community.

What to bring
Yoga Plus is relaxed and informal; here are a few suggestions for what to bring with you to make the most of your stay:
• your yoga mat
• Sun protection
• Mosquito repellant or a net which can be attached to a hook in the ceiling.
• Swimming goggles, snorkel, mask and fins.
• Good walking shoes or trainers for the
local terrain.
• Beach towel
• Warmer clothing (at the start and end of the season) It can be cool in the morning and occasionally rain in spring and autumn.
• A torch - there is not much street lighting in Agios Pavlos, which does, however, mean that the night sky is incedibly pollution free!
The bay of Agios Pavlos comprises Yoga Plus, 5 tavernas and a beach bar, a mini-market, a public payphone and internet access in one of the tavernas. There are NO facilities for withdrawing cash - these as well as medical facilities are available in the town of Spili which is about 40 minutes drive away.
We should also mention the winds that are sometimes experienced in Agios Pavlos - they can be dramatic, whipping up and dying down just as quickly. They add to the feeling of awe and being at one with nature in this area and help, along with the distance from the airports in the north, to prevent this becoming a mainstream tourist area. They really don’t last long enough to spoil anyone’s enjoyment.
Yoga Plus rooms are simple and clean, in the Greek style, they are comfortable and not luxurious. Be prepared for the fact that remoteness does mean a rugged environment, with no paved paths and no nearby cash-points or medical facilities - coping with a few inconveniences, however, it could be said to add to the charm and experience of the holiday!
