All of their welcoming accommodations include kitchen and cooking essentials, balconies with a vast view of the neighboring sea, air conditioning, and flat-screen televisions. All rooms are designed in accordance with the commitment to provide a calming retreat from the stresses of city life.
Just a one minute walk from your door to the sea, “Evia Silence” provide accessible docks for swimming and sun bathing. They also neighbor an array of beautiful trails and small roads that are perfect for anyone looking to jog, trek, or venture into the wilderness of the mountainside.
During our 7 days retreat we will explore our inner worlds through the practice of Hatha, Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga, using seven yoga principles to reset our body and mind from the stressful daily routine.
These vitalizing and restorative practices coupled with different types of meditation and pranayama sessions, all according to the themes prepared for each day, will result in greater well-being, simplicity and equilibrium in life.

Maitri Yoga
Altruism, friendship, love, benevolence; Maitri is a concept that define a form of love without attachment. Cultivating altruistic behavior towards oneself and all living beings is one of the main goals and benefits of practicing yoga with a meditative attitude and awareness.
Maitri also describes a mental and spiritual union that occurs when two or more people are synchronized on the same wavelength, sharing the same path; thus, Maitri Yoga – Citizen Association for Yoga and Spiritual Development. This is our intention, this is our path.
Our sankalpa is to create a community of beings involved in the spiritual path of yoga, as well as those who are interested in improving the quality of their overall well-being of body mind and spirit.
Besides daily yoga lessons, our yoga school regularly organizes yoga workshops, teacher training and yoga retreats in Europe.
Maitri Yoga is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance® and meets the standards of Yoga Alliance®. Students that complete our verified Teacher Training Course have the right to apply to Yoga Alliance® as Registered Yoga Teachers (RYTs).
