This 300-hour YTT takes place in Nea Styra village, on Evia Island. Travel time from Athens airport to the retreat center is around 1.5 hours to 2 hours.

The cost of a private taxi from Athens Airport to Agia Marina Harbor is about 100€/person one way. From Agia Marina Harbor, you need to take the ferry to Nea Styra Port, on Evia Island. The duration of the taxi ride is 50 minutes and the duration of the ferry ride is 45 minutes.
We can arrange a taxi to take you directly from the airport to the retreat center, especially if you arrive late in the evening. This option helps you skip the ferry and ensures a smoother journey.

Are there any additional "hidden" costs I should know about?
1. As lunch is not included in this course, students place an order at a local supermarket once per week. If you want to buy food, then 15 euros per week would be more than enough. 2. Your transportation can cost anywhere between 40 euros for a shared taxi/minibus or 120 euros for a private taxi (one way) 4. Laundry costs around 12 euros and you can share the load and the cost with your roommates. Or you can wash the clothes manually in your room :-).
I have very little teaching experience. Can I still join this course?
Yes! Many students join this course just to get teaching experience. You will teach a lot (from week 1) and gain continuous feedback from your peer students and your teachers. You will leave confident and equipped with great teaching tools.
I cannot do crazy postures. Can I still join this course?
Of course you can. The asanas are a never-ending journey and we shouldn't get trapped in this. The point of this course is not to leave on a one-hand handstand. The main aim is to practice, to learn as many skills as you can, and to get as much knowledge as you can so that you can be a better practitioner and serve your students better.
What happens if I need to cancel my spot?
As long as you let us know at least 42 days before the course starts, your deposit will automatically get transferred to a future course. Any cancelation notifications received within 42 days before the course starts, your 400 euros will no longer be transferable and will be lost.
Can I reach the retreat center with public transportation from Athens Airport?
Yes, you can, but you will still need to take a taxi for the last 25 km. In order to save money, you would have to share the cost of this taxi with one more person. To use this method, you must combine 2 buses and then a taxi for the last 25 km. If you travel on your own and pay for both buses and the taxi on your own, then it's preferable to take the minibus with the rest of the students from the airport.
On which day should I arrive? Can I go to the retreat center before the course starts?
The arrival date is on the first day you see on our website. Find a flight that gets to Athens Airport around 1 or 2 pm so that you can be at the retreat center by 5:00 pm maximum. The ride from Athens Airport to the retreat center is around 2,5 hours. If you want to arrive a few days earlier than the check-in dates, please let us know in advance. Check-out is on the last date that you see on the website. Book a flight back, taking into consideration that it takes about 2.5 hours to get to the airport.
Who are the teachers of this course? I'd like to know that beforehand.
Your dream team teachers for this course are Joanna Vladescu, J'amie Blakely, and Leah Sugerman.
How many students do you accept per course?
We accept 22-26 students for this course as the retreat center is quite small and has only 12 rooms. Please apply at least 5-6 months ahead to get your spot.
