Notes from Athens: practising among ancient stones
Sunrise on the hill, warm stone under the mat and a group that became a family in five days.
Some places make you whisper. Athens in October is one of them.
The mornings
We met before sunrise, walked up in silence and practised while the city was still asleep. A slow flow, long holds, and then the light arrives on the columns. Nobody talks for a few minutes after that.
The afternoons
Strength work, handstand drills, a lot of laughter and even more salad. Every evening we closed with breathing and a short meditation.
What I brought home
The reminder that practice is not about the perfect pose. It is about showing up — with the same people, again and again, until the practice starts carrying you.
The Retreat Recap Practice video is waiting for everyone who was there. For everyone else — the next retreat dates will be announced to subscribers first.
