What’s included

Nel – Our Yoga teacher

If you came on holiday with us in 2024, you would have been lucky enough to meet the fantastic, smiley, and energetic Nel! Nel first started practicing Yoga at the age of 13, and in her 20’s found the benefits of Yoga to help people live a fulfilled life, to combat physical and mental illness.

Nel took her love for Yoga a step further and travelled to India where she remained for months, practicing yoga, and finishing her travels in Ashram in the foothills of the Himalays, training to become a fully-fledged Yoga teacher.

“I enjoy spreading Eastern knowledge to the West; teaching Yoga in the UK and Greece. I love to communicate, through my teaching, that Yoga is for, and will benefit, everyone in any walk of life”.

Vinyasa Yoga

Linking the movements with the breath is called Vinyasa. This is one of the most popular
styles of yoga and is called ‘flow’ because of the smooth way the poses run together.
Attention is focused on alignment and transition between poses, leading to improved
stamina and flexibility. The beauty of Vinyasa yoga is the variety. There is no standard sequence in Vinyasa yoga, so the style, pace, and intensity will all vary depending on the teacher. Classes may be sequenced around a peak pose such as a backbend, or they might focus on a particular theme such as the chakras or an aspect of yoga philosophy. The class may be dynamic and focus on strengthening postures, or it may be a slower flow with an emphasis on mobility and flexibility in the spine or the hips.

YIN Yoga

Yin yoga is a quiet contemplative practice. Yin yoga works deeply into our body with
passive, longer-held poses. It targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective
tissues – ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body, and the
meridians. This is contrast to a Yang yoga practice such as Vinyasa yoga which targets
the muscles. Energetically, Yin yoga improves the energy flow, enhancing the flow of chi in the organs. To be healthy, we need healthy organs as well as healthy muscles. Yin yoga also offers Breathwork Facilitator, with wonderful emotional and mental health benefits.

Astanga

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga emphasises the linking of movement and breath (vinyasa), Ujjayi breathing, and bandhas (energy locks). Ashtanga Vinyasa is a very dynamic and athletic form of yoga. It is made up of six “series” (Primary, Intermediate, and four Advanced series) each of which has a fixed order of poses. The traditional sequence starts with five Surya Namaskara A and five B, standing poses, one of the six series, and ends with a finishing sequence. Traditionally this is taught in a “Mysore” style where the student learns the sequences gradually under the personalized guidance of a teacher, progressing onto the next posture when they are ready.

Hatha Yoga

Yoga class described as ‘Hatha’ will typically involve a set of physical postures (yoga
poses) and breathing techniques. These are typically practised more slowly and with
more static holds than a Vinyasa flow or Ashtanga class. And indeed, that is how we
describe our Hatha yoga classes on EkhartYoga.
Literally however, Hatha means ‘force’ and is more traditionally defined as ‘the yoga of
force’, or ‘the means of attaining a state of yoga through force’. So Hatha yoga can be
considered as anything you might do with the body.

An example daily itinerary

Lixouri Bay beach club

Our large studios, suites and apartments at Lixouri Bay beach club are comfortable and nicely presented. Most have outstanding sea views, overlooking the beach and across the bay to the mountains beyond. Spacious, cool and modern with self-catering facilities and tea / coffee making facilities. There’s an internal lift also if required and WIFI throughout.

We also have a lovely selection of villas, all very close by, which offer a little bit of exclusivity and independence that some families are looking for.

What’s included

We offer this active holiday as a “Club Board” option – all breakfasts and 3 evening meals are included. This gives you the opportunity to choose lunch options and explore the local area and its fantastic scenic tavernas on a couple of evenings –  which is a must.

We love the food!

Don’t expect drab international fare – at the Club, you can expect to taste an excellent variety of locally sourced and fresh ingredients, served at the club taverna which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. From classic Greek kitchen dishes, seasonal salads and freshly grilled sardines, to a hearty club hamburger we will ensure that all dietary requirements are catered for as well as fussy eaters too!

Crisps, ice creams and a range of other snacks, plus a wide selection of drink and cocktails are available from the Beach Bar 11am – 6pm daily.

When it comes to drinks, Kefalonia has 48 varieties of grape grown locally, producing some very fine, internationally recognised wines worth trying, along with some fantastic Hellenic beers, there’s plenty to sample and enjoy and all are very reasonably priced.

Our beachfront hotel is quick and easy to get to, with a reasonable flight time of 3hrs from the UK and many regional departure airport options direct to Kefalonia Airport. The transfer is approximately 60 minutes.

Flights & Transfers are not usually included in our holiday packages as we offer a bespoke travel experience and some guests prefer to organise their own travel independently.

Our Expert Travel Planner

Many guests do however choose to take advantage of our travel planner to book their flights & transfers with us for the peace of mind of an ATOL protected holiday and of course for the added convenience.

You have the option to :

• Book your ATOL protected flights with us
• Pre-book your arrival transfer with us for an airport meet & greet and onward travel
• Pre-book your departure transfer with us for a hassle free end to your holiday

Our ATOL license 12803  ensures that with a flight-inclusive package you will be looked after in case we have to cancel your holiday or leave you stranded overseas due to any company financial difficulties. It ensures you will receive a full refund for all aspects of your holiday and/or be repatriated.

Booking flights through us incurs a £25 ATOL fee.

Destination – Kefalonia Airport Greece (EFL).

Flight Requirements – changeover day usually Thursday (some flexibility).

Transfer Details – a private taxi or minibus takes 60 minutes for the scenic drive around the bay from the airport to the club and vice-versa.

• 1-4 people in a private taxi one-way £70 total including meet & greet
• 4-8 people in a mini-bus one-way £95 total including meet & greet

What we say…

It’s a good idea to pre-book an arrival transfer and be met at the airport for a stress-free arrival ,as the airport is often quite hectic.

Often guests do choose to make their own way back to the airport for the return transfer at the end of their holiday – a short shuttle bus into Lixouri, grab the ferry across the bay to Argostoli (20 mins) and then jump in another taxi for a 20min ride to the airport. All arranged locally by the team in resort.
