Winter Yoga & Hiking at Schinias

Sunday 18 January – Winter Hiking & Yoga Experience at Schinias National Park, combining an easy hike with a guided yoga practice in nature, ideal for relaxation, wellness, and rejuvenation.

We welcome and celebrate the new year with yoga and hiking in nature, at Schinias National Park.

During this experience, we will practice yoga postures that enhance body warmth, open the chest, neck, and sinuses — areas more vulnerable during seasonal conditions — while strengthening the muscular and immune systems.

🔶 Activity Description

The yoga practice is specially designed for the winter season and focuses on gradually activating the body, proper breathing, and creating internal warmth. Through gentle yet effective postures, we cultivate strength, flexibility, and stability, while allowing the body to release tension and the nervous system to calm.

The experience unfolds in harmony with the natural environment, allowing the mind to settle and the body to reconnect with the rhythm of nature.

🔶 The Hiking Route

The hike takes place within the pine forest of Schinias, the largest coastal wetland in Attica and one of the most important in Eastern Greece.

The route is easy, flat, and suitable for everyone, offering sea views and characteristic forest spots that invite moments of calm and relaxation.

Along the way, there will be short stops for photos and brief observation of the natural landscape.

🔶 The Yoga Practice

The yoga session is led by certified yoga instructor Katerina Karasmani. The class is suitable for all levels, including participants with no previous yoga experience.
