Yoga in Greece
on the island of SANTORINI

with Suddha Weixler
June 25 - July 3, 2009



The spectacularly beautiful Santorini is world renowned for its amphitheatric architecture, its breathtaking views and the atmosphere of the Cycladic islands.







Santorini is one of the most popular and cosmopolitan resorts in Greece and, indeed, in the world. Its charms are unique: the renowned Caldera, volcanic beaches, the legendary sunsets in contrast with the scenic colors and its natural beauty.


A visit at the end of June, before the peak season starts, promises quiet and a chance to enjoy the true hospitality of the Greek people and top quality services.


We will be staying in a small family-run waterfront hotel in deluxe rooms with air-conditioning and sea views, located on the three mile long beach. The hotel has a private swimming pool and is close to shops, restaurants, and tavernas offering fresh, delicious Greek cuisine and local seafood.


Thira, the main town, can be reached by bus in 15 minutes, allowing amazing views of the sea and neighboring islands. Thira's shops display elegant jewelry and arts and crafts, offering great shopping. Several museums host collections of sculptures, vases, wall-paintings, and rich, diverse pottery styles.


Our hotel inspires rejuvenation with a warm, relaxed ambiance. After morning practice we will enjoy an extensive buffet breakfast in the pleasant morning air next to the pool.
A visit to the scenic town of Ia is a must; located high on a cliff-top, a short hike leads down to a small harbor with a local taverna, a few fishing boats and time suddenly stands still!


There are other trails and places to explore; a private island boat tour on a traditional Greek sailboat visits the volcano and a smaller island, stopping for a swim in the crystal-clear Mediterranean Sea.


This will be an amazing yoga week! The cost of this trip is $1160. This includes your room with an extensive breakfast, double occupancy, (single supplement $1430) and all instruction. Not included are air fare, ground transportation and meals. We will travel as a group or help participants arrange their own air transportation.
Due to limited space, early registration is encouraged.


If you have any questions, please call Suddha at 773.327.3650 or 847.866.6812.

Yoga classes will be taught by Suddha Weixler, including meditation, and talks on the history of yoga and its philosophy. Suddha began studying yoga in 1978 on his first visit to India. He spent eight years in a monastic environment learning the classical system. He was certified in 1984 and is the Director of the Chicago Yoga Center. Initiated into Raja Yoga and Meditation in 1982 by Swami Narayanananda, his training includes classical Hatha, the Iyengar method and study of Ashtanga Yoga with Pattabhi Jois in South India, annually from 1995 through 1998. He is a student of Srivatsa Ramaswami of Chennai, and has been introduced into the Vinyasa Krama method of Sri T. Krishnamacharya. Suddha has been an Adjunct Associate Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago since 1989, and enjoys the art of photography.


Suddha's teaching style is precise, attentive and integrating. Students will be working at their own capacity. The workshop will include morning sitting meditation practice. The morning asana class will be deep and therapeutic, blending the essential aspects of the Iyengar, Ashtanga and Viniyoga traditions, as well as Anusara and Yin Yoga. The afternoon practice will include creative and dynamic Vinyasa sequences. The emphasis is on the integration of all physical, mental, energetic and spiritual faculties.
