Yoga Skyros Academy

Im Yoga Skyros Center wird Wert auf persönliche Betreuung gelegt. Die Schulungen finden in Kleinstgruppen, auch als 1:1 statt.

Die spirituelle Grundlagen der Lektoren und ihre Lebenserfahrung sind besonders gut.

Les cours de yoga avec Carmen et ses conseils avisés. Le massage avec Elsa.

This yoga therapist teacher training was a life changing experience, the passion and knowledge from the teachers was something clear in their ethos. Hara, Carmen and Dietmar are a team dedicated to creating yoga teachers that can understand true essence of what yoga is.

The food and facilities were fantastic with cook/cleaner Elsa there to make fantastic lunches according to a weekly menu created. Materials for breakfast were provided for you to cook what you liked, washing and shower facilities too were all fine.

Mountain for hiking close by, high street for food close by, bakery 2 mins away and beach 30mins away. Metro closest is Elliniko and is a 30 mins walk 15 min can ride

The yoga was great, the environment was relaxing and the people were welcoming. There was so much to do if you don’t mind exploring.

Carmen and Dietmar have offered me peace, love, and yoga. The place is a house of harmony and friendship. You can also get advice or massage, and explore the nearby mountains and beaches. It is one of the best ways to visit Athens...

Das warme willkommen, die gemütliche gemeinsam genutzte Wohnung, die Platz für Gemeinsamkeit und Ruhe für sich selbst gleichzeitig bietet und die Yoga-Stunden auf dem schönen Rooftop mit Blick aufs Meer und die Berge ☀️ besonders ist auch die Flexibilität von Carmen & Dieter, die eigentlich alles möglich macht!

Ich habe zum zweitem Mal an diesem Retreat teilgenommen. Beide Male haben mich wieder in mein inneres Gleichgewicht gebracht. Ich bin Carmen und Dietmar für den herzlichen Empfang sehr dankbar. Beide haben sehr viel Erfahrung, die sie gerne mit den Teilnehmenden teilen. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage in Gylfada ist Top.

Le lezioni di yoga ottime. La compagnia simpatica. Il cibo buono.

I was in Athens on Vacation with my family. I needed a place that I could disconnect and work on my soul and body.

I found the academy online and booked it.

It was an amazing experience. I found peace, love and a community.

The accommodation was beautiful and the vibe in the house was calm and joyful. The proximity to Athens was exactly what I was looking and the beach within walking distance was a plus. It was wonderful to be taught by both Carmen and Dietmar who are impressively knowledgeable and share it generously.

Everything was wonderful. The house was very beautiful and clean, the instructors excellent both of them, organized, smells nice, know what they doing, with love.

I had such a positive, restorative experience at Yoga Skyros Academy. The morning yoga in the sunshine with a view of the sea was great, as was the afternoon yoga. I also benefitted from the self-healing aspects of this retreat, like the Bach Flower Remedies, the kinesiology and the massage. I appreciate the relaxed pace and the flexibility of Carmen and Dietmar. I also enjoyed visiting Athens, which is not too far from the retreat by car, and walking to the beach, which takes about 35 minutes. Overall, I would highly recommend this retreat.

My self healing yoga workshop was a bliss for body and mind! Thank you for your kind words and help in making my stay perfect Carmen and Dietmar! I received vital tooles to continue this relaxed state at my busy life back home, which makes my visit even more valuable. Thanks again and we will for sure meet again in the future!

The two students that were staying there at the time.

On meeting the two leading instructors, Carmen and Dietmar, I was graced with the vision of what is possible with the correct discipline and dedication. Carmen is a yogi master, and Dietmar greatly understands the human condition.

The accommodation was exceptional, which was topped off by a beautiful roof terrace with views of the sea in the distance on one side and views of the mountains on the other.

The reason I attended was due to back pain, and I discovered many yoga postures that eased that pain. Also, due to stress in my personal life, I've had difficulty sleeping for over a year, and each night I stayed there, I had a sound night's sleep, which I can only attribute to the two yoga classes per day and the treatments.

The treatments were excellent, and the massage I recieved on the third day was probably the best massage I have had in my life. The treatment that impressed me the most was the kinesiology, which was performed by Dietmar. A truly spiritual experience.

Final analysis from the instructors informed me that I had spent too much energy seeking the spiritual path and had neglected the body, and that for true enlightenment you need both to be aligned. And they were correct, I have neglected my body, but during my time there I discovered that by practising yoga regularly and investing in treatments to heal my body then I will be made whole.

Thanks to all the staff for an unforgettable experience. :o)

Having complete the 200 hour Teacher training coarse, I found that I needed more to be able to teach. With Carmen and ther tams help I am ready and able to take classes. Its wasn't just a course but a retreat and a holiday. Every second was a joy.

I loved everything. The most transformative experience I’ve ever had. I have been to another Hatha Yoga teacher training but this one was beyond what I needed. Royalty treatment. So grateful for Carmen and Dietmar for their love for teaching and devotion to wanting to help. If you have recently been through a divorce, difficult time in your life come here. Money well spend.

Yoga Skyros Academy is the right place to be for those who want to get a deeper understanding of Yoga as a whole. It is not a place where you just learn to perform the asanas. It is an academy with high standards and it takes time effort and devotion to complete the training. It is challenging and demanding but this is what also makes it so rewarding! Carmen and Dietmar are wonderful hosts and teachers showing great respect and understanding for each individual's needs. They can navigate through challenging circumstances and on top they seam to do it effortlessly!

Whether you choose a training course or a retreat plan Yoga Skyros provides an overall excellent experience!

I liked accommodation and although location was a bit further away from everything their assistant was nice and gave us a lift to the beach also did do yoga on the beach

It was always a good vibe and the group constillation was perfect. Every day was another yoga theme, it was very diversified. Would do it again! Big recommend!

The atmosphere was very friendly and fun and the instruction very good and informative and I was able to keep up despite my being a novice, stiff yogi . Carmen tailored the lessons very well to the mixed ability group. Dietmar definitely sparked my interest with the Bach flower remedy and kinesiology. I’d like to find out more about these practices

Carmen and Dietmar are two very warm, kind souls who sense the needs of their guests with a lot of empathy and take care of them intensively or, depending on their needs, give them their freedom. I received an incredibly warm welcome; after my suitcase was lost on the flight, Carmen lent me some of her things to greet me and did everything she could, to give me a positive feeling.

The yoga lessons were very varied and were also based on the sometimes very different needs of the guests. In some lessons we held the asanas for a very long time, other lessons were more focused on the mental aspects and others were very moving with overhead postures.The school assistant is also an extremely sweet, warm-hearted person who takes great care to answer all of the participants' questions. I haven't regretted being here for a second. Quite the opposite: I've been thinking about finally doing yoga training for ages and probably wouldn't have been able to make a better choice. The journey on the way to becoming a yoga teacher was more than just a certificate, it was a journey to myself. Incredibly much love for the whole experience.

Nice accomodation both for the lessons and the stay (in particular the rooftop terras in the morning); very experienced and warmharted teachers; mix between retreat and training students; from the location easy access to the centre of Athens, beaches, beautiful lake, restaurants, the mountains …

I guess my wife and I knew we were looking for confirmation that we needed to take control of our bodies and minds, to give us the best chance of making the most our lives as we move forward from the need to work, to choosing the next fulfilling chapter.

SKYROS provided all and more than expected. Its blend of students with 2-4 guests and limited numbers of 10, ensured a very personal and dedicated approach to both students and guests.

I was surprised how well the integration of students and guests blended to add considerably to the overall experience and understanding of why we embark on this journey.

What Carmen & Dietmar offer is certainly not a package holiday with a bit of Yoga and Massage thrown it. They are serious about what they do and very professional, but delivered with a great human touch. Meet them half way and they will add much to your lives as they did ours.

We can only wish them well and look forward to our paths crossing again.

Athen eine Stadt am Meer spürbar in der Energie und Lebendigkeit

Die Unterkunft sauber gepflegt - ein Schulungshaus mit der Möglichkeit Ruhe zu finden. Das zusammen leben mir den anderen Studenten friedlich achtsam .

Hier konnte ich wirklich eine Basis an Yogi Wissen erlangen. Namaste

Ich habe bei Yoga Skyros für 5 Tage gebucht. Trotz meiner Gehörlosigkeit bin ich im grossen und ganzen sehr zufrieden.

Ich habe in den letzten Jahren verschiedene Yogakurse besucht und war nicht immer ganz zufrieden. Oft musste ich selber schauen und bekam zu wenig Unterstützung. Carmen und Dietmar habe es BESTENS gemacht! So dass ich vieles mitverfolgen konnte. Ich bekam dort viele Tipps und fühlte mich in der kleinen Gruppe SEHR WOHL. So konnte ich besser verstehen und mitmachen. Carmen und Dietmar sind sehr Fachkompetent und geben viel Vertrauen. Sie nehmen mein Unwohlsein, meine Ängste und Trauer ernst und zeigen auf, welcher Weg für mich gut ist. Yoga &Meditation und Bachblüten ist ein guter Weg.

Die beiden sind wirklich Spitze wie das Matterhorn oder die Dufourspitze.

Man spürt auf den ersten Blick dass sie ein gutes Herz ❤️ haben.

Danke für alles!

Ich komme gerne wieder:)

In one sentence I loved everything.

I attended the Wake Up Yogi I Programm for 1 week. The Workshop does exactly what it promises. In my case I wanted to be able to organize my own yoga flows and enrich my yoga philosophy knowledge, but I also wanted to relax and disconnect from the mess of day to day life. I can say I was in the perfect place.

Carmen is just amazing. She can adapt the teachings to everyone's level and knowledge. It was a privilege for me to listen to her teachings and be around her positive energy. I didn't have a moment of bordeom during my stay, not even for 1 min.

I also met a lot of nice people in there - they were very helpfull with those less experienced. I also found interesting our discussion about different yoga topics and how we perceive the messages differently according to our level of perception and emotional maturity.

Accommodation - the location is very nice and quiet. But the best part of it is that is full of positivity and friendliness.

Food - I didn't miss anything during my stay. Carmen and Ditmar take care to provide the best for the breakfast and help you to get the necessary supplies for the other meals. You can also go in the city, it's a 10 min walk through a quiet area and the restaurants are nice.

I honestly didn't realize how much I appreciated my stay there until I had to go and I bacame very emotional.

Now i'm very happy for choosing this Programm it really woke up the yogi in me. ❤️❤️❤️

The couple is so nice and knowledgeable.

If the see you need any help the will help you :)

It was a great experience

The retreat was fluid, adapting to range of people, including some for teaching certification. The yoga sessions offered variety, allowing for fun, as well as physical challenge. Carmen is authentic in her practice. She is a good teacher and spiritual guide.

The people I met.

Dietmar und Carmen sind großartige Lehrer! Sehr empfehlenswert!

Danke für alles, es war alles suuuper!!! Die Ausbildungusserst professionell alles super nett und zuvorkommend und wir hatten riesen viel Spass! Werde gerne wieder kommen!!

Ich bin sehr dankbar und glücklich, dass ich die Erfahrung meines 4 -wöchigen Aufenthaltes bei Yoga Skyros machen konnte. Es gab Höhen und Tiefen. Es war eine lebensbereichernde Erfahrung, eine transformative Hatha Yoga Lehrer Ausbildung, die Prozesse der Veränderung eingeleitet hat, sobald ich mich geöffnet habe. Ein Veränderungsprozess ist nicht immer einfach, innere Dämonen und Trigger werden geweckt. Ehrlich hinzuschauen und die eigene Verantwortung ohne zuviel Ego und Verurteilung dem Prozess gegenüber zu haben, ist anstrengend, aber im Nachhinein bin ich sehr dankbar. Dankbar für all die Menschen, die ich dort treffen durfte, das Teaching von Carmen und Salvatore ist ein integrales Training, das herausfordert und Fokus sowie Zentrierung erfordert. Wie gesagt es gab Höhen und Tiefen, Momente der Wut und Verzweiflung, der Verurteilung und des Opfermodus. Im Endeffekt hat mir das die Augen geöffnet für Wachstum und “ equanimity”. Mensch zu sein bringt Fehler mit sich und das schöne daran ist, dass die Yogamatte eine Übungsmatte ist und ich weiter üben und lernen durfte. Das Motto atme, relaxe, beobachte ist Seelenbalsam und sehr wertvoll. Persönlich bin ich sehr dankbar für die Erfahrung. Eine echte Lebensschule... Danke aus tiefstem Herzen

Carmen und Dietmar sind aussergewöhnlich in ihrem Tun und bringen einen/-e aus der Komfortzone-und genau das bringt viele Prozesse auf allen Ebenen in Gang. Danke für diese wunderbare Erfahrung!-hope to see you again!

Ich habe meinen Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Es ist total familiär und man ist sehr gut aufgehoben. Die Yoga Stunden haben mich begeistert, abwechslungsreich,lehrreich und einfach wundervoll. Auch der Retreat von Dietmar war sehr gut organisiert, professionell und hilfreich. Dietmar und Carmen waren sehr bemüht, dass es uns gut geht. Man lebt wie in einer Familie und es war total harmonisch. Der Weg zum Strand sind ca 15 geh Minuten und total easy. Für weiter entfernte Ausflüge haben wir uns extrem günstig ein taxi geteilt. Ich würde es wieder machen:)

Everything was even better as expected

Tolles Haus, tolle Lehrerin und toller Kinesiologe! Ich habe mich während meines Aufenthaltes total wohl gefühlt - Konnte geistig und seelisch abschalten und neue Kraft tanken für meine neuen Aufgaben. Man hat sich beinahe wie zuhause gefühlt, konnte die Küche nach Belieben nutzen, draußen im Liegestuhl etwas die Sonne genießen oder in einem Buch versinken. Ich freu mich schon auf meinen nächsten Besuch!

The atmosphere at Yoga Skyros it’s amazing, you feel the positive energy as soon as you enter.

The house is just beautiful and the bedrooms clean and welcoming. It is located in a quiet area which offers a lot of possibilities for walk along the sea or up to beautiful hills.

Carmen and Dietmar are extremely supportive, encouraging and make you feel at home.The treatments are professional and personal. It’s the perfect place to relax, learn more about yoga and get new energy.
