Location was amazing-we were placed in the Aegialis Hotel which was amazing! The food excellent and group, larger than expected all got on well together, There was plenty of space if you wanted to be on your own or with group and days flew in between study, dancing, hiking, swimming, beach and even singing!

the new people I'v met

To discover the yin yoga, postures and philosophie according to them.

Amorgos is beautiful and grounding for body and mind. Lovely crowd of women in all ages in a beautiful location. Great buffet in the morning at Searock and lunch was served at the hotel and dinner was a buffet also at the beautiful hotel. We had access to the SPA at the hotel - a lovely SPA with great treatments and discounts on their yoga clothes too and a new yogamat was included for each one of us along with a 30 minute Swedish massage.

Transport back and forth from Searock to the hotel was provided several times a day and we practised yoga both places.

We had three different teachers, Miriam, Evelpis and the maneger of the SPA which gave us different approaches to yin yoga which was really good.

Miriam is a very dedicated student, teacher and practitioner of the yoga lifestyle and I also loved her philosophical approach to her classes.

Evelpis was very calm in her approach to yin. She also took us to a beautiful island trip to the beach 🏖️ which was very lovely of her.

The maneger she had a more restorative teaching to her classes and the variety was great.

A photo shoot on the rooftop of the hotel was also part of the whole experience and education.

We went to the monestry with the most wonderful view of The Great Blue.

Thank you to all staff for making this such a beautiful and wonderful experience you truly take your job seriously and always a smile on your face☺️

Overall an amazing and heartfelt experience and I would love to do it all over again❣️

Miriam does this training with so much knowledge, wisdom, patience and love. I learned so much and soaked up a lot of her experience and yogic mindset. I will return!

The location at the hill overlooking the sea is just breathtaking and the hotel is beautiful and well looked after.

This was the most special and transformative experience. It was more than I hoped a ytt could be. Miriam is an amazing, generous, kind, and intuitive teacher. Amorgos is a magical place and everyone at Aegialis hotel is so kind: from the waitresses, to the front desk people, and the housekeepers. The food is so so good - well-balanced meals with lots of vegetables and local produce. You feel the care of the island and the people through every meal.

Aegialis is the most conducive environment to disconnect from the outside noise and connect with yourself. You feel part of a family, and when leaving after two weeks, I felt I had been there ages due to all the internal work I had done in such a short time. Kalliovi and her Yin classes were also amazing and deeply restorative. I will definitely be back to complete the 200 hours. If you are hesitating about this retreat, just book it! It is the best experience you can gift yourself.

Miriam’s Yin Yoga Teacher Training exceeded all my expectations. Her deep knowledge, passion, and non-judgemental nature create a truly inspiring learning environment. Miriam shares her experience with so much warmth and authenticity — it's rare to find someone who teaches in such a grounded, generous way. The programme is packed with valuable insights into yoga philosophy and yin practice, making it ideal both for personal growth and as a solid foundation to begin teaching.

Evelpis was an absolute gem, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable with her attention to detail. The island is breathtaking, and the hotel — run by Stamatis, Kalliovi and his lovely family — felt like a peaceful sanctuary. Their friendliness and care made everyone feel completely at home. Everyone from the Theo (The shalas’ manager) to Arta (the restaurant manager) to the waitress (Anna, Poppy, Fani, etc) and receptionists, and Sidney were all AMAZING! I felt so much at home.

The hotel itself is beautiful, with a fantastic spa perfect for rest and reflection after classes and practises. It is so closed to the beach and town centre too.

This programme gave me so much more than I had hoped for — not just learning, but genuine connection, kindness, and unforgettable memories. If you're considering it, go for it. You absolutely won’t be disappointed.

The island is a bit far but worth the journey, it’s truely a magical island. The hotel was really nice, the rooms are spacious and clean, if you get a far room you’ll have a good walk. All the staff are amazing, so nice & kind. Miriam was fantastic teacher on all aspects; physical, philosophy & she helped all of us to dig deep. Kalliovi yin classes are so gentle & perfect. Love both teachers. I’ll come again when I don’t know. If it’s up to me I would make this a yearly trip. Last but not least I met beautiful souls, I was blessed that the group I was with were very sweet & committed.

very sweet

I felt at home the moment I arrived, the energy was beautiful. The warmth from the hotel staff and everyone within the area in the local towns made me feel safe and relaxed. Being by the ocean was so healing and the beaches were under a ten minute walk away, the location couldn’t be more perfect. If you are looking for a place to escape into pure bliss Amorgos, Angelis Hotel is the place you should stay. The YTT package came with all the food you would like to eat and drink, the timings of service were perfect. Very healthy and good choices. Their chefs are originally from Indian so you can imagine the amount of love they put into the dish’s they prepare. So incredibly tasty! You can tell when something is made with love. Waking up every morning to a structured routine was something I needed, it gave me routine, energy and motivation. The shalas were phenomenal, they are deep cleaned every day. It was the perfect environment to engage your mind and work your body. There are many shalas on the grounds and each one offers spectacular views. The teachers make sure it’s a place you can feel grounded while taking in new information. Miriam, Kaliovi and Evelpis were the kindest people I have ever met. I felt so much love and understanding, being taught by them has given me enlightenment to the person I aspire to be. I came into YTT to become a yoga teacher and left with so much more. Thank you to my teachers and all of the staff at Amorgos Angelis Hotel.

Miram is a wonderful teacher. She teaches with her heart.

Everything was amazing , from accommodation to the practical classes and the philosophy aspect i enjoyed every moment.

Everyone was so accommodating.

Die besondere liebevolle Atmosphäre, Alles in hoher Qualität .

The island , the facility and of course the teachings

J’ai beaucoup aimé la philosophie du yoga et la façon que Miriam l’a transmise!

Les cours de yoga ont été donné avec bcp de respect et de motivation pour que chacun a son niveau était à l’aise.

Mille merci!!

Everything from booking, to arrival was amazing and you can tell this team do everything from the heart! Was truly a life changing experience and I was blown away from the value of money

Amazing AMAZING Villa - you have the privacy, sea view and just a quick walk to town/beach :)

Staff was incredibly helpful and patient. The room was cleaned wery well every day, was air conditioned what is so appreciated! Fantastic teachers (Miriam and Kaliovi) and managers of the hotel: they truely care about the students and their experience. Overall, great teacher training!

It was an unforgettable experience.

Our teacher was very competent and sensitive. She also embodies the knowledge she passes on!

We were very well looked after by the hotel owners. There was a very familiar atmosphere.

Thanks for everything !

I booked this quite last minute as I had time off between jobs and I didn’t expect how much I would love it.

Miriam is fantastic, wise and the philosophy teachings quickly became my favourite part of the day.

The hotel and accommodation was incredible, the food was great, healthy and nourishing. Very good facilities, lovely pool, spa and easy walks to the beach.

The staff if super attentive and planned lots of great activities for our days off.

The asana practices in the morning were amazing and the practical/theory lessons were very informative.

I finished my 100hrs wishing I could stay and complete the 200hrs, so I am definitely coming to next year.

I think its very well planned, the lessons are engaging and you really feel a shift in your core by surrounding yourself with likeminded people in a special island.

Starting with the hotel, food and accommodations, the views are just breathtaking, the food was excellent, the staff was so friendly and the spa was truly luxurious.

To the program, what an all around positive and enlightening experience. Miriam brings so much to the table. She is authentic and true, supportive and knowledgeable, kind and willing to help wherever she can. Hannah also taught us so much. Through her anatomy classes to teaching yoga, she is a one of a kind gem. She was so supportive and there for any questions or concerns we had as we went through this journey.

Everyone involved in the program was truly present throughout our stay and there for us.

If you are looking into teacher training, look no further because this program and Amorgos itself is an experience of a lifetime. It will give you all the tools you need to move forward on your journey. My soul was truly touched.

The location is amazing! From the the top of the hill you can see the little village of Aegialis surrounded by mountains and the vivid blue of the aegiean sea. A positive energy fills the place and I could relax and enjoy every moment of my stay. The Yoga course was intense and accurate so as the philosophy and the anatomy lessons.

Miriam and the team went above and beyond to make the retreat a special experience. From taking us on outings to familiarize ourselves with the island and its history to organizing a fire ceremony on the rooftop overlooking the Aegean Sea, Aegialis truly is an escape. Learning technique and philosophy from someone who lives - and loves - what they teach makes a huge difference. I plan to go back for more one day!

The spa (plus massage!) and meals were also really nice. So many options, especially during breakfast.

Le lieu authentique et paisible se prête totalement à une pratique et un enseignement du yoga en toute sérénité.

L'équipe est formidable. Miriam est un professeur de très grande qualité.

Je recommande absolument

Honestly I had no complaints. The yoga and hotel staff were top notch. I loved the location. I went on many walks after yin to traditional villages, different beaches, churches, and up mountain roads. The program is well thought out and I learned a lot. Miriam was always teaching us in one way or another. Addi did a lot of extra meditations and such. Hannah was a great anatomy teacher and we always ended up in long discussion about the human body. The tours were fantastic, just half day tours (you'll appreciate the other half of the day to relax or do your own thing) but the guides were excellent. The free massage was great and access to the spa was very nice to have and aided in our body maintenance. I left the experience with an awareness of a lot of imbalance in my life and a motivation and groundwork to live a more disciplined, spiritual, and balanced lifestyle.

This 200 hour yoga training in Amorgos was challenging, transformative, beautiful, and special. This training helped me establish a regular daily meditation and personal yoga practice in addition to giving me the ability to pursue teaching. Miriam is a gifted teacher who also leads by example. At this training, we were given all healthy meals by a joyful kitchen staff, access to a tranquil spa, philosophy, anatomy and physiology, business and daily yoga practice with complimentary yin yoga; a deeply nurturing style. Evelpis and Adi, also instructors helped lead our training with knowledge and grace; and were always available for questions any time. The front desk staff also helped me with any questions and communicated in a clear and timely manner. This school cares and does it with true pride and love as it’s mission. Thank you Aegialis school of Yoga.

P.S. just note that if you travel in the off season, ferries back to Athens will not leave every day, so consider when booking your flight. Flights are also available from nearby airport at Naxos.

Miriam is one of the most caring and thoughtful teachers. She is so passionate about Yoga practice and the Philosophy which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable! I never thought I’d be able to recite phrases in Sanskrit but because of Miriam I was able to pass my YTT with little struggle!

The overall experience at the Aegialis School of Yoga was amazing! It was an incredible journey, i gained a lot of wisdom and strength in my body. Everybody in the Aegialis School of Yoga and at Aegialis Hotel and Spa is very kind and warm-hearted, it felt like family since i arrived. The rooms and facilities are very luxurious and the Spa is perfect for relaxing after training and classes. The food is amazing and very nourishing with a lot of different options.

What made this whole experience very special is Miriam. Her classes are amazing, my mind and body felt always incredible after the yoga classes. How Miriam shared her wisdom and knowledge about philosophy with us was very inspiring, which made it very easy for me to listen and be focused. I’m very grateful for the experience and everything i’ve gained during this Yoga Teacher Training and to be now part of the Aegialis School of Yoga family.
