Paros Yoga Shalla

The food next door (both the 2 placed were excellent) and the accomandation was very cosy and comfortable. The host, Kiky was so kind, warm serviceminded and welcoming. The location near (5 min walk) the fantastic & cosy town, Naoussa. About 10 min to the beach. The yoga classes was ok, but have experienced much better.

The quality of the teaching was great , very traditional and deep Yoga . I've been happy to meet Irena who is a beautiful, smiling and welcoming person.

We were very few people in classe ( because of the covid situation) so she had time to correct and have a eye one me all the time.

We had 3 personal sessions during my week, so she gave me advice for my lifestyle, focus on my low back and shoulders, and we elaborate a personal practice of 30 min I can do myself at home ( ans I find this very usefull!)

The schedule were perfect for me. A big session in the morning and a small one in the afternoon, like this you have time to enjoy to be outside during the afternoon.

Paros is amazing, beautiful... and the temperature in the studio is very fresh ( i was worried for too hot in august but was not the case!) And the view from there very nice. I had an ayurvedic massage with a Irena's friend who was absolutely fantastic!!

THANK YOU for everything! I feel mutch bettee after this week!

Only the yoga instruction

I liked every single moment. There are no words to explain, just magical: the place, people , Teacher and instructor

The studio was great

Some of the other outside instructors were very good, particularly the one who used to be a journalist (sadly I forgot her name). And the lady who did the chanting had a lovely positive aura. Even though chanting is not my thing, she made it really enjoyable by clearly transmitting all her radiant energy.

j'ai énormément apprécié la qualité des cours et la gentillesse des professeurs.

Irana avec sa présence attentive donne au studio de yoga une atmosphère toute particulière et très accueillante .

J'ai aimé le mélange entre des personnes venant prendre des cours depuis l'extérieur avec des participants, comme nous, pour une retraite de yoga.

Du yoga intensif, de belles rencontres, un emplacement idéal, une mer limpide et des dîners délicieux !

À recommander sans hésitations !

Irana is outstanding as yogi, as a host, and as a person. This is serious yoga, yet also with a relaxed and friendly environment, and in a beautiful village and island.

I definitely feel as though I’ve grown in many ways. From start to finish, I felt nurtured & cared for:

-loving, wise, experienced yoga teachers

-transforming & diverse yoga practice

-informative & useful curriculum & resources

-healthy delicious veggie / vegan meals

-gentle walk to & from accommodation & studio

-comfortable location to explore Paros

-helpful hotel staff who meet you & drop you off at the airport / port

This yoga 200 hours Hatha transformational and Vinyasa teacher training course in Paros, Greece has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life. The course provided all that was said in the website and much more! After a bad experience in a London teacher training course where there were almost 90 students, I decided to choose quality not quantity. There are so many websites about Yoga teacher training that I was very lucky and blessed to find Iranna. This review will not be enough to say how much I enjoyed this yoga teacher training course. I am so so grateful to Irana, my Yoga Master teacher.

Irana is an extraordinary yoga teacher. She has my admiration as a teacher. She is very professional, calm and a quality provider of yoga teaching. The course was so amazing; the asanas, the pranayama, the meditation, the mantras, the lectures, the alignments, ying-yoga, hatha transformational, vinyasa, aerial yoga and also dancing to get our bodies more limber and relaxed.  In addition Irana emphasised the importance of Yamas and Niyamas, the ethics of yoga, and the philosophy of Yoga to get into a deeper practice. The arrangement of the hotel, the vegetarian food and an amazing restaurant for dinner that Irana provided as part of the course, was fantastic. The teacher training was run in such a way that you really did not want to leave. I strongly recommend that if you want to start the journey of becoming a Yoga teacher take this Yoga teacher training course. 

This training was incredibly well thought out and taught by instructors who truly embody what yoga is all about. From the very first day, I felt like I was in exactly the right place and that feeling continued throughout the whole course. I left feeling really confident in all the information that I had gained and excited to share it with other aspiring yogis.

WOW. Plain and simple. This experience was beyond wonderful! I am so happy that the universe led me to Paros to do my training with Irana. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Irana is an amazing teacher with such wisdom and passion for what she does. She not only encourages her students to continue learning and always seek their highest potential but she does so herself! She goes back to India every year to keep training because there is always something to learn and to improve - that just goes to show the type of person she is and she practices what she preaches!

The food was beyond words - GOURMET vegetarian food every single day that kept the entire group so excited and curious to see what the next day would have offered. Paros itself is an underrated island - the people are so kind and lovely, the beaches are beautiful and overall I will definitely go back!

I feel like this training was a breath of fresh air and the beginning of the best years of my life.

I really enjoyed the variety of yoga classes offered by Irana, Connie & other teachers at Yoga Shala Paros. You can go for every single one of them on the schedule, or choose the specific classes you want to try. I loved the vinyasa classes L3 mostly but also the Iyengar, aerial yoga and tai chi thaught by other teachers were great! Meditation is also offered several times throughout the week which is fantastic.

The location of the yoga studio is close to the hotel where I was staying, so it' s comfortable to walk to and from classes. Breakfast and dinner is included in the package, which is nice. Dinner is at Open Garden restaurant and I had delicious vegetarian meal (salads, mushroom risotto, Greek starters as tatziki, aubergine dip every day. The chef seems to be flexible to your preferences and adjusts the meals (vegan, vegetarian, etc.). I had grilled fish one evening and grilled prawns another day which was tasty.

Overall, I was very happy with the retreat, the yoga practice, accommodation and experiencing Paros!
