I LOVED THE IKARIA RETREAT! Maria is an excellent teacher. She teaches a holistic facial yoga with mixed techniques such as, massages, initiation to face pointer and facial yoga poses taken from the Face Yoga Method. Her personal signature, face yoga in water, is a novelty that’s so relaxing and so original! What’s more, Maria also gives a workout session in this wonderful natural setting every morning, showing the many bridges that exist between body and face: it’s a total holistic experience! I loved the breathing exercices! Last but not least, the property is magnificent, right in the middle of nature! You’ll be lulled to sleep by the sound of cicadas and the breeze in the tall pines! You’ll return from this Ikaria retreat full of energy and great routines for your face and body! And…. Maria is an angel!
