Greece: 2 weeks (Yoga workshop on Lesvos)

If you want a different and more active vacation, try a yoga workshop. No doubt there are some that are less rigourous, but this one kept us very busy! Monday through Friday, we attended 2 classes per day: 9:30 - 12:30 and 19:00 - 21:00, Sat, we had 1 class: 10:00 - 12:00; and Sun was a free day. When you add in walking to the yoga studio (approx 20 min each way), you can see that we were busy about 7hr per day! Just time to eat and have a little rest by the pool in between. But it was a great break to be in one place for 2 weeks and our hotel and the island were perfect.

Through this workshop, we were introduced to Angela Farmer and Victor van Kooten, http://www.angela-victor.com/. They are both renowned yoga teachers although Angela is more famous. What a wonderful experience. We have stayed in touch, and because they own property in Sidney, BC, we have seen them social several times as well as attended additional workshops they offer in Sidney. Karen organized the Sidney workshops in 2008 and 2010.
