About our Course

YOGA FUSION SHALA & URBAN YOGA HOUSE HOSTEL & RETREAT The workshop will be hosted by Yoga Fusion Shala, centrally located in the heart of Ioannina, right next to the old city. As an integral part of the Urban Yoga House Retreat, this haven operates as a yogic Zen oasis within the cultural center of historical Ioannina. Dedicated exclusively to the students of the workshop, both Yoga Fusion Shala and Urban Yoga House offer yogic dormitories and private rooms, meticulously designed to embody the spirit of simplicity, peace, and tranquility. Here, amidst spotless spaces, you'll find the perfect environment to immerse yourself in the transformative practice of yoga. Experience the serenity and profound beauty of Ioannina, Greece, as you embark on a transformative journey nestled in the heart of what was once the ''Capital of Enlightenment'' in the mountainous province of Epirus, Ioannina is a haven of natural splendor and historical richness. The retreat unfolds within the captivating old part of the city, a treasure trove of folklore architecture that vividly echoes Ioannina's storied past. Enclosed by fortified walls, the city and its ancient castle create an atmosphere where time seems to stand still, inviting you on a mysterious journey through the ages. Perched atop the city is the oldest Byzantine castle in Greece, the Castle of Ioannina, offering breathtaking panoramic views that may compel you to linger indefinitely. Below, the enchanting Pamvotida lake, with its lakeside pathway adorned with plane trees, unfolds as the true jewel of Ioannina, a sanctuary for nature enthusiasts. Traverse the lake on small boats to reach the serene "Nisaki" island, a local gem surrounded by the mirror-like waters reflecting the perpetual beauty of Mitsikeli mountain. The tranquility of this setting is nothing short of majestic, providing a peaceful retreat for the soul. Venture beyond Ioannina to discover nearby wonders, including the ancient oracle of Dodoni, the picturesque town of Metsovo, the charming Zagorochoria villages, and the awe-inspiring Gorge of Vikos. Ioannina's strategic location also grants easy access to popular summer destinations such as Lefkas and Corfu islands, along with the pristine beaches of Parga, Syvota, and Preveza.
