YOGA, QIGONG and SHIATSU in AGISTRI, GREECE with Annie Cryar and Nick Neter
The wonderful Rosy’s Little Village on Agistri Island in Greece, about an hour by boat from Athens, is the perfect location for a relaxing, rejuvenating holiday retreat with daily yoga sessions, an opportunity to experience a Shiatsu treatment, as well as Qigong, the gentle, meditative Eastern movement exercises. There will be plenty of free time to swim, snorkel, sunbathe, read and relax with delicious organic meals and stunning views! Sunshine every day with temperatures in the high 20’s, crystal clear seawater, fabulous beaches, extraordinary sunsets and time to explore this glorious pine covered island as well as other islands such as Aegina, Epidaurus, Poros, the famous Hydra and the Acropolis in Athens, and coming back early enough for a late swim!

THE NEXT WALK IN SHIATSU CLINICS
NEW for APRIL…..due to the popularity and success of the WALK IN SHIATSU CLINIC we are introducing another WALK IN SHIATSU and SEATED ACUPRESSURE CLINIC at the ST.LUKES PARISH CENTRE at STONE CROSS on the outskirts of Eastbourne.
We are now running three WALK IN SHIATSU CLINICS in and around Eastbourne, one in town at the YOGALIFE STUDIO, one on the seafront at the NATURAL FITNESS CENTRE and a new one at ST. LUKES PARISH CENTRE in Stone Cross.Please look at forthcoming events for more detailed information.
In these difficult times they are becoming more and more popular with a mixture of regular clients who love to receive SHIATSU but cannot afford regular prices and new clients who would like to experience SHIATSU at a cost of their choosing!These clinics provide a wonderful opportunity to have a deeply relaxing, revitalizing and healing half hour Shiatsu treatment from a fully qualified Shiatsu Practitioner for a small donation (suggested from£10). Incredible value. Booking is available if required but is generally a walk in and we shall endeavour to see you as soon as possible.
(Please note that from time to time the Shiatsu College 3rd year students will be working at the Shiatsu Clinics to give them valuable clinical experience)
Research increasingly shows that SHIATSU is a deeply relaxing and revitalising healing therapy, with an increasingly important role to play in public health! I have recently completed a research project at the University of Brighton as part of a B’Sc in Multidisciplinary Heathcare and explored the effects of Shiatsu on back pain. I hope to publish the results this year and they are very good!
And of course I am always available for treatments most weekdays, some Saturdays and some evenings most days of the week.
GENTLE EXERCISE AND RELAXATION Class
I am now running another Gentle Exercise and Relaxation class, rooted in the ancient practice of Qigong, at the WRVS at 24,Hyde Rd in town as well as one every MONDAY at the Natural Fitness Centre on the seafront.
This is a cheerful and uplifting class for all ages and abilities that encourages self healing, ease of movement, relaxation and tension release as well as a wonderful sense of well being. These gentle, relatively easy and effective exercises are rooted in the practice of Qigong, (cultivating energy), and are known to improve many aspects of health. These include
- Coordination–Balance-Flexibility-Concentration
- Posture and body awareness
- General aches and pains
- a sense of well being and more positive outlook on life
There is no lying down or mat work involved, all work being done upright or sitting on a chair. People with a variety of health problems including diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis and arthritis regularily use many of these exercises to improve their health. The first session is FREE.
QIGONG and MEDITATION Class
From Thursday, 19th April I shall be running a weekly Qigong and meditation class at St Luke’s Parish Centre from 8.15 to 9.15pm. All ages and abilities are welcome. The ancient practice of Qigong (cultivating energy) aligns breath, movement, and awareness for exercise, healing, and meditation. With roots in Chinese medicine, martial arts, and philosophy, Qigong is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance Qi . Qigong practice involves rhythmic breathing coordinated with slow stylized repetition of fluid movements with a calm mindfulstate. Qigong is practiced throughout China and worldwide. The first one is FREE. Thereafter £6.50. Please bring a cushion and blanket.
