Embark on a Journey of Mind-Body Transformation
Dates: October 18th - 23rd, 2024
Location: Amara Hotel, Limassol, Cyprus
Discover the Embodied Mind Hub Experience
Escape to the beautiful island of Cyprus and immerse yourself in a unique retreat designed to reconnect your mind and body. At Embodied Mind Hub, we combine the transformative power of Pilates, Feldenkrais, and Applied Movement Neurology to offer you a personalized journey towards improved health, body awareness, and overall well-being.
Human movement is generated between macro-movements and micro-movements. In a global perspective, exercise is macro- movements and micro-movements are the fundamental focused movements. These movements are necessary for improved function, ease of pain and recalibration of the nervous system
Whether you’re new to these practices or looking to deepen your understanding, our retreat provides a supportive environment to explore and integrate these powerful methodologies into your daily life.

Retreat Theme: how to Move With Ease
The theme of this retreat is “Understanding Movement of the Hip and Synergy with the Pelvis.”
Movement is not a purely physical activity. The mental side of movement is how your brain understands where your body is in space and the knowing of how to move our different parts relative to each other to reach a different desired configuration is fundamental in how we move, respond and perform in life.
Your hip and pelvis are central to your body’s movement, linking the upper and lower body. By learning how to optimize their function, you can alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and increase overall strength. Our daily workshops will provide practical tools and exercises to help you understand and improve the health of your hips, pelvis, and lower back.
How we will do it?
We will offer daily experiential somatic workshop from 10am to 1:30pm - will practice movement, will play, explore with curiosity and we will learn how to feel and use our whole self!
The retreat will be run by myself and my colleague Erifyli Siskou.
