US Citizens traveling to Greece need a current passport. Check the expiration date to make sure that it does not expire within 6 months of your trip. Visas are not required.

Concerns about the European Economy have had very little effect on tourism in Greece, especially outside the capital. ATMs may limit the amount of money you may withdraw, so it is advisable to manage your cash accordingly. Most small businesses prefer cash transactions, but larger hotels and transport companies usually accept Master Card and Visa.

Stay abreast of any travel advisories through the US State Department Website.
The remote location of Amorgos works like a natural filter keeping crowds small and the island unspoiled. From the United States, you will fly to Athens. You should plan to arrive at least one day before the start of the retreat.

Option 1: Ferry from Athens

Ferries run between Athens and the ports of Katapola and Aegialis. If you take the ferry to and from Athens itself, the trip will last approximately 7.5 hours. The hotel will arrange transport to and from the ferry terminal for you.

Option 2: Ferry from Santorini or Naxos

Flights are plentiful and inexpensive between Athens and Santorini or Athens and Naxos and the Ferry ride from either one is approximately 1-3 hours. Travel typically takes place midday.

Sheila is an ERYT 500 certified teacher who has been practicing and teaching for many years. She is the founder of both Johns Creek Yoga and Duluth Yoga and relishes the opportunity to share the practice that has so powerfully transformed her life with as many people as she can. She completed her 200 hour training at Peachtree Yoga in Sandy Springs, Georgia and her 500 hour at Kripalu Yoga Center in Massachusetts. She holds additional certifications in Yin Yoga and Thai Yoga Bodywork. In addition to daily classes at both studios, she facilitates Yoga Teacher Training and offers retreats and workshops both locally and internationally. As a former Professor of American literature, Sheila loves to explore the intersection between philosophy, poetry, religion, nature and yoga and often brings that synthesis into her classes. She continues to take advantage of every opportunity to train and learn and will forever consider herself a student of this ancient and beautiful practice. She will be partnering in week one (8/24-8/31) with Vanessa Kent, a fellow Kripalu ERYT500 and extraordinary teacher from Martha’s Vineyard, MA. Vanessa and Sheila have worked together to craft creative, transformative retreats in the past and can’t wait to co-host this so soulful tour through the mythical terrain of Amorgos. On Week 2, Sheila will be joined by Dennis and Kathy Lang, authors of “Everything Matters” and internationally acclaimed teachers. Dennis and Kathy bring a powerful alchemy of music with live guitar, flute, and more coupled with gentle, intuitive movement.
