Friday, November 7, 2025 | 6:00–8:00 PM | $35 per person
Body Wisdom Yoga Studio
Sip, Learn, and Live the Ikarian Way
Join George and Eleni Karimalis, founders of the Ikarian Cooking School and featured in Netflix’s Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones, for an intimate evening exploring one of Ikaria’s most beloved traditions — tea as medicine, ritual, and connection.
In the Blue Zone of Ikaria, Greece, tea is far more than a beverage. It’s a daily ritual that nourishes body and soul, bringing people together in moments of calm and community. Herbal teas made from wild-grown sage, mint, oregano, rosemary, and mountain herbs are known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and heart-supportive properties—and they’re often credited as one of the quiet secrets behind the island’s remarkable longevity.
What You’ll Experience
• A guided tasting of authentic Ikarian herbal teas, prepared by George and Eleni
• An interactive lecture on the science and traditions of tea in the Blue Zones
• Practical insights into how daily rituals — from what you drink to how you connect — can add years and joy to your life
• Time for reflection, conversation, and connection with others on the same journey toward health and balance
Why Join Us
Discover how the simplest daily practices — a cup of tea, a moment of stillness, a shared conversation — can have profound effects on longevity and well-being. This evening blends ancient wisdom with modern science, offering you tools and inspiration to bring Blue Zone living into your own home.
Relax, restore, and sip your way to a longer, happier life — the Ikarian way.

Move Like the Longest-Lived People on Earth
Before the day begins, start your morning the Ikarian way — with gentle movement, breath, and mindful connection. Join George Karimalis, founders of the Ikarian Cooking School and featured in Netflix’s Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones, for a longevity-inspired movement experience drawn from the daily rhythms of Ikaria, Greece — one of the world’s original Blue Zones.
In Ikaria, exercise isn’t something scheduled or strenuous — it’s simply woven into life. People move naturally throughout the day: walking hills, tending gardens, cooking, dancing, and connecting. This class channels that same energy — fluid, joyful, and restorative movement designed to support longevity, vitality, and balance.
What You’ll Experience
• A guided, low-impact movement practice rooted in Blue Zone principles of natural activity and mindful presence
• Breathing, stretching, and mobility sequences that restore balance and energy
• Insights from George on how daily movement, posture, and joyful motion contribute to long-term health
• A light, uplifting atmosphere — open to all ages and fitness levels

No gym. No pressure. Just authentic movement that feels good and supports you from the inside out.
Learn how to incorporate natural, effortless activity into your routine — the same kind of motion that helps Ikarian islanders stay strong, flexible, and full of life well into their 90s.
Move with purpose. Breathe with gratitude. Live longer — the Blue Zone way.
