Perhaps it's the water of Lake Vouliagmeni (just outside Athens), kind of like a Japanese onsen, or I guess a Spa. Naturally heated, a constant 24 degrees C, high mineral content, your buoyant, relaxed, joints seem loose allowing me to pop straight into lotus without hands and just float about. Tried to sit on the bottom holding onto weeds and at one point, when I got the balance right, it felt like levitating.
If you want a similar effect then a floatation tank isn't a bad substitute, which reminds me I have one more ticket to use up.

Dear Grimmly
David Williams said that yogis of yore used to get into yoginidrasana and float down the ganges from one ashram to the next one they were going to visit. seems you're in good company. :)
Cheers,
Arturo
Awesome.
Looking at the pictures has already a relaxing impact.
:)
Nice place....
Now that's the kind of yoga story you want to hear : ) Thanks for that Arturo. I actually tried to get into yoganidrasana ( reclining, both legs behind head ) but kept tipping over. Would have been nice i think if i'd managed to get in it. Might try next week in the floatation tank...just to see.
Thanks Ursula, felt comfortable actually and yes, really nice place, perfect break from the hustle and bustle of Athens.
We went to see my old Heidegger professor, his daughter has just moved to Munich for work, was telling him what a beautiful city it is.
