Enjoy like-minded people in a beautiful environment
Sightseeing, relaxing & healthy food
The retreat includes 7 x vegetarian breakfasts (Sunday - Saturday) serving delicious, local produce & fresh fruits!
The arrival dinner on Saturday & farewell dinner on Friday are also included (fresh, local vegetarian or fish dishes can be pre ordered for those evenings).
Breakfast will be served at 10am on the terrace after we are done with the whole morning program. This later breakfast time will create a "fasting gap" (approx. 14 hr) between the last meal from the day before & the first one in the morning. Having a longer break between those two meals (intermitted fasting) plus starting the day with physical activity will:
- Lower Insulin Levels
- Boost your metabolism
- Increase Fat Burning
- Enhance Recovery & Reduce Inflammation
- Help with Cellular Regeneration
After the breakfast there will be additionally a daily dance party 1 hr on the terrace to continue the day with fun, healing movement & to boost our digestion process in a gentle way!
The rest of the meals (all lunches & 5 x remaining dinners) you will be free to plan on your own. In this way you will be able to explore the great variety of restaurants on the island & will have the full "Greek experience"!
All the fun in one beautiful place!

We will start the day with:
Iyengar inspired yoga 8 - 9.15am
Iyengar Yoga is oriented towards gradual but steady progress, rather than quick and fleeting results. By paying close attention to anatomical details and the alignment of each posture, Iyengar Yoga is the practice of precision.

A tea break 9.15 - 9.30am
Meditation/ breath practice 9.30 - 10am
What you can expect from this practice?
(1) We will ease in with active meditation techniques to prepare the body & mind for the passive part of "non doing".
(2) This will be followed by a breath work practice which will help you to bring attention to your own breathing habits & give you the opportunity to learn a technique to help you to improve it!
Optimized breathing can help you to:
- gain more energy in your daily life
- optimize your sport performances
- manage better stress in daily situations
- manage & improve a variety of conditions, including asthma, anxiety, and sleep
(3) Ending with Savasana Meditation.
