You're invited to join us for our 5th Greek Grace Retreat, hosted on the pristine Cycladic island of Amorgos. Hosted by Kristina Headrick and Lulu Soni.
Timed around peak summer and LEO Season, a joyful time of year and the season of the heart, this retreat is an immersion into movement, breath, Greek culture, local herbs, journaling, and more. A taste of authentic Greek culture and local intel is woven throughout: we'll hike to a famous monastery overlooking the sea, swim, explore traditional Cycladic villages, Greek dance, and of course - eat delicious fresh Greek food. There's also ample time to simply be by the pool or one of the two beaches easily accessible from our hotel.
Amorgos retains old-school Greek hospitality and culture. The nature and views are striking; the water is pristine and oh-so blue (the cult French film The Big Blue was filmed here); and, in general, it has a sweet energy that calls people back year after year. The island is also Kristina's summer home, so we'll infuse this retreat with some locals-only flavor and intel.
Every day, we'll gather for one or two practices (depending on the day’s activities) designed to meet the moment. Some will be energizing and playful, others slow, grounding, and deeply restorative. Throughout the week, you'll explore Vinyasa, Katonah Yoga®, Yin, Restorative Yoga, Sculpt, breathwork, meditation, dance, and somatic practices, with plenty of space to modify, challenge yourself, rest, and simply listen to what your body needs. This is your retreat, and we encourage you to make each practice your own.
Kristina and Lulu are both certified Katonah Yoga® teachers, and all yoga classes on retreat are bankable towards Katonah Yoga® certification hours.
Kristina will also teach her signature Greek dance class, which takes you on a tour of Greece and helps you get ready to dance the night away at a local panigyri (festival).
7 nights stay in your choice of a single or double room. All rooms have a balcony with sea view.
Daily delicious breakfast and lunch or dinner, depending on the day’s schedule. One meal off site is included. One meal only on check in and check out day :)
