Relax and Restore in Santorini! Enjoy the Greek sun, sea and the volcano!
Join us for a magical and transforming small-group Retreat experience of 5 days of Yoga, Meditation, Sailing and Hiking on the famous Greek island of Santorini, staying on a beautiful private villa overlooking the stunning volcano view!
The retreat starts on Thursday, October 11th afternoon and runs until Monday, October 15th noon time.
There will be two daily 2-hour practices, instructed in English.
Our morning sessions will be waking up to the glorious Greek sun where we will be practicing on the terrace overlooking the volcano and the Aegean Sea. Our practices will be based on deep classic Hatha Yoga style including pranayama and meditation with a deep relaxation at the end.
Our evening sessions will be more chilled out preparing you for an evening of peace and tranquility. Evening style will alternate between Sunset Yoga and Meditation, Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra taking in the lunar energy.
On one of the days we will sail with a private catamaran to the Santorini caldera, have our meal on board, enjoy the sun and have the chance to swim to the hot springs. Our evening session that day will include meditation and yoga nidra right next to the volcano.
One evening, we will hike to Skaros rock where we will enjoy our evening session at the edge of an amazing view witnessing the setting of the sun.
This retreat is for everyone. From beginners to the more advanced students. Athina has many years’ experience of Hatha yoga and will accommodate you based on where your level of practice is at the moment.
During your stay you will be able to book and enjoy personal Thai Massage or Reiki sessions with Athina.
The private Catamaran sailing cruise will stimulate and refresh all your senses!
We will sail along the breathtaking Santorini coastline to the volcano, where we will have the chance to swim at the hot springs.
We will have the unique experience of mediating and have a yoga nidra session on board, connecting with the energy of the sea and the volcano.
During the cruise we will have the chance to relax on deck, enjoy our meal on board and will sail back immersed on the scenery and the colours of the famous Santorini sunset.
Hiking will be an unforgettable unique experience!
We will hike to one of the most impressive spots of Santorini, Skaros Rock, across the medieval castle ruins. We will end up to its hidden outer end to do yoga on the courtyard of a beautiful white church overlooking the Aegean Sea.
Skaros is a kind of conical peninsula that on top forms a huge rock, about 20m high. It is not only geologically interesting, it is also historically important, as it is the first fortress built on Santorini in the 15th century to protect it from the pirates' attacks.
