About this trip

We’re so excited to team up with Aristoula Toli and Stacie Peroulas for a trip to Skyros for their incredible Apokries (Carnival) traditions. This trip is designed to help you experience and understand the spirit of these ancient traditions and celebrations. Skyros is a special island, and its Apokries is one of the best-known in Greece. 


We’ve planned a trip to make it easy (and fun, of course) for an intimate crew to celebrate these traditions together. Skyros books up for this months in advance; luckily for y’all, we reserved a block of rooms :) 


Apokries is a special time in Greece right before the beginning of Lent. We hope you'll join us for the incredibly unique, authentic experience!

This Greek Island Retreat with Yia Mas and Lulu Soni was an amazing experience for me. It was my first ever yoga retreat and I would love to do another one, especially with this crew again. It was a pleasure to meet and practice with such wonderful people, eat the most delicious Greek food, and explore the breathtakingly beautiful Greek island of Amorgos. The planning and free time balance for the week was perfect and I always felt comfortable and welcome wherever I went. I would definitely recommend this trip, or any retreat by Yia Mas and Lulu Soni, to everyone interested and I cannot wait for my next one!
