This trip was amazing! Kristina and Lulu were such gracious, kind, and welcoming hosts. Everyone on this trip was an exceptional human and I’m so glad to have experienced this!

My first solo trip… and certainly not my last. Spending a week on the serene island of Serifos for my first yoga retreat was nothing short of magical. It was the perfect setting—calm, grounding, and breathtakingly beautiful. From the peaceful Greek mountains that greeted us each morning during practice, to the warm, welcoming energy shared among new friends, it felt like exactly what each of us needed. The hotel was not only comfortable, but the care and attention from the staff made us feel truly at home. Freshly brewed coffee awaited us every morning, and every meal was lovingly prepared and absolutely delicious. Practicing yoga daily with such an awe-inspiring view brought a deep sense of peace and connection. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share space, laughs, and stillness with a group of wonderful souls. Huge thanks to our amazing teachers, Kristina and Lulu, whose guidance, warmth, and thoughtful planning created the most nurturing and flexible retreat experience. This was my first yoga retreat, and it won’t be my last. I hope to gift myself a retreat like this every year going forward. My heart is full. 💛

This yoga retreat led by Kristina and Lulu was everything I wanted and more! It was the perfect blend of wellness, culture, beach and social interaction that I was looking for. The leaders are exceptional , infusing each class with a sense of whimsy and magic that made the experience truly unforgettable, and I am still thinking about the breathtaking views from the yoga Shalas. The accommodations were top-notch, providing a comfortable and serene environment. You also have the opportunity to use the spa facilities at the hotel, which added an extra layer of relaxation to the retreat. What drew me to this retreat was the combination of yoga with the feeling of being on vacation, and it was just that. Being able to explore beaches, local towns, local shops and amazing food provided an authentic Greek experience. Our leaders' extensive knowledge of the island led us to some fantastic key spots that truly enriched our stay. I attended the retreat solo, but every participant was kind, open, and friendly, and we spent a wonderful week sharing experiences and making memories. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a rejuvenating blend of yoga, culture, relaxation and fun. I would definitely join another retreat organized by Kristina and Lulu! Thank you!

Kristina and Lulu were exceptional hosts and yoga instructors. The experience was a great mix of yoga practice, cultural activities, and Greek nightlife. The hotel accommodations were fantastic, Amorgos is a dream island to visit and a great intro to Greece without all the tourists. I am only at a beginner level of yoga and I was able to keep up during practice while also testing my limits with the support of not just the instructors but also the entire group. Everyone made me feel so welcome, it really was a 10/10 trip and I recommend it to everyone.

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!
