Her classes offer yoga and meditation as a mechanism to shift the way we offer ourselves in all aspects of our lives and as a tool for granting profound healing in our bodies, our hearts, and ultimately our relationships. Selena is a PhD Candidate in South Asian Anthropology. And holds an MPH in International Health.

      This is my second retreat with Selena. Each experience is curated and designed to unlock something specific inside yourself. Every detail has been sought out and the entire retreat was filled with special memories I will cherish. I came away feeling saturated with creativity and inspiration. The venue and accommodations were magic, and I loved each beautiful sunrise over the Tuscan hills. The practices were a wonderful mix of unique movements and storytelling. Each story unlocked something new and insightful within. I spent so much time writing and crafting my own stories. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. This is a gift to give yourself that you will never regret.

      An amazing yoga retreat with Selena. She goes above and beyond, tells mythical stories in a beautiful way, her yoga practices are so healing - unlocking parts of you that may have been closed for a long time. My husband and I had an amazing time and we made wonderful connections with people on the retreat. The island Amorgos is so so beautiful too and the hotel staff are simply amazing. We loved everything. Thank you so much.

      I cannot praise Selena enough for creating such a beautiful, rich, life transforming retreat. I brought my 18 year old daughter with me, and we both felt safe and held as Selena expertly guided us through healing and transformative breath, meditation and yoga practices. The retreat center was flawless, the Greek islands are otherworldly, the food was to die for. We left feeling rejuvenated, more alive in our bodies and spirits, deeply inspired. We made life-long friends out of the other retreat participants, that is the energy and tone that Selena helped create. My daughter and I will be following her around the world on more retreats for years to come. Go to one of her retreats. Just do it, it will change your life.

      My experience was more than I expected. The Aegialis Hotel & Spa was the most magical place I've ever stayed, the staff were all wonderful, they were kind, helpful and just some of the best people you could ever meet! There are breath taking views from every room, the open air dining area with the most spectacular view created the most relaxing dining experience of my life. I met Selena Garefino on Facebook and I enrolled in her online yoga teacher training in 2020 during my treatment and healing from breast cancer(not to mention a worldwide pandemic)! The yoga program that Selena created for us was so potent and powerful, morning asana and a restorative practice with soul soothing breath work in the evening was perfectly crafted for us in the moment as things were evolving during the retreat(all from a yoga space with a view of the sea) this was my first in person meeting with Selena and she is as kind in person as she has been over zoom for the last 2 years I've been studying with her! She is already so knowledgeable in many movement modalities and her academic accomplishments are too many to mention here(so impressive!) she is a self proclaimed forever student! As a bonus Dr. Paula Sauer( a decorated physical therapist and our anatomy teacher in Selena's trainings) was on retreat with us, so nice to meet her as well! I have memories that will last a life time from this retreat, the people I met here are going to be lifelong friends! These amazingly beautiful people made me feel safe, seen and heard in a way no one else ever has! They were so kind, giving and loving which was so comforting for me because I traveled to Greece alone(most had a friend or loved one with them). They were from different walks of life from me but they made me feel included. I learned so much from everyone I met, lessons that I will carry into my everyday life. If you are like me and have no one that shares your interest in yoga or travel don't be afraid to travel alone, the people of the world are beautiful, kind and helpful, just do your research and make your travel plans well ahead of time and give yourself time to get to Amorgos, it is a 6 hour ferry ride from Piraeus port, you can buy your tickets on line and all the logistics are well worth the experience!!!! Selena welcomes everyone, because yoga is for everyone no matter if you have never done an asana pose in your life Selena will be right by your side safely guiding you, I promise she will take care of you body and spirit! More than anything this experience has feed my soul and I am planning to go on Selena's retreat in Italy next year, her payment plan makes it possible for me and I am so thankful! Thank you so very much Selena for creating this life changing experience!!! I love you!!!
