Our retreats 2024
Crafted with the graceful intention of opening hearts and fostering communal celebration, our retreats offer a sanctuary of introspection and connection that varies week by week. Each retreat week with us envelops you in a harmonious blend of yoga, meditation, and dance.
Complementing these soul-nurturing practices are nature-infused activities like hiking through the island's untouched beaches along ancient trails, or kayaking to secluded sandy shores. These experiences are designed to deepen your relationship with the natural world, all within a framework of feminine elegance and mindful togetherness.
2024 Retreats

It was one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had! The location in Zakynthos, right in front of the beach, couldn't have been better. Diana's yoga and meditation sessions were truly exceptional. If you're looking for a serene week-long yoga retreat, don't hesitate to join! I wish I could participate every year!

I chose this retreat as it looked to be a perfect fit. Yoga twice a day, beach location in a beautiful Greek Island. Easy transfer from the airport. Space in the programme to have some free time.
We made great friends and decided as a group that we would come back next year!
