GREECE YOGA RETREAT
August 5th - 11th, 2025
📍 In the Greek island of Crete
A mindful journey where movement, reflection, and Mediterranean magic flow together
The itinerary is a simple blend of mindful movement, self-reflective rituals and life by the sea. The simplicity is intentional in order for every body to find their pace and embrace the elements as the retreat progresses.
Each day balances structure and spontaneity—guided practices, shared adventures, and quiet moments of personal discovery unfold in rhythm with Crete and the unique energy of our group. No two days are the same, from swimming in clear Mediterranean waters to wandering timeless village streets and as the sun sets, we gather on the terrace to reflect, unwind, and simply enjoy the quiet beauty of the landscape around us.
Hi my name is Natalia and I will be your retreat host. I've been teaching yoga for over 15 years and creating yoga retreats and experiences for more than 5 years. I guide yoga as a heartfelt journey of self-discovery—where body and mind connect for genuine transformation. Learn more about me

A JOURNEY THROUGH THE ELEMENTS
Each day offers a quiet invitation to embody the elements—feeling the steadiness of earth, the fluidity of water, the heat of fire, and the lightness of air. Through breath, movement, and stillness, we’ll explore how these forces live within us and gently shape the way we move through the world

FAQ's
What if I am very new to yoga, a complete beginner, or not very flexible?
I designed this retreat for all levels, though some basic experience with movement is ideal. With a small group of just 7 people, I'll provide personalized guidance and modifications for everyone. I want this retreat to inspire you to build a stronger relationship and consistency with movement. We won't be focusing on complicated poses. Instead, we'll enjoy daily practices tailored to your level while exploring beautiful locations, building connections, and developing a loving relationship with your body and mind. Wherever you are in your yoga journey is perfect!
What will the food be like? (I have allergies)
The food will be fresh, healthy, and delicious! This retreat offers a wonderful variety of dining experiences. While some meals will be prepared at our Villa, we'll also explore local taverns to truly experience authentic Cretan Mediterranean cuisine, which is known for its freshness and nutritional value. If you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, please let me know in advance so I can ensure that we are prepared to accommodate your dietary needs.
What should I expect in terms of weather?
Hot and sunny ideal for swimming in the sea, average daily highs around 31°C (88°F) and lows around 22°C (72°F)
Do you offer a payment plan?
Yes. To secure your spot I collect a non-refundable deposit to hold your spot and then can collect the rest of the payment by June 1st, 2025. Reach out to me if you prefer installments and we can set up an option that works for you.
