The retreats on Naxos take place in a stunning setting by the beach and very close to your accommodation, in an outdoor covered area, sheltered from the sun, with some sessions also taking place on the beach, depending on which retreat you are doing. From October 2025 the retreats will happen at our new centre.

Each retreat consists of two training sessions per day with our friendly expert retreat facilitators. Your day may begin with a stroll along the beach or a yoga session before your retreat starts. There will be plenty of comfort breaks. You will have a long lunch break so for sunbathing, sleeping, swimming or simply digesting what you have been doing. Once your retreat is finished for the day, there will be plenty of time to get to know each other, write up your learning journal, explore some of the lovely local tavernas, go for a walk or a swim, or simply relax.

Most of our retreat participants are solo travellers, but we also welcome couples, friends and families.
