About The Retreat
We are overjoyed to return to Santorini, Greece. Between the magnificent sunsets, turquoise waters and ancient vertical cliffs, you can see why Shari, your retreat host has chosen to return to this incredible location! Our retreat takes place in several Private Villas in one superb complex overlooking the blue, Aegean Sea. Our location is surrounded by vineyards and farms, yet only a 10-minute walk from the nearest beach. This allows us a peaceful and tranquil setting away from the bustle of downtown Santorini. All lessons will be led by Shari. Including 1-2 daily vinyasa yoga, pilates or restorative sessions will be practiced outside on one of our beautiful terraces at our villa complex. Get ready to move and flow with the warm breeze and sound of birds to serenade us in the morning and late afternoon. Shari will revise the practice according to the needs of the guests. Every level is welcome from the very beginner to the more advanced practitioner. We may take our mats one day to the nearby beach for a gentle, sunset practice. One day we will go on our own private boat for a gorgeous day on the turquoise Mediterranean Sea! We will swim, marvel at the sites and enjoy a delicious, fresh lunch of local specialties on the sparkling, blue water. One evening after yoga, we will go for a very special wine tasting/aperitivo at a stunning winery with views-to-die-for. This view is one for the books, that is for sure! We will also head to the famous small village of Oia for an afternoon of exploring and shopping. This is the most picturesque town in Santorini with unbelievable views of the caldera and the famous cobalt domes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Singles Come on Your Retreats/Holidays?
YES! In fact, about 85% of all of our yogis come by themselves. It is the perfect opportunity to meet new people refresh and recharge!
My Friend/Significant Other Wants to Come, but He/She Doesn’t Practice Yoga. Is this OK?
Yes! There are always plenty of activities to choose from. Shari chooses locations that are within walking distance to either beaches, shopping, surf breaks or other adventures. But, we would certainly welcome them to pop into a class every now and then!
Why Are Your Holidays Different from the Others I See Online?
This retreat is different because we want people to ENJOY themselves. We know that this may be the only vacation you have all year, so we want it to be special. We will not be having yoga super early in the morning. Two desserts? YES, have and enjoy. Skip a yoga class to rest, of course! We also include adventures and activities in the price, so you are not stuck having to pay for numerous excursions. The Team organizes the week for you. All you need to worry about is which yoga outfits to pack! (And yes, we send out our own special packing list per retreat)

I just wanted to thank Shari again for such a wonderful time in Santorini! I think about it every day and wish I could go back. You hit the jackpot in our accommodations from the villas to the people who ran the place and the time of year.

Can there be more than 5 stars?? Can I rate a million stars??! I just returned from my very first yoga retreat in Santorini, Greece. AMAZING!! 😃 I highly recommend this retreat for an incredible experience! Shari was so very helpful with ALL of the travel details and information needed while there. The villa was gorgeous and the staff was so attentive to anything needed.
