SOLD OUT: Amorgos Greek island retreat: JUL 26 - AUG 2, 2024
Join us for our second dreamy getaway on the Cycladic island of Amorgos. This retreat will combine yoga, meditation, dance, and other wellness practices with a taste of authentic Greek culture. We'll hike to a famous monastery overlooking the sea, swim in the bluest waters (the cult French film “Le Grande Bleu” was filmed here), lounge by our pool, explore white-washed villages, Greek dance, and, of course - eat delicious fresh food. Lulu and I had the BEST time here with our retreaters this past summer, and we can’t wait to return.
Amorgos is a gem in the small Cyclades, aka the Mikres Kyklades. Unspoiled by the level of tourism on many nearby Greek islands, the island retains its old-school Greek hospitality. The nature and views are striking, the sea is pristine, its main town is among the most charming of the Cyclades, and it has a healing energy that draws yogis, hikers, and lovers of authentic Greece. This retreat is intended to give you whatever you need - we hope it leaves you feeling more joyful, inspired, and rejuvenated. Join us to catch Greek grace!

sold out, waitlist! SKYROS apokries Experience: march 14-19 2024
We’re so excited to team up with Aristoula Toli and Stacie Peroulas for a trip to Skyros for their incredible Apokries (Carnival) traditions. This trip is designed to help you experience and understand the spirit of these ancient traditions and celebrations. Skyros is a special island, and its Apokries is one of the best-known in Greece.
We’ve planned a trip to make it easy (and fun, of course) for an intimate crew to celebrate these traditions together. Skyros books up for this months in advance; luckily for y’all, we reserved a block of rooms :) Join us for Apokries revelry, Greek dance workshops, visits to special places on the island, and more.

GREEK GRACE: SUMMER IN SERIFOS. Jun 30 - Jul 6, 2025
We cannot wait to host our THIRD Greek grace retreat with Lulu Soni! Join us for a dreamy summer escape on Serifos, one of our favorite Cycladic islands. Expect a balance of yoga (all-levels friendly), breathwork, Greek dance, journaling, stunning scenery, and culture. This retreat is intended to give you what you need - we hope it leaves you feeling more joyful, inspired, and rejuvenated.
This isn't just another yoga retreat. In addition to our programming, we'll leave time to savor the art of slow living over a coffee or rakomelo in the plateia (town square). We'll also indulge in local culture, with visits to a breathtaking local winery with one of the best sunsets in the Cyclades, our favorite vetted tavernas for the freshest food, and ample time to explore Serifos's charming chora. Unspoiled by the level of tourism on many nearby Greek islands, Serifos is the perfect place to recharge your batteries and connect with the land. The island is rich in iron and copper, and many feel it has a special energy, perhaps related to this unique, ore-rich geological makeup.

“The Greek Island Retreat with Yia Mas and Lulu Soni was an amazing experience for me. It was my first-ever yoga retreat, and I would love to do another one, especially with this crew again. It was a pleasure to meet and practice with such wonderful people, eat the most delicious Greek food, and explore the breathtakingly beautiful Greek island of Amorgos. The planning and free time balance for the week was perfect and I always felt comfortable and welcome wherever I went. I would definitely recommend this trip, or any retreat by Yia Mas and Lulu Soni, to everyone interested and I cannot wait for my next one!” - James R.
“Amazing teachers, incredible location, and a wonderful group of humans. All the excursions were on point. Could not recommend more!” - Nicole C.
“I felt so much joy every minute of this retreat. From being able to reconnect with my body thanks to the morning movement, to finding light in myself thanks to the meditations, to learning more about the Greek culture thanks to the workshops, to being amazed by the astonishingly different views and beaches, by having fun and laughing so much, by spending 5 nights in a gorgeous hotel with an incredibly super sweet staff, by eating delicious food, by connecting with the amazing people who were doing this experience with me, I will forever be grateful to have been a part of this retreat and recommend it to anyone who would like to discover the Greek culture, reconnect with their body, take time for themselves while meeting new people and having so much fun during 6 days.” - Lara
