Luxury Yoga Retreat in Greece

We all deserve to indulge in a bit of luxury every now and then (or how about every day?). You’ll enjoy the opportunity to dive deeper into your yoga practice while immersing into Greek island life on Lefkas… an island where time slows down, the days are delightfully long, and where giant cliffs meet the sea.

Yoga retreats are about more than just practicing yoga in a beautiful destination. I take care and pride in finding the best yoga retreat destinations out there and creating fun, powerful and immersive retreats that nourish the soul. Get ready for a truly relaxing luxury experience with a bit of adventure thrown in for good measure. The yoga retreat in Greece exceeds all of my expectations of what makes a retreat really awesome: location, nature, gorgeous comfy accommodation, views that take your breath away, amazing food, super fun excursions, hosts that pay as much attention to detail as I do, and obviously great yoga — that’s my job!

Just for fun, do me a favor. Close your eyes and envision your most perfect quiet morning… no pets needing to go out to pee, no kiddos to send off to school, no email inbox stealing your attention and peace. Instead, you sit on your terrace overlooking the Ionian Sea and sip on a cup of hot coffee while reading your favorite book or you hike down to the sea and go for a morning swim at your private beach before your first yoga class of the day.

You join the morning yoga practice and are greeted by Autumn, your yoga instructor for the week, the energy in the room is light, bright and clear. She effortlessly weaves in stories of goddesses that seem to speak directly to your soul while simultaneously teaching the group and offering hands-on assists when you need them most.

You leave class feeling vibrant, alive and empowered… and it’s not even breakfast yet.

This could be you. You could be here. I invite you to join us!

Join me in Lefkada, Greece this summer for a transformative week of GODDESS inspired self-care, self-love and yoga. Taira, a yoga teacher and studio owner in Portland has attended two Ambuja Yoga retreats; here is what she had to say about her most recent experience, “Autumn and Toni your pure selves reflected in your teaching. I had some deep realizations this retreat about some of my relationships. The spiritual aspect added to this retreat was absolutely amazing. I also cannot wait to bring the new knowledge into my own classes to best assist/guide my students safely… I have so much gratitude for this place, retreat, community, both Autumn and Toni I thank you both for all that you are and all that you shared.”

All you have to do is show up. Allow us to take care of everything else… nourishing your physical body with delicious food and balanced yoga practices, allow us to schedule your massages, allow us to prepare your meals and clean up afterward, allow us to organize outings –> boat trips and beach visits. Remember, you don’t have to do it all.

While this retreat is Goddess themed, both men and women are welcome to join us. We all embody both the divine masculine and the divine feminine.

Yoga Retreat In Greece On The Island of Lefkas

We will be calling the Greek island of Lefkas (also called Lefkada) home for our 7night/8 day retreat. Urania Villas and yoga retreat center overlooks the deep blue Ionian Sea and provides the perfect destination to get away from the stress of life back home and to hit the reset button. Every once in a while you come across a place – which is so divine, so quiet and beautiful and surrounded by nature that no pictures can do it justice and Urania Villas is one such space. We would love for you to join us!

Who is our Yoga Retreat in Greece for?

• real people: people that love yoga, but also love having an evening glass of wine, staring at the stars and swapping stories
• yogis that want to go deeper into their practice
• yogis that want an asana tune-up
• those who want to adventure and be active during the day and climb into a ridiculously comfortable bed at night
• those who are inspired by rugged landscapes and the deep blue-green sea
• those who want to celebrate this awesome thing we call life!
• those that want to travel with a like-minded community
• those that need a technology detox (don’t worry there is still Wi-Fi, but I don’t think you’ll want to use it… except to brag to friends and family back home)
• those that need to RELAX… there are only two mandatory events for the whole 8 days!
• those who need a shift, an ignition, or a jumpstart in life, work, etc.

Who is our Yoga Retreat in Greece not for?

• those who want to party every night
• those who have no yoga experience (yogis should have a basic understanding of standing postures and a willingness to explore and play on their mat)
• those who don’t want to support others in their growth on and off their mat (we’re all about community, connection and support)

Still wondering if this retreat is a good fit? Let’s connect! Hop on my calendar and schedule a phone/Zoom call.

More about Urania Villas

Urania Villas is located on the mountainous island of Lefkas, near the village of Vassiliki. The cluster of luxurious villas sits high up on the hill above a tiny little private beach with views of neighboring islands and beautiful Vasiliki Bay. Although, the villas are on the southwest side of the island and close to the best beaches they also look out over a Vasiliki Bay facing the east. The sunrises are spectacular.

Ourania and her son Ilias are our wonderful hosts for the duration of the week. They are completely dedicated to making sure our week is amazing! The kindness of our hosts and the thought and care that goes into each and every detail are much appreciated.

Gorgeous pools are the name of the game here. We will have plenty of time to swim, relax poolside, read and unwind. You will be encouraged to take advantage of our scheduled excursions, but we’d also like you to listen to your body and your own wants and needs… sometimes that means enjoying some quiet pool time while the rest of the group is out and about or taking a nap while the rest of the group is at class.

The luxurious villas are in an incredibly quiet and peaceful area of the island and are surrounded by flora and fauna… if you’re lucky you might even see foxes, dolphins and owls.
