Love to Flow Yoga Retreat
Kefalonia, Greece
1 – 7 September 2024
Join us on this beautiful yoga escape at Vericoco Retreat, a paradise place on the idyllic island of Kefalonia. This paradise of pristine white sand beaches lapped by the crystal-clear Ionian Sea is one of the most beautiful Greek Islands.
You’ll start to relax the moment you arrive at Vericoco, an oasis of calm amid olive groves with views of mighty Mount Aenos and a short stroll from the soft sand of Spartia Beach. Its large, lush grounds are centred around a pink-terracotta villa, dotted with fruit tree groves and a serene swimming pool – perfect for diving into after a day spent practising yoga and immersing yourself in nature exploring the surrounding forests, caves and beaches.
Accommodation’s varied at Vericoco, from villa suites to beach houses that are dotted around the grounds, each with a combination of double and twin bedrooms and views of the surrounding forest and sea. Natural Decor’s in keeping with the retreat’s calm vibe, think terracotta walls, white cotton linen and the occasional splash of colour through exquisite art, cushions and and wall-hangings.
On waking in this stunning location, we’ll do a blissful sunrise sadhana in the Poolside Yoga Shala overlooking the Ionian Sea. Moving through beautiful sequencing and creative namaskars, we’ll explore Mythical Vinyasa Flow and inspired Dharma Yoga. These soulful practices create a sense of lightness and radiance, leaving you feeling lovingly uplifted and alive. On some afternoons, we will surrender to a restorative Yin Yoga practice in the Olive Grove Shala, allowing your being to rest, renew and rejuvenate.
Meals are a treat of home-cooked Mediterranean and Greek fare created using local, organic produce and vegetables fresh from the estate’s garden. At night, we’ll gather around the long alfresco tables beside the outside kitchen and socialise beneath the stars, perhaps sampling a glass or two of Vericoco’s very own wine.
Experience a Kefalonia Cruise, exploring the turquoise coastline, white sand beaches, Vardiani island and natural wonders of the Ionian Sea, home to rare turtles and dolphins.
When we’re not practising yoga or exploring the big blue, there’s plenty of time to experience other island activities, including sea kayaking, Greek cookery lessons, olive press tour, wine tasting, horse riding and hiking tours. You may indulge in a luxurious massage or take some time to read a book in a hammock all afternoon – the choice is yours.
