2025 Greek Island Retreat

25 - 31 May, 2025

Nurture yourself with the unique experience of our yoga retreat on the Greek Island, Hydra, set against a backdrop of bougainvillea and exquisite Mediterranean views.

Just a 90 minute ferry ride from Athens, Hydra is full of cobblestone streets, traditional tavernas, brightly coloured doors, a crescent shaped harbour, & is known for its beauty and old world charm. There are no cars on the island (just donkeys)! It is a quiet rural island with unique beaches, & a bustling port full of moored yachts & Greek cafes.

Add to this stunning picture daily yoga in our private yoga room set against the Hotel Bratsera pool, daily meditation, coastal walks, healthy and delicious meals, swimming in the Mediterranean ocean, lying by the pool, time to journal, space to dream, complete indulgence, and lots of time just for you…and you have our 2025 Greece Yoga Retreat!

This incredible retreat will be led by Susan, and while there will be lots of yoga on offer, a focus of the retreat will be on indulging in the “Hydra” way; slowing down, and experiencing the beauty of Greece at its best.

You will start each day with a beautiful sunrise meditation practice by the ocean, followed by a slow flow/vinyasa yoga class where you will delve deep and expand your practice and awareness. After class, you’ll be served a scrumptious breakfast filled with Greek delights (have you experienced the deliciousness of traditional Greek yogurt?!) followed by plenty of time to indulge in ‘you’. Here, you can explore the island by foot, donkey or boat, visit one of the many divine beaches for a swim, lie by the pool, or maybe sit and journal at one of the many Greek cafes while you watch the activity on the beautiful Hydra port.

In the late afternoon, before you experience an amazing Greek sunset, you will indulge in the nurtured bliss of yin yoga, rejuvenating both body and mind. This is your opportunity to sink back into restorative and rejuvenating poses and relaxation.

Plus, as we believe the little things make all the difference, during your stay you will receive:

A special Light Space Yoga gift bag filled with specials treats and goodies from lots of our friends

A special welcome dinner at one of Hydra’s best restaurants

Wireless internet (…unless you want to escape the internet for a while)
