ABOUT THE RETREAT
This is a week long active and playful retreat to get you energised and sweaty in the heart of the summer. Elisa Devlin will lead you through two daily yoga sessions. A 90 minutes dynamic yoga in the morning will get your heart rate up and blood circulating. Emphasis will be given on stretching and alignment as well as on core body training. Lots of hands on adjustments will ensure maximum benefit from the practice. The evening session will be a slower more restorative pace with some easy going stretching and Yoga Sutra recitation, preparing the body for restful sleep.
Elisa has a no nonsense approach to Yoga, coupled with a fun and generous teaching style. She has over 10 years teaching experience and a 16 year practice of Transcendental Meditation which taught her how to ‘hold the space’ for her students. Yoga is for everyone, regardless of experience, whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to the game, modifications will be offered. You will leave feeling confident, uplifted and inspired.

* All practices are open to all levels from beginners to more advanced yogis.

THE ESSENCE OF TRUE FOOD
Our Koufonisia nutrition is catered by our private chef Esco Essence. Esco is a passionate vegan chefand a raw food artist. His approach to longevity and happiness is based on three components: physical practice (yoga asana), conscious eating (raw / vegan) and mental exercise (mindfulness).
Esco uses the freshest daily produce from Koufonisia and the nearby islands to prepare each meal and there’re always gluten-free alternatives. He makes his own bread and nut based milks, as well as his famous granola, smoothies and herbal infusions. Our lunches are always a rainbow of colorful salads while each dinner is a big gathering around the table where we taste Esco’s specialty, finishing off the day with a small innocent desert for a sweet night’s sleep.

KOUFONISIA BEACHFRONT VILLAS
Our Island Yoga Resort consists of two beachfront villas overlooking one of the most dreamy beaches of the island. The location is ideal to walk everywhere you want and explore!

The villas blend harmoniously with the raw landscape of Koufonisia and their large outdoor spaces and patios are ideal for lazy afternoon siestas and reading. The zen atmosphere of the resort is completed with a covered outdoor yogashala and a thai-massage room, both made with natural materials. Click for more images.
