THE EXPERIENCE
“The Embodied Freedom" retreat is exactly what you need in order to reset yourself after a long period of stress and worry. This is a 7 day journey of empowered yoga, daily adventures and plenty of precious ‘me’ time by the beach or at the peaceful corners of Koufonisia island. Koufonisia is the perfect place to feel wild & free and appreciate space again. You can shape the day the way you want and walk the whole place within 3 hours. Our yoga program is also designed to gradually build up this body movement and mobility that reminds us how it feels to be free and having options. The option to live life the way you want to.

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 beach is just 10 minutes away on foot while the lil town is a beautiful 30 minutes walk. 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.
COVID-19 | Cleaning & Safety : All villas have acquired the “Health First” certification badge and abide by the official health protocols. Our villas are fully equipped with sanitisers and all high risk areas are daily cleaned and disinfected. Room cleaning is scheduled once during the retreat to avoid frequent interaction of housekeeping staff with guests’ personal items.
YOGA WITH ALESSANDRA
Alessandra Oram is a very charismatic Vinyasa yoga teacher and one of the most upcoming names in the European yoga scene. She is a Navakarana Vinyasa teacher, a yoga studio owner in Barcelona and an Oysho yoga ambassador. Alessandra, balances life between yoga & interior design for the past 7 years but it was only when she met her Guru, Dario Calvaruso, and completed her Navakarana Yoga teacher training, that she fully committed herself to her yoga path as a teacher.
Navakarana is an intensive Vinyasa based practice with a total of 12 different series which we change and practice according to the Moon. It is a beautifully balanced collection of series, and each practice together is a full body workout. The style and teaching method is extremely traditional, where the teacher gives a tempo (laya) and students move through the sequences using the sanskrit counts. Students should expect to raise their body heat and become embodied in a movement meditation. Each series will involve twists, inversions, arm balances et al, and Alessandra will be there to guide you throughout your practice with safety and grace.
* All practices are open to all levels from beginners to more advanced yogis.
COVID-19 | Yoga & Safety: The yoga takes place in an outdoor covered yoga shala which is sunlight & easily aired and yoga mats will be placed within a two metres distance. Each guest will be provided with a Manduka yoga mat which they will keep for the duration of the retreat and be responsible for its cleaning. Adjustments will be offered only orally by the teacher.
