Join Lesley Fightmaster for an amazing retreat full of Yoga and bliss under the greek sun on one of the most beautiful islands in Greece.
THE RETREAT
Practice yoga at an exclusive sanctuary that invites you to experience the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation of your life, what more could anyone dream of!
Tiny and secluded, Koufonisia island is the best place for absolute relaxation in Greece. Geographically located south of Naxos, in the centre of the Cyclades, Koufonisia is actually a pair of islands, Ano and Kato Koufonisi. Only Ano Koufonisi is inhabited and has a main port village where taverns and shops are found. All beaches in Koufonisia have exotic turquoise waters and some are used by naturists, like Pori and Fanos. Koufonisia's beaches are amazingly quiet and secluded.
The retreat starts on Monday afternoon 3pm where we will meet for a grounding practice and orientation, followed by an afternoon swim and dinner at Koufonisi villas’ main dining room.
The days that follow will spread between yoga practice (each morning and afternoon),
walks, bicycle rides, visits to the town and little fishingboat tours of the island and its beaches, swimming and enjoying the amazing crystal waters, white soft sand and bright sun on our bodies.
There will be an optional day trip by boat to Amorgos island, a place for lovers of hiking, covered with historical paths passing by villages, monasteries, chapels and abandoned settlement. The landscape with its close-to-the-sea mountains offers fantastic views on nearly every corner, and is where Luc Besson’s movie “The Big Blue” was filmed.
You can enjoy optional massage treatments from an experienced therapist.
Optional diving lessons and diving trips are available.

ABOUT MURIEL ZOGRAPHOS
Muriel started studying yoga when she began to notice how yoga practice alleviated the stresses of corporate life and how it helped achieve a much needed personal balance.
Since then Yoga has been part of her life, she completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training and a 50 hour Yoga Anatomy course with Yoga Studio Maroussi. She attended several local and international teachers’ workshops and will always be a student of the practice. She is deeply grateful for the loving wisdom her teachers have shared with her.
Yoga is freedom and release. Her classes can satisfy a hard working, aching body craving a good sweat and stretch and can also calm a stressed, anxious, occasionally overwhelmed mind. She teaches from invigorating athletic vinyasa to relaxing restorative yin classes with Yoga Nidra at the end.
She loves organising trips, vacations and yoga retreats!
