Greek Island Retreat

Join Janet for an exquisite retreat
to a quiet island in Greece

Join Janet for a retreat to an almost-private island in Greece. Koufonisia has a population of approximately 400, and is only about 3.8 kilometers (2.3 miles) wide.

Koufonisia means “the hollow islands” in Greek, which describes the stunning coastline that’s been shaped by wind and waves. We’ll be hosted at Koufonisia Villas, a collection of several villas with a yoga shala in the northeast corner of the island.

Days will begin with morning practice, followed by breakfast and plenty of time to explore the island’s unique beaches, all within walking distance. Explore the village on the other side of the island (a 30 minute walk).

In the evenings, as the sun begins to set, steep in the nourishing golden light, taking time to be still, to move less, and to soften. Janet’s rich, creative sequencing, storytelling, and real-life perspective on the teachings of Yoga will bring new dimension to your practice.

This retreat program beautifully weaves together daily Yoga practice, time for deep connection to nature and stillness.
