LUNA JOSEPHINE | 1 - 6 JULY 2023 | KOUFONISIA, GREECE
THE EXPERIENCE
Welcome to The Sacred Body Retreat, a 6 day exploration of our divine body.
Getting to understand the vessel that is our body is the most sacred work we have to do. That is what we call embodiment, the way to deeply know yourself, listening to the language of the body translated into whispers of thoughts and feelings. The subtle practices of Yoga and how these can be lived every day is what Luna’s philosophy, Body Poetry, practices.
Luna is a multifaceted yogi that shares the healing powers of yoga around the globe, bringing together the yang in a feminine, energetic way and the yin in an intimate, deep way that really transforms. The raw nature of Koufonisia, along with our seaside location and a carefully curated program of island adventures await for you to feel & reconnect.
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. Click for more images.

We advise our guests to allow one day prior and after the retreat for their travelling and book flexible or refundable plane tickets. You may use viva.gr to check the ferries schedule and book your boat tickets online.
