46. Yoga Retreat at the Impressive The Westin Costa Navarino, March 2022
The Yoga Retreat at The Westin Costa Navarino in Messinia, Peloponnese, held during the four-day holiday of March 25th, 2022, was dedicated to our inner ‘wants’ and desires.
Six themed practices were carefully designed with the intention of balancing our senses and aligning with our personal needs.
We experienced moments of withdrawal, carefreeness, love, and connection. We became like children again, returning to our daily routines feeling rejuvenated and confident in our choices.
There could be no more ideal place to live this unique experience than amidst nature and sand dunes, overlooking the Ionian Sea, the endless golf courses, and the vibrant, high-energy landscape of Voidokilia.

“Yoga Retreat at Costa Navarino: a wonderful experience, a wonderful journey, a wonderful place. But the real difference is in the people. Fotini, our instructor, is exactly what her name implies: light, wellness, serenity, knowledge, and experience. Petros, the organizer, is the ‘unsung hero’—handling everything from our mats to our meals, because the details make the difference. Thank you for this unique experience! Keep reminding us that we need these oases away from our daily routine. Thank you!”
— C.K.
“This retreat was medicine for me in a gloomy reality. It brightened my world and my movements, helping me set new goals. Exceptional instructor and coordinator. Thank you.”
— S.S.
“You are the reason I practice—or rather, why I continue to practice—yoga, as much as the enchanting location, which is special every single time! You are amazing, we love you very much!”
— M.K. & P.R.
“What I saw was a loving, collaborative, and balanced couple, and that translates into perfect organization. I believe the benefits of this retreat will manifest in everyone’s body in due time (which varies for each person, from an hour to weeks). It was my first time doing yoga, and unfortunately, I realized how inflexible I am. This motivates me to work on my body in this direction, in addition to the muscle strengthening I’ve been doing. So, here’s to a new beginning! Fotini and Petros, it was a pleasure meeting you; I’m not saying goodbye, but ‘see you again’ at another retreat!”
— M.L.
“A huge thank you to the ‘unbeatable duo’ for another wonderful retreat. Everything was perfect!! Fotini, you are a teacher with humor; you notice everything during the class and help me evolve and love my body, yoga, and myself even more. I can’t wait for our next meeting. With much love and dedication.”
— I.P.
“The best yoga I’ve ever done for all levels. The fact that my daughters wanted to attend every single class deserves extra kudos! Upon returning, I’ll have to take my trousers to the tailor because I regained the 2 centimeters in height that I had lost..!
P.S. Please don’t fire Petros, he’s a good guy!“
— D. & E. & E. & V.V.
