101. 10th Consecutive Yoga Retreat in Energetic Ikaria, June 2025

Yoga Retreat Ikaria

Tenth consecutive Yoga Retreat in Ikaria, the island of longevity, and I feel as if it is the doctor of our soul.

There, where time stopped passing and the earth ceased to turn; there, where the essence makes you feel that you truly exist.

Wonderful practices in a unique hall, morning and afternoon, with breathtaking sunsets disappearing into the Icarian Sea.

What to remember first: the beaches, the food, nature, the traditional feasts (panigiria), the hikes, the winery, the thermal springs, and above all, the people.

It is not by chance that it is characterized as one of the most popular yoga retreats in Greece.

Testimonial

First of all, thank you very much for this wonderful retreat! I enjoyed especially classes in the evening watching the Ikarian sunset. I definitely was able to step out of my comfort zone and did things I would have never done else. I feel calm, wiser and stronger. I loved the program you organised for us! It was a nice mix of everything and I feel like I have to come back to Ikaria after all beautiful places I got to know thanks to you! I especially liked the walk through the forest and the day in Therma. I hope you keep doing what you are doing! This retreat taught me patience, acceptance and making compromises. I wish you all the best and I hope to see you again at the next yoga retreat! And don’t forget to smile. M.B.

My beloved Fotini and Petros, I set out on this journey with you out of a great need to relax and connect with my body. I couldn’t have imagined that this trip would lead me to dream of new possibilities and discover desires I had intentionally pushed aside. Fotini, you are a wonderful teacher full of light. We need people who lead us and open new paths. Thank you for helping me love yoga and for making me want to include it in my life! Petros, a huge thank you for the flawless organization, guidance, and coordination. It’s been years—I think since I was very young—since I felt the emotion that possesses me right now: not wanting this beautiful journey of soul and body to end. I met wonderful people who felt like little bees (myself included) wanting to be near Fotini and Petros. I am grateful to have known Ikaria through this retreat. What softens the sadness of our goodbye is that I will follow you on other trips, which I am already eagerly awaiting! Fotini and Petros, you are bright lighthouses in our lives. With gratitude. P.M.

Petros & Fotini, Thank you so much for this experience. I did not know what to expect, as I have never done a yoga retreat before, but I absolutely loved it! the sessions were run really well, and especially when it came to catering to all difficulties. The way that you allow the schedule for flexibility is perfect. I’m so glad I got to experience Ikaria, and I will definitely consider going to another retreat, perhaps in the winter! Thank you again, for an unforgettable experience. Namaste J.G.
