yoga retreat with Maria pountou

Time and Place

Choose between two weeks, April 26th - May 2nd or May 3rd - May 9th to step away from the busyness of daily life and immerse yourself in a week of movement, relaxation, and reconnection in a breathtaking private villa on the island of Paros. This retreat is designed to help you feel grounded, energized, and fully present, surrounded by the natural beauty of Paros, Greece

The Experience

Over six nights, enjoy a carefully curated experience combining twice-daily yoga practices, nourishing meals, and mindful rest. Each day begins with a two-hour breathwork and asana practice, setting the tone for deep connection and clarity. Evenings wind down with restorative and therapeutic sessions, guiding you toward full-body relaxation.

The retreat balances structured movement with adventure and leisure. Some days invite you to simply relax in the comfort of the villa, while others take you out to explore the island—pristine beaches, hidden gems, and local tavernas where you can indulge in Greek specialties like gemista and saganaki.

Designed for an intimate group of up to 12 participants, this experience offers the space to deepen your practice, whether you seek personal growth, rest, or a mix of both. Aperitivo gatherings and communal dinners bring everyone together to share stories, laughter, and unforgettable moments. The retreat is proudly sponsored by DrHauschka and Chiefs Bars

Capacity

The villa accommodates a maximum of 16 guests in 8 spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The accommodations are spread across a main house, a guesthouse, and two externally accessed guest rooms, offering a balance of privacy and communal spaces. With multiple sea-view terraces, a panoramic pool, and an outdoor dining area, the villa is perfectly suited for a retreat experience, providing ample space for relaxation, yoga, and connection.

The Location

The retreat takes place at Villa , a stunning property in Aliki, Paros, Greece. Nestled among lush gardens and expansive sea-view terraces, the villa offers a peaceful and private setting with direct access to the Aegean Sea. Just a short drive from the charming village of Aliki (2.5 km away), the location allows for both relaxation and exploration, with nearby beaches, local tavernas, and scenic island views.
