Who is this yoga Retreat in Greece for?

- those who want to celebrate this awesome thing we call life!

- those who need a shift, an ignition, or a jumpstart in life, work, etc.
Who is this yoga retreat in Greece not for?
- those who want to party every night

Yoga retreats are about more than just practicing yoga in a beautiful destination. Autumn takes care and pride in finding the best yoga retreat destinations out there and creating fun, powerful, and immersive retreats that nourish the soul. Get ready for a truly relaxing luxury experience with a bit of adventure thrown in for good measure. The yoga retreat in Greece exceeds all of my expectations of what makes a retreat really awesome: location, nature, gorgeous comfy accommodation, views that take your breath away, amazing food, super fun excursions, hosts that pay as much attention to detail as I do, and obviously great yoga — that’s my job!
Just for fun, do me a favor. Close your eyes and envision your most perfect quiet morning with no pets needing to go out to pee, no kiddos to send off to school, no email inbox stealing your attention and peace. Instead, you sit on your terrace overlooking the Ionian Sea and sip on a cup of hot coffee while reading your favorite book or you hike down to the sea and go for a morning swim at your private beach before your first yoga class of the day.
You join the morning yoga practice and are greeted by Autumn, your yoga instructor for the week, the energy in the room is light, bright, and clear. She effortlessly weaves in stories of goddesses that speak directly to your soul while simultaneously teaching the group and offering hands-on assistance when you need them most. You leave class feeling vibrant, alive, and empowered and it’s not even breakfast yet.
While this retreat is Goddess-themed, both men and women are welcome to join this. We all embody both the divine masculine and the divine feminine.
