Join our 2022 Yoga Retreats

Dive into a holistic experience in a remarkable setting

Our renowned Yoga Retreats are back for the 2022 season!

Yoga is one of the most efficient and enjoyable ways to find peace and harmony. The benefits of practicing yoga include reducing stress and negative thoughts, improving mental and body health and increasing flexibility. It is the perfect way to relax and at the same time get in touch with your body.

A Yoga Retreat in Douliana Villas is a great opportunity to take a serious break from your daily routine and habits, and rediscover your authentic self in a pristine, sought-after natural environment like the one in Apokoronas, Chania. Alongside practicing yoga, Chania and Crete in general are among the top destinations in the world to swim in marvellous beaches with crystal-clear water, hike on imposing mountains, explore traditional villages where time stands still, and experience the outstanding architecture and atmosphere of the amazing Chania city.

Detox & Union Yoga Retreat: May 26th – 29th, 2022

Yoga means union, that’s why in our Detox & Union Yoga Retreat we will focus on the union of body, mind and soul through the practices of Vinyasa yoga, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Pranayma Breathing Techniques and of course Meditation.

Through our practices and diet we will free ourselves from whatever is depressing us, toxins and thoughts. We will learn the philosophy of yoga, activate our physical body, relax and have fun.
