YogaSoul Retreats · Greece 2026
You’ve been running on empty long enough. The way most people are expected to live—always producing, always available, always putting everything else first—leaves no real room for the kind of rest that actually holds. That’s not a personal failing. It’s a design problem. Come rest somewhere beautiful—a private estate on the Aegean, morning yoga with the sea in view, a chef from Athens, and a small group who’ll feel like family by Thursday. Rachel and Eric keep it intimate on purpose, so what happens here actually can.

The Experience
Koufonisia is a fully walkable, crowd-free gem tucked in the heart of the Cyclades—where the water is so blue it barely looks real, the beaches are golden and empty, and the village is small enough to walk in ten minutes. Most people have never heard of it. Those who have been never forget it.
This is where Rachel and Eric have chosen to bring a small group of students for a week of yoga, rest, good food, and genuine connection. The practices are intentional. The days are unrushed. The island does the rest.
All-levels vinyasa flow, breath-led movement, and short meditation each morning to awaken your body and set a purposeful tone for the day.
Wind down each evening with yin yoga, yoga nidra, guided meditation, or restorative practice—restoring your nervous system and deepening inner stillness.
Cliff jumping, beach swimming, hiking, sea kayaking, scooter rides, village wandering—Koufonisia’s turquoise waters and golden sand are yours to discover.
Two nourishing family-style meals daily prepared by a private chef from Athens—locally sourced vegetarian, vegan, and fresh seafood options.
Structured space for journaling, quiet reflection, and mindfulness—practical tools you’ll carry home to reset and find balance in everyday life.
An intimate retreat for a small group of like-minded souls. The connections built on these islands tend to last a lifetime.

Our Intention
You come home different. Quieter in the best way—with a handful of people who feel like they’ve known you for years, a practice that finally has room to breathe, and a week inside you that you’ll keep returning to for a long time. That’s what we’re building here.

Your Guides
The husband-and-wife team who will guide you every step of the way—on the mat, at the table, and on every island adventure.
Rachel and Eric have been leading retreats together for years—and the thing students consistently say is that they feel genuinely cared for, not just instructed. Rachel holds the yoga with depth and warmth. Eric holds the space and the logistics with calm and good humor. Together they create an environment where it’s safe to slow down, go inward, and actually rest.
They’ve taken groups to Greece before. They know the ferries, the best beaches, the tavernas worth finding, and exactly when to leave for the afternoon session so everyone catches the golden hour light. You’re not joining a tour—you’re joining their table.
YogaSoul has guided students through 28+ years of practice, trained 300+ teachers, and led international retreats across Greece, Central America, and beyond.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you book.
A private estate set on a hillside with sweeping views of the Aegean—not a hotel, not a resort. Think open terraces, outdoor dining, a pool for afternoon swims, a hot tub for evenings, and a sauna to close out the day. The yoga space looks out over the water. The golden sandy beaches are a short walk from the gate. The island is fully walkable and genuinely quiet traditional greek experience.
The nearby village is within a 10–15 minute walk. Several beaches are also within easy walking distance. There are many more islands to visit, as well as mainland Greece, if you decide to stay longer and explore on your own after the retreat ends.
You’ll be pleasantly delighted by the food prepared by our private chef from Athens—a wide array of vegetarian and vegan, locally sourced cuisine. Locally caught fish and seafood will also be served several times during the week. All meals are served family-style. If you have dietary concerns, let us know prior to arrival and we’ll do everything we can to accommodate you.
Plan to fly into Athens, Santorini, or Naxos, then take a ferry to Koufonisia. We recommend flying into Greece the day before the retreat starts. Then plan on a late morning or early afternoon ferry on May 30th, as the retreat will initiate that afternoon with a traditional Greek village festival! Rachel, Eric, or our staff will meet you at the dock and bring you to our home for the week.

Absolutely—and many people do. Solo travelers are warmly welcomed and quickly become part of the group. This retreat is intentionally small and intimate, which means connections form naturally and deeply. If you’re traveling solo and want a shared room to keep costs down, just let us know and we’ll match you with a compatible roommate.
Yes—the Couple’s Rooms are designed exactly for this. Each person pays $3,079 ($6,158 total for the two of you), and you’ll share a private ensuite room together. Simply have both of you complete checkout, or reach out to us at [email protected] and we’ll coordinate your rooms.
Keep it light—Koufonisia is a casual, barefoot kind of island. Bring comfortable yoga clothes, a swimsuit (or two), a light layer for cooler evenings, sturdy sandals, sunscreen, and a journal. A reusable water bottle is a must. Leave the formal wear at home. Oh—and bring Euros in cash for gratuities and anything you pick up in the village.
All levels are welcome. Morning classes are vigorous and all-levels—Rachel is skilled at offering modifications and meeting each student exactly where they are. Evening sessions are gentle and restorative by design. You don’t need to be an advanced practitioner to get tremendous benefit from this week.
A $500 fee applies to transfer your reservation. You may transfer your spot to another person, or if the retreat is full, your room will go to the waitlist and a refund (minus $500) will be issued once your spot is filled. Cancellations within two months of the retreat start date require you to fill your own spot. We strongly recommend travel insurance for international travel.
How to Reserve
Simple to start. A $500 deposit holds your room while you get your travel sorted.
Spots this small don’t stay open long—and neither does the window where you can give yourself a week like this.
The honest cost of waiting is another year of putting everything else first. You know that feeling well enough by now. This is the week that changes the pattern.
You fly home with a handful of people who feel like they’ve always known you, and a quietness you haven’t felt in longer than you can remember. You come home as someone who finally treated themselves as worth the trip—and who knows, now, exactly what that feels like.
