What would happen if you traveled to one of the world’s most beautiful places, and left connected to deeper to yourself and cultivated lifelong soul friendships?
Breathe & Be Retreat is the space where you get to finally CHOOSE YOU, and what your body needs in a remote corner of heaven.
This Greek Island may not be on your radar, but let me tell you why it should be...
It's turquoise waters have led to its nickname — the Caribbean of Greece — mesmerising blues and a backdrop of white cliff fronts that cascade down to generous swatches of soft sand beaches, and lush green forests.
It's one of the few Greek islands that’s fully accessible by car, connected to the mainland by a little bridge. The island of Lefkada is located on the Ionian Sea, on the West coast of Greece, north of Ithaka and Kefalonia, Zakynthos, and south of Corfu.
From the moment you step off the plane you will be well taken care of. You get to arrive with zero plans, stress or worry, and know that every detail is taken care of so all you have to do is show up and relish everything Lefkada has to offer.
// immerse yourself in rich Greek history, art, music, and food as culture spills from the island’s fishing villages, and hubs.
Upon arrival we will spend 7 blissful days doing yoga and exploring the many sides of beautiful Lefkada meeting each day with clear intentions, yoga, breathwork, guided activities and loving nourishment that will fill your spirit with gratitude and joy.
Our private waterfront villa is situated between two Amazing Blue Bays offering breathtaking views offering world-class luxurious accomidations immersed in a Mediterranean setting.
Our Greek retreat villa offers endless opportunities to enjoy the best of its surroundings with a myriad of adventures & activities at walking distance.
Take a stroll to the local beach at only 5 minutes walk, experience its crystal waters, sail through the Ionian islands, dine at the local taverna or have a coffee at local quaint coffee shop.
The most perfect spot for contemplation, relaxation and tranquility.
In the evening relish in the pastel color sunset as it breaks into the horizon..
This retreat will offer a variety of yoga classes, which will flow with the rhythm of the experience - from uplifting vinyasa flows to support strength & vitality - to deeply relaxing Yin Yoga Nidra, allowing you to cultivate a nourished mind and body after a day of excursions.
Each morning will start off with breathwork - a journey to open, to allow, to soften, to surrender, to let go of control, to trust, to help release emotional debris out of the body and heal our nervous system.

It takes a lifetime for someone to discover Greece, but it only takes an instance to fall in love with her.
