Step onto one of the most beautiful and magical Greek islands for a truly rejuvenating and enlightening experience: the Santorini Sunset for the Soul Yoga and Meditation Retreat. This five-night journey is led by Sally Mitchell, founder, leader, and teacher of Body Flows Retreats. We invite you to practice the art of being present and nourish your body amidst the stunning scenery of Santorini, Greece.
Our retreat is based at the lovely, historical Aethrio Sunset Village Resort, situated in the heart of the picturesque town of Oia. This traditional location is famous for its whitewashed, cliffside cave homes, blue-domed buildings, spectacular sunsets, and gorgeous views over the turquoise Aegean Sea.
The core of this retreat is a balanced blend of mindful movement, healthy Mediterranean cuisine, and cultural immersion, all set against the backdrop of the iconic Santorini Caldera.
Guests will participate in daily yoga classes, available for all levels, with guided meditations. All sessions are held on a beautiful outdoor sunset terrace overlooking the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea.
The morning classes are Vinyasa Flow Yoga, designed to be an energizing yet mindful practice. With creative and balanced sequences, these classes emphasize strengthening, lengthening, detoxing, and pranayama (breathwork), providing a strong, safe, and supportive experience.
The evening sessions offer restorative Yin Yoga or Restorative Yoga. These practices utilize longer held seated and supine postures to stretch and release tension in the deeper connective tissues. Yin Yoga serves as a perfect opportunity to journey inwards and deepen your meditation practice.
The retreat package includes fun and well-organized excursions that provide a fun and comprehensive exploration of the island:
An afternoon/evening highlight is the Sunset Cruise on the Aegean Sea. This excursion includes unforgettable experiences such as hiking on a volcano, swimming in volcanic hot springs, and enjoying dinner aboard the sailboat while watching the spectacular sunset.
Guests will enjoy a Coastal Walk/Hike along the Caldera rim, offering truly stunning views. We also include a sophisticated Food and Wine Pairing experience at a local winery, providing a taste of local Mediterranean cuisine.
Enjoy free time to explore the island, visit the volcanic red, black and white beaches, discover other towns, relax and rejuvenate by the outdoor pool, or arrange a massage or spa treatment, for additional cost.
Your stay includes five nights accommodation in comfortable, spacious rooms designed in traditional Cycladic style at the Aethrio Sunset Village Resort.
The retreat includes nourishing meals focused on healthy Mediterranean cuisine.
Breakfasts are a traditional Greek buffet served at the hotel. Dinners include three group dinners at local restaurants, one dinner aboard the Sunset Cruise, and one dinner as part of the five-course wine tasting and food pairing experience. The food is mostly plant-based with fish and poultry options, and special dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free) can be accommodated.
This Santorini Sunset for the Soul Yoga and Meditation Retreat is a top-notch, holistic experience that promises to be nothing short of phenomenal, allowing you to truly relax and connect with yourself and the beautiful environment.
