Join Sally for a rejuvenating and enlightening yoga and meditation Sunset Retreat for the Soul in stunning Santorini, one of the most beautiful and magical Greek islands! We will be staying at the lovely, historical resort Aethrio Sunset Village Resort in the heart of the picturesque town of Oia with its whitewashed, cliffside cave homes, blue domed buildings, stunning sunsets and gorgeous views over the turquoise Aegean Sea during our daily yoga and meditation practices on the sunset terrace.
Enjoy a sunset cruise in the Caldera in the Aegean Sea with swimming, dinner and sunset, coastal hikes with stunning views over the Caldera and Aegean Sea, hike on a volcano, swim in hot springs, visit the island of Thirassia, enjoy wine tasting and food pairing at a local winery, and explore beautiful Santorini island with its volcanic red and black beaches in your free time. Nourish your body with healthy Mediterranean cuisine, relax and rejuvenate by the outdoor pool and practice the art of being present with beauty all around. We are excited to explore everything this beautiful island of Santorini has to offer and we look forward to sharing this yoga and meditation retreat for the soul with you in stunning Santorini!
The morning yoga classes will be vinyasa flow yoga for all levels, linking movement with the breath for an energizing yet relaxing flow. With creative and balanced sequences, strengthening and lengthening, detoxing and pranayama, you will experience a strong, safe and supportive practice. Modifications and options will be provided for different abilities. You'll have the opportunity to play with some backbends, arm balances, and inversions if you choose, and cool down with some deep stretches to restore the body and mind.
The evening classes will be yin or restorative yoga, with longer held seated and supine postures, stretching, lengthening, releasing tension and creating more space in deeper layers of connective tissues in the body. Yin yoga is also a perfect opportunity to journey inwards and practice meditation. All levels are welcome as we provide options and modifications so everyone feels comfortable.
We look forward to sharing this journey with you in stunning Santorini, Greece!
"The Santorini Greece trip was SO much better than I ever could have imagined!!!!!! Sally pulls together an incredible group of humans from such diverse backgrounds and locals, and had activities for all. The excursions were incredible, my favorite was the entire day out on the sailboat, hiking, swimming and dancing the day away before watching the sun go down, really something right out of a dream! The food and restaurant choices were fabulous. The accommodations were gorgeous, this is the best location! I look forward to jumping in on future retreats!!!" - Dorinda D, Santorini Retreat, October 2024

I hope to join another one of your international retreats in the near future. With love and light." - Paola G, April 2024
Aethrio Sunset Village Hotel hosts many yoga and wellness retreats and is the perfect, charming location for us to relax and recharge. In the heart of the famous and luxurious village of Oia, it's just a few minutes walk to local sights, shops and restaurants, whilst also offers a calm, quiet and secluded space for yoga, meditation, watching the sunset from the Sunset Terrace, relaxing by the pool and enjoying incredible vistas over the Aegean Sea. Note that the town of Oia is on a hill and there are staircases at the hotel and some steps around the town of Oia. The hotel porter can assist with luggage as needed.
Just 18 kilometers from the Santorini airport (JTR), the hotel is easily accessible by car or bus. Many international flights will have a layover in Athens (ATH) or another European city on the way to Santorini. Another option (and possibly more cost effective) is to fly into Athens, then get the Athens to Santorini ferry.

"Santorini yoga retreat was such a beautiful well balanced experience. Sally is a wonderful teacher she was very relaxed non judgmental and was very happy to go at everyone’s pace.
