The Ionian Pause

Awaken to the beauty of being; inspired by the rhythms of the Ionian Sea.

The Ionian Pause Yoga Retreat is an invitation to pause, reset and breathe deeper after the fullness of summer.

Over six slow, sunlit days, you’ll move, rest and reconnect in a setting where turquoise water meets wild mountains, and time softens with the sound of the waves.

Imagine this....Waking up to sunrise ocean dips.

Flowing through mindful practices overlooking sweeping bays.

Afternoons spent sunbathing, wandering island paths, exploring hidden coves; or simply doing nothing at all.

Evenings invite you into stillness with restorative practices, sound baths and philosophy woven through gentle conversation.

This retreat is where yoga, community and the wild beauty of Greece come together in an unforgettable experience.
