7 Day Nourishing Yoga Retreat in Kefalonia, Greece
Our retreat location is a peaceful sanctuary designed for deep rest and rejuvenation. Nestled among olive groves, with breathtaking views of Mount Aenos and the Ionian Sea, this is a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and have room to breathe.
Our retreat space has a pool and is also just a short walk from beaches where you can relax and swim (or paddle!) in the sea. Whether you’re unwinding by the water, moving through a guided yoga practice, or enjoying nourishing meals prepared by our wonderful kitchen team, every part of this experience is designed to support your well-being.
“Perfect combo of mindfulness, effort, creativity and fun!”
— Nathalie, guest from 2024 Kefalonia retreat
Your accessible yoga instructor: Jasmine Sara
Let me take care of the planning while you come to enjoy and relax
This retreat is lead by me, a yoga teacher and retreat facilitator with 8 years experience of guiding retreats worldwide! Feedback I get about my retreats is often themed on how inclusive they feel, how people leave feeling truly rested, nourished, and already can’t wait to come back again.
This week offers yoga, movement, breath, and relaxation practices to help you cultivate balance. And with all meals lovingly prepared for you, catering to gluten-free and other dietary needs, you can fully immerse yourself in rest, knowing everything is taken care of.
Join me for a week of ease, connection, and relaxation in this peaceful Greek village, while supporting a wonderful local business in Kefalonia.
“It's amazing, you won't regret it! All you have to do is turn up and enjoy yourself, nothing else to think about it!”
— Emma, guest from 2024 Kefalonia retreat
Daily inclusive yoga classes
Each day will have a mix of flow and restorative classes. There'll also be workshops to help you deepen your Yoga practice and the opportunity to get personalised support from me.
Yoga retreats allow for much more space and time to ask questions and adapt the practices to support your unique needs so you can leave with new inspiration and self-understanding.
With about 20 years of self-practice, and 8 years as a yoga instructor, I’ve spent years developing an accessible and deeply well-informed approach to teaching Yoga. My classes are thoughtfully planned and intuitively guided to remain inclusive for different bodies and brains so that each practice meets you where you’re at.
“Amazing location, incredible food, yoga for all levels, super nice group of people - would recommend.”
— Dave, guest from 2024 Kefalonia retreat
The Beautiful Island of Kefalonia
With the bluest waters I’ve ever seen, Kefalonia is a sparkling island that's bound to re-ignite your creativity and sense of wonder. The island boasts beautiful landscapes, traditional villages, and stunning beaches, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of our quiet, secluded location.
There’s a beach just 10 minutes walking distance from our home for the week, providing a beautiful spot for a morning walk, daytime swim or watching the sunset in the evening.
Over the course of each day there will be free time to explore the beautiful island of Kefalonia and all that its stunning landscapes and beaches can offer. Take a solo walk to reflect or team up with other participants to explore together!
I’ve been to Kefalonia 3 times so I know the island and would be delighted to advise you on the best places to visit. Optional additional activities include hiking, turtle spotting at Argostoli harbour, and more.

Vericoco Retreat Centre
Vericoco Retreat in Kefalonia, Greece, is a space designed for creative practices and relaxation. It offers guests the chance to reconnect with nature alongside like minded people. It’s a place to stop, step back and recharge. They make freshly home-cooked food using mostly organic and local produce, more often than not from their own vegetable garden
Vericoco was founded in 2015 by Greek-British Lena and her partner Nikos who is local to Kefalonia. I carefully select who I partner with for retreats and having already collaborated with Lena and Nikos last year, I’m so looking forward to returning to vericoco and supporting this local family run business.
