Yoga and Running retreat
Ian and I are really excited to be offering you another opportunity to experience a fantastic week at Villa Amfiario in the village of Kalamos, 40 minutes from Athens. I can't tell you how absolutely wonderful the whole experience will be. So I'm not going to try! Instead I'm inviting to you to come and join us on 12-19 September. Villa Amfiario is a family run villa and you couldn't ask for a friendlier, lovelier and more accommodating family ever! There will be daily yoga, optional runs in the hills and on the coast for those who want to run. There will be time to relax by the villa pool or chill in the gorgeous gardens. We will be taking little sight-seeing trips, go swimming in the sea and more. Details of activities will be shared soon. Oh, and did I mention the food? Divine, glorious, lovingly cooked food - all plant-based delicious goodness. The prices includes full board accommodation, 2 glasses of wine during evening meals, airport transfers (you will be picked up by one of our two dedicated drivers), entry to all the sites and plenty of coffee and snacks along the way, all yoga, all running, all trips as stated in the upcoming itinerary, and our private 24/7 butler/guide/chauffeur who is one of the family members. The family's ethos is all about providing a truly once-in-a-lifetime retreat experience and, having hosted 2 retreats there in 2022 and again in 2024, we can certainly vouch for this. The villa has the most stunning views of mountains, sea, gardens and loads of flowers. This is going to be a week that you will never forget.

Yoga: I'm a Yoga Alliance Professionals Senior Yoga Teacher and I've been sharing my passion for Yoga for 18 years.
My classes are challenging yet accessible, and most of all, they are fun. Life is too short to be serious and I absolutely believe that "there is nothing more prayerful than playfulness". The classes during the retreat will be adapted to suit for all levels. |
Running: I'm an experienced runner, member of Matlock Athletic Club and qualified fell run leader. I have a passion for trail running and love nothing better than getting to know a new area by running the local trails and hills. I've discovered some cracking runs in and around Kalamos which I'd love to share with you. I'm also a First Aider, so you will be in safe hands!
