Kefalonia Yoga Retreat 2027
Seven nights of yoga, sea air and slow Greek days in an olive grove above the Ionian sea.
A week that gives you back to yourself
You know the feeling at the end of a Wakefield class – softer shoulders, a quieter head. Now imagine waking up to that every day for a week, with the sea glinting below you and nothing on your list but the next meal.
This is our first studio retreat abroad, and we have chosen somewhere special: a small, family-run retreat in the south of Kefalonia, set among olive trees with views of Mount Aenos and the Ionian sea. It is a place built for practice – and for doing absolutely nothing in between.
Whether you come to us every week or have never stepped on a mat, you will be looked after from the moment you arrive.
What’s included
- 7 nights’ accommodation in villas, studios or beach houses set in private gardens
- Morning yoga every day – energising flow to wake the body
- Evening yoga every day – slow, restorative practice as the sun drops
- Guided meditation, breathwork and a yoga nidra session under the stars
- Freshly prepared breakfast and dinner, much of it from the retreat’s own organic garden
- Practise on a 120m² covered wooden deck, hidden in the olive grove
- All mats, bolsters, blocks, belts and blankets provided – just bring yourself
- Free time to swim in the 11m pool or walk 300m down to Spartia beach
- Welcome evening and a farewell dinner with the retreat’s own wine and olive oil
- Small-group care from your Yoga Wakefield teacher all week
Not included: flights, airport transfers, travel insurance, lunches and optional excursions.
Where you’ll stay
The yoga deck
An open-air, fully covered deck sunk into the olive grove – private, shaded at midday and bathed in soft light morning and evening. The floor has a gentle give that your knees will thank you for.
Your room
Simple, stylish rooms with air conditioning, many with their own bathroom and balcony. Choose a private room or share a twin with a friend – or with someone who will be a friend by Tuesday.
Pool, gardens & beach
Lounge by the pool, swing in a hammock with a book, or wander down to two beaches with the clear, shallow water Kefalonia is famous for.
Food that feels like a holiday
Meals are cooked fresh each day with a Greek and Mediterranean heart – vegetables picked that morning from the retreat garden, local cheeses, warm bread and their own extra-virgin olive oil. Evenings are spent around long tables under a reed-shaded roof.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free? No problem – just let us know when you book.
