We had so much fun last year, we're doing it again in 2026...
Twice!
The first retreat is in May, and it's all about awakening your playful energy, igniting your joy and letting your inner radiance shine!
Epidavros, Greece
May 20th- 25th
Prices Starting from €845pp
Beginner friendly yoga and uplifting energy practices to help lower stress/anxiety and create more balance, harmony and vitality.
It's time for you to relax, have fun and remember who you are beneath the constant hustle and grind.
What you'll take away:
- Renewed energy and a fresh perspective. This soul nourishing experience will do wonders to re-charge your batteries and uplift your spirit. And by immersing yourself in the healing lands of Greece with new sights, tastes and smells - you'll gain a new expanded perspective on... well, everything!
- Self care tools to continue at home. All practices we learn together will be yours to take home in the form of workbooks, and audio recordings. And you'll have the confidence and know-how to keep them up by yourself.
- A deeper sense of connection, meaning and purpose. At the end of this retreat you'll have released many layers of stress, negative thoughts and limiting beliefs. You'll have connected to the deepest part of you - your limitless resource of peace, joy and compassion. This renewed sense of connection creates more clarity and meaning. You'll be able to trust yourself and your choices more.
- A healthier, stronger and more flexible body... and mind... and spirit! Just a wonderfully natural by-product of doing yoga everyday 😉
Location & Accommodation
The tranquil environment and the healing legacy of Ancient Epidavros make it the ideal location for our retreat, where you can immerse yourself in the practice of yoga amidst the echoes of ancient wisdom.
Epidavros is around a 2 hr drive from the city of Athens (& Athens Airport) and although connections are not included in the fee, I can help with transfers, car shares etc. I am very happy to share my best local travel tips for you international travellers too!
Our retreat venue includes our very own yoga shala and is a local family run business. We will stay in big, bright and lovely studios, surrounded by the lushest of green gardens. It's just a stone’s throw away from the sea and has breathtaking mountain views.
Brunch will be prepared on site and dinner will be served in a local taverna to fully immerse ourselves in the Greek culture I have fallen in love with since moving here.
Both brunch and dinner are included, and studios include kitchenettes in case you get hungry in-between and of course there are a few nearby restaurants.

Your teacher & host
Hi, I'm Tara, an experienced yoga teacher now living in Greece. I believe that everyone deserves to feel good, and to live without burden and dis-ease
I began my own yoga journey almost 30 years ago (eek!) and many years and many many studio classes later, I came to understand where the true power lay.
In living the yoga!
And after a long time battle with depression and anxiety I was ready to feel good again. I was ready to remember what my soul came here to do. Ready to connect to my own inner resource of peace, love and magic.
So I did!
And now my mission is to help you do the same. And where better than to do this in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
I cannot wait to welcome you here to Greece. 🙏🏼
What people are saying...
"The combination of working on mind and body, in such beautiful surroundings, was fantastic. Tara has a very soothing and encouraging way about her, and the feeling of connection between everyone on the retreat was very powerful. The food was very tasty too. So much choice and all delicious!"
"Sunrise swims and yoga sessions made for the perfect start to each day, and the whole experience was rejuvenating in every possible way."
"This retreat was exceptional! Tara's approach is very calm, laid back and intuitive, making each session feel deeply nourishing and just what I personally needed. Her ability to create a safe and supportive space allowed me to explore my practice at my own pace, exploring my own limits while also learning to offer myself grace and self-compassion.
The retreat itself was set in the most peaceful place and felt so calm and nurturing. I left with a clearer mind and a real feeling of connection - To myself, the group... and that beautiful part of Greece!"
"Just wanted to say thank you for making me feel so welcome at The Retreat ….I particularly enjoyed the meditation sessions and was surprised just how much I relaxed 😌. The venue was just beautiful and such a good choice!
It was fantastic meeting you all and sharing so much with all the other ladies too!"
"After the retreat I feel a bigger sense of clarity and direction. When I feel anxious I practice breathing techniques that I always found difficult before. I have also felt more connected to the world around me and feel calm and joyful in everyday life.
All the sessions were amazing, Tara guided everyone throughout in a relaxed and knowledgeable way. The workshop on the Friday afternoon really helped to give me tools to journal and question my thoughts process.
The gifts were a generous and thoughtful addition that I really didn't expect. Thank you from the bottom of my heart "
"I can’t recommend Tara’s yoga retreat highly enough! As someone who had never been on a yoga retreat before, I was initially a little apprehensive, but all my nerves went away as soon as I arrived and met the wonderful group of participants.
Tara’s expertise and thoughtful approach meant she was able to tailor the program perfectly to our needs, adjusting both the schedule and the level of yoga for everyone. The dedicated yoga studio, nestled within a lush and peaceful garden, offered the ideal environment for practice.
Each morning, we enjoyed a relaxing breakfast on the terrace after our session, and there was always plenty of time to explore the surrounding area. It was nice to not be rushing. We visited the charming old port and town nearby. We lounged on the quiet beach, chatting or reading books. In the evening, we strolled to a nearby taverna to savour delicious, traditional Greek cuisine. A perfect way to end each day.
Before the retreat I felt very tired, stressed and burnt out. I had no expectations for the retreat only that it would be a nice time away, in the sunshine and to practice yoga - I was a lapsed yogi so was looking forward to it. during the retreat I noticed that I was sleeping better, I was able to switch off all anxieties from home and immersed myself into the day ahead.
Post retreat, apart from missing being there (!) I feel much more able to face the challenges of the day and tried to incorporate the yoga teachings from the retreat into my daily life and I feel more rested and rejuvenated. The most beneficial aspects were the yoga sessions themselves and the teachings. But honestly - I loved every minute of every day whilst on the retreat.
I have rebooked a place on next year's retreat and I am looking forward to it already!
