Join Krista Shirley for a transformative week on the enchanting island of Lefkada, Greece. Surrounded by turquoise waters and breathtaking Mediterranean views, this six-night yoga retreat invites you to deepen your practice, reconnect with yourself, and recharge in nature’s embrace.
Each morning begins with traditional Mysore-style Ashtanga yoga, guided with care and attention to your unique path. On select afternoons, we’ll gather for workshops exploring functional movement, mindfulness, and yogic philosophy—designed to support your practice both on and off the mat.
This retreat also includes two unforgettable excursions:
Meteora Monasteries Tour (Moon Day) – Journey inland to the otherworldly rock formations of Meteora, where centuries-old monasteries are perched atop dramatic cliffs.
Lefkada Culture & Taste Tour – Explore the island’s rich heritage with local artisan visits, wine tastings, meze spreads, and hidden village charm.
You'll have ample free time to swim in the Ionian Sea, relax, or explore the island at your own pace. Rental cars are encouraged for those who want to venture further.
Enjoy nourishing meals made from fresh, local ingredients, and rest easy in comfortable accommodations that offer tranquility and stunning views.
This retreat is open to all levels and offers the perfect balance of structure and freedom. Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or inspiration, join us for a week of deep connection, embodied practice, and soulful restoration.
Originally from South Carolina, Krista is a Level 2 Authorized Ashtanga teacher, authorized directly by Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Jois.
