SAILING YOGA RETREAT GREECE

Saronic Islands 21 – 28 Sept 2024

Seven unforgettable days of Sailing & Yoga with the yacht hosts Aga & Gregg. We were left swaying with their warm hospitality, the boat became our home and we felt like a family. Connected through our daily life on the boat & the power of Yoga we left with our souls nourished & our hearts wide open!

Invigorating morning yoga practices under the sun with views over different beaches, sunset meditations, chanting and dancing under the moon and stars and learning about the power of the chakras were all weaved into our retreat experience.

Our sailing included visits to different islands each day, Aga fed us with healthy nurturing breakfasts and lunches, then we’d explore different food in the local tavernas each night. We swam in beautiful quiet bays with turquoise waters, visited to the famous winery in the Peloponnese, learnt how to taste and combine wine with food. We snorkelled above the sunken city & ate under the Orange Tree in Epidavoros, bathed in the Methana thermal springs, and enjoyed the quietest of nights in the Secret Harbour where we did our Goddess Ceremony dressed in white.

The magic of the experience pulls us strongly & we are looking forwards to our next Yoga & Sailing Retreat with Aga & Gregg!

Testimonials

‘A wonderful weekend escape where I connected with like-minded people and nurtured my body, mind and soul with mindfulness and creative practices of yoga and art. The Yoga and Art retreat with Evelina and Albena was nestled in the picturesque Coach House, a natural venue, making it a standout choice for those seeking a holistic experience.
For me, Evelina and Albena are a brilliant dynamic duo, and their friendship creates an atmosphere of warmth, love, and positive energy.
Their well-prepared sessions seamlessly integrate yoga and art, exploring creativity and opening the mind to new practices.
It was filled with insightful moments, laughter, meaningful rituals, dance, and music, all contributing to a holistic experience. Evelina and Albena’s delicious meals are served lovingly, nurturing open conversations and spontaneous moments of joy. Looking forward to the next one! Thank you, Gracias, Namaste.

‘We had a wonderful weekend at the Coach House practicing Yoga & Art with Albena & Evelina. It was a great opportunity to relax, move & create and spend time with a group of like-mided yogis. The setting was perfect – a wonderful space in the countryside, with separate rooms for yoga, art and socialising. Everyobody was able to socialise or take some time away in another area and relax.

The sessions were very thoughtfully put together and varied throughout the weekend, we danced, chanted, meditated, laughed, reflected, walked, created, sang. We had brunch in the garden and an Art & Yoga session in the sunshine.

Thank you ladies for a wonderful weekend, I can’t wait to do it all again soon!’

DARKNESS TO LIGHT: Day Yoga Retreat

Sat 16 Dec 2023 Yoga Hook Finchley 

We had a blissful day yoga retreat celebrating the birth of light during the Winter Solstice!
A transformative journey through ancient yogic scriptures, that empowered the participants to reignite the full potential of their mind.  It was a full day immersion into movement, stillness, profound yogic philosophy, engaging discussions, interactive group work, nourishing vegan food, and a deep Yoga Nidra practice.

Testimonials

‘’I really enjoyed Evelina’s winter solstice workshop It was very informative and relaxing workshop! I particularly loved the introduction of yoga Nidra which is something I now regularly practice to help with stress and promote relaxation. I would highly recommend Evelina and her workshops.’

Lara Yank, 7 Jul 2024

‘’It was a wondrous and enjoyable event that really helped me reset an over-energised nervous system and helped me focus on the light, on the breath, on the real fundamentals of life. Highly recommended.

Cornwall Yoga Weekend | Redruth 7 – 9 Jun 2017

Testimonials

Albena Varbanova, 17 Jun 2017
‘I had an incredible experience during my 2-night yoga retreat in Cornwall with Evelina. This retreat was an absolute gem – the perfect combination of relaxation, yoga, healthy food (including vegan options), and wonderful company. We stayed in a lovely, cozy house in a peaceful area, but not too far from the town for those, like me, who enjoy walks in small countryside towns. The surroundings were perfect for leisurely walks in the scenic area. Our daily yoga practice took place in a beautiful rustic barn with a mesmerizing view of the garden. Evelina was warm and led us through two daily yoga sessions, including breathing practice and meditation. The companionship was great, and I enjoyed our evening gatherings and the time spent together. I came back home recharged, relaxed, and energized, all at the same time. :-)’
Retno Widuri, 25 Aug 2017

Great location, gorgeous cottage…it was very relaxing!

When it came to yoga, I was a real beginner but Evelina made it so easy for me.
