Details

We’ve been blessed with the opportunity to return for a third time and we are so looking forward to welcoming you to join us at Vericoco in the south of Kefalonia, Greece. Our 7-day retreat will offer an idyllic & nourishing haven for you to pause, slow down and reconnect to that part of you that gets forgotten or ignored when life is so busy. Devoting guilt free time to yourself to attend to your needs and remember what it is that brings you joy. Going on a yoga retreat can be a truly magical experience, your chance to disconnect from the noise & pressures of daily life. Our aim is on nourishing both body and mind through guided yoga practices and prompted self enquiry. You go at your own pace, think of it as your refuge to decide what's best for you. Join us with your partner, friend or on your own. It's a fabulous way to meet new friends with like minded souls, with self worth and yoga in common!

During the last 10 yrs I have been very lucky to go to many different yoga retreats home and away. My first Empowering yoga retreat at Vericoco did not dissapoint. Beautiful villa, pool and views. Vericoco staff were so friendly welcoming and talented 'cooks'. The food exceeded my expectations, absolutely delicious. The other guests and Jo were all fabulous people which went a long way to enhance my experience. The atmosphere at meal times and in the Shala was lighthearted and such fun. A precious week to add to my yoga adventure memories....namaste and thank you x
