5-Day Yoga & Meditation Wellness Retreat in Neochori, Lefkada

The retreat is anchored by two daily practices: a morning session of Hatha yoga, meditation, and pranayama, and an afternoon gathering that might include alignment work, yoga nidra, or group reflection. The morning practice is progressive, building gently day by day, and is accessible to all levels—beginners are welcome, and instructors adapt poses to individual needs.

Food is central to the Foodpath ethos. Meals are prepared by experienced chefs and are mainly plant-based, drawing on Mediterranean flavors. Breakfast and dinner are served daily, with a brunch on some days. The kitchen is flexible with dietary requirements, covering gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and sugar-conscious options among others. Guests often pick up recipe ideas to take home.

The retreat is hosted by Antonios (known as Shankar), who has been trained in energetic diets, yoga, and meditation, and holds a certified yoga teaching qualification. He has followed a continuous sadhana practice since 2018 under Guruji Rajkumar Baswar. Miss Kareena, a facilitator who specializes in embodiment and nervous-system work, may also be present during the retreat, depending on the dates.

The villa itself is simple and peaceful. Accommodation is in shared or private rooms with a garden and mountain views. There is a yoga deck among the trees where most practices happen. The village of Neochori has no shops, but Nydri, 7 minutes away by taxi, has cafés and everything else you might need. The retreat also offers free pickup from Aktion National Airport (PVK), about 40 minutes away.
