Women's Wellness & Yoga Retreat on the Greek Coast

The retreat runs from mid-afternoon Friday through late morning Sunday, giving you two full nights and roughly 48 hours of guided practice, rest, and reflection. Each morning begins with a 60-90 minute Hatha Vinyasa class — expect sun salutations, standing sequences, and enough movement to wake up your body without exhausting it. Evenings shift to slower, more restorative work: Yin Yoga holds, Yoga Nidra (guided relaxation where you lie down and follow verbal instructions into a deeply restful state), and breathwork focused on calming your nervous system.

One of the sessions is a dedicated workshop on personal rhythm and Ayurveda-inspired self-care. This isn't abstract philosophy — Mia covers practical topics like how to structure your mornings, what foods support your energy levels, and how to recognise when you're pushing too hard. She's currently studying Clinical Nutrition alongside her Ayurvedic training, so the guidance is grounded in both traditions.

Petra & Fos Boutique Hotel & Spa sits on a hillside above the water, built from local stone in a style that fits the rugged Mani landscape. The outdoor pool has views across the bay, and there's a spa and fitness centre available to guests. The hotel restaurant serves breakfast each morning (included in your retreat price), and you're free to eat lunch and dinner wherever you like — the village of Oitylo is walkable, and Limeni's waterfront tavernas are a short drive away.

Mani itself is worth knowing about. It's the middle finger of the Peloponnese, a region of tower villages, Byzantine churches, and coastline that drops steeply into the Aegean. October is off-season, which means fewer tourists, mild weather (though mornings and evenings cool down), and a pace that matches what this retreat is trying to offer. The dramatic, sparse landscape — stone, sea, dry hills — is part of the experience, not just a backdrop.

This retreat is explicitly for women, and solo travellers are common. If you're coming alone and want to share a room with another participant, that's an option at the lower price point. If you want your own space, private rooms are available.
