Women's Yoga & Sailing Wellness Escape Through the Greek Islands

The retreat runs aboard a family-owned wooden yacht that's been hand-crafted in a traditional Greek style. It's not a modern catamaran — think warm wood, spacious decks, and the kind of character that comes from decades on the water. There's a friendly crew on board, including (according to past guests) a dog.

Yoga happens twice daily when the schedule allows. Mornings are vinyasa-style sessions on deck, usually around 7am before the day heats up. Evenings shift to restorative yin, sometimes paired with a crystal bowl sound bath or guided breathwork. Stacey adapts the intensity to whoever's on board — you don't need to be flexible or experienced to join.

The sailing route traces the Ionian coast south from Corfu Old Town. You'll anchor at Syvota Bay for a sunset swim on day one, then work your way through Parga, Paxos, and the Blue Lagoon at Antipaxos before looping back. Each stop brings a chance to swim, snorkel, kayak, or paddle-board — all the gear is on board. Some afternoons you'll have free time to wander a harbour village, find a coffee, or just lie on the top deck watching the coastline slide by.

Meals on the boat are home-cooked Greek food using local ingredients. Breakfast and either lunch or dinner are included each day; the other meal happens at a traditional taverna wherever you've moored. The crew accommodates dietary needs with advance notice — vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and more are all manageable.

Stacey leads sharing circles at key points in the week — arrival, midway, and closing. These are optional but most women join. The atmosphere is warm rather than intense; past reviews mention lasting group chats that continue long after the retreat ends.

You embark and disembark at Corfu Old Town Port, a five-minute taxi from the airport. The final morning includes a closing yoga session and circle before an 11:30am return to port, leaving time to explore Corfu Town or catch an afternoon flight.
