Yoga and Hiking Week on Corfu's Agios Gordios Coast

A typical day here runs to a rhythm. Yoga at 8.30am, breakfast at 10am, then an activity at 11.15am — a hike, a kayak trip, or a walk into Corfu Town depending on what's on that day. From 3pm to 6pm nothing is scheduled. At 6pm there's a second yoga and meditation session, then dinner at 7.45pm, cooked in-house. The morning and evening classes are different practices, so you might do a dynamic Vinyasa in the morning and a slow Yin or Yoga Nidra in the evening.

What separates this from a standard yoga week is the activity programme and the setting. The house is in Agios Gordios, a village on Corfu's west coast with a long sandy beach and a headland behind it. Guided hiking and kayaking are part of the week rather than add-ons, and the group eats breakfast and dinner together, which is how most people end up knowing each other by day two. There are also spontaneous dancing nights with Greek dancing and salsa.

The instructors are certified yoga teachers who rotate through the season, bringing different backgrounds and styles. Classes are kept accessible — the team adjusts poses to suit who's in the room, so a complete beginner and someone with years of practice can be in the same session. Expect hands-on adjustments if you want them.

Rooms are air-conditioned with en-suite bathrooms, private sea-view balconies, a kettle, a fridge and Wi-Fi. The rooftop terrace faces the sea and is set up for sunbathing, with sunbeds on the sun deck. Free parking is available if you're driving, and airport transfers on arrival and departure are included for all participants — you just send your flight details ahead of time.

Extra activities can be arranged at additional cost: daily boat trips to Paxos and Antipaxos, massages from relaxation to sports massage, day trips to Paleokastritsa, e-bike hire, private yoga sessions, stand-up paddleboarding, and group tours around the island. Check-in starts at 1pm and check-out from rooms is 10am, but you can stay on the property, join classes and meals, and leave your luggage with them until your departure.
