Wendy Invites You to Join Her on Her 'Re-Nourish Your Soul-Shine' Yoga Retreat to the Pristine & Idyllic Island of Kefalonia, Greece - Saturday 30th Aug - Saturday 6th September '2025'
Think pink terracotta villas, centred around lush green gardens dotted with fruit tree groves & a serene swimming pool, amid picture-perfect olive groves with a traditional well, organic vegetable gardens, their own vineyards & views of Mount Aenos.
Just a stone-throw from your sun-lounger, you’ll connect to the pristine beauty of Spartia – a stunning white sandy beach with shimmering crystal – clear, turquoise, shallow waters of the Ionian sea, boasting backdrops of beautiful fir forests & underground caves, coves & warm ocean to re-nourish your senses & remind you what life’s all about.
Beach House
Studio
Villa
Days filled with nutritious foods, chakra vinyasa sunshine morning flows & slow, intuitive, somatic moonshine afternoon restorative & therapeutic practices. Plenty of free time to pause, reflect, bathe, read a book, take a walk into the pine forest, amble to the turquoise shimmering ocean or…just be still.
We absolutely hope this retreat speaks your soul-language & you’ll join Wendy for a yoga retreat that amplifies your energy, life & practice.
Guests can choose from a variety of accommodation options, either within the luxurious main villa or the smaller stylish studios and apartments. Guests may enjoy the many shared facilities & common areas to connect, share & inspire.
Around the estate are plenty of quiet spots for visitors to take time out & explore, spacious enough for guests to enjoy plenty of solo moments, yet conveniently laid out to provide easy access to all the shared facilities. Just 300 metres from Spartia beach you can take advantage of the local restaurants and cafes. Just a short stroll down hill offers you the choice of the two nearest beaches, both with trademark Kefalonian crystal-clear shallow waters. The rocky headland provides plenty to explore with a snorkel and mask, as well as some rocks to leap from for the more adventurous types. Spartia beach offers the advantage of the local facilities for those who want to take a drink or snack, and Thermanti offers the advantage of being secluded from the crowds as it is only accesible by foot.
Kefalonia itself is a lush green island in the Ionian, famous for it’s turquoise seas and clean, white sandy beaches.
We absolutely hope this speaks your soul-language & you’ll join Wendy for a yoga retreat that amplifies your energy, life & practice.
An idea of the daily schedule – these times may be tweaked and are not set-in-stone, if you are usually run by a watch perhaps its time to let yourself be run by the sunrise & sunset, re-setting your circadian rhythms.

Chakra vinyasa sunshine morning flows which generate solar radiance to embody the energy of mother nature and sunlight directly into the body. These practices will be dynamic, breathwork, meditations, at a playful growth edge, themed, journalling, fun and insightful. Expect a warm, balanced glow before breakfast.
Afternoon/sunset Sublime Nectar Practice: slow, intuitive, somatic moonshine, restorative & therapeutic, to capture the golden hours of magic within your body and senses. These practices will consist of: movement meditations, somatic release, restorative yoga, yoga nidra, divine feminine, moon wisdom & Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls guided deep rest.
All levels are most welcome, although, Alchemise Yoga Studio recommends complete beginners begin by practicing at the studio (or elsewhere) before the retreat. As a marker, the afternoon sessions will be suitable for beginners, the morning sessions will require some previous yoga embodiment. Some experience is preferable and recommended to gain the most out of this retreat offering.
