Ashtanga Yoga Retreat in Northwest Corfu: 6 - 11 September 2027

Escape to the beautiful island of Corfu with me for a few days of yoga, sunshine and space to simply be.

We’ll be staying at a beautiful, intimate retreat space tucked away amongst the olive groves in the hills of northwest Corfu, near the village of Pagi. Surrounded by nature, with beautiful views, a gorgeous yoga shala and the sea not too far away, it’s the perfect setting to step away from the usual routine.

This retreat is all about giving yourself some proper time and space. We’ll practise Ashtanga yoga each morning, spend time exploring and relaxing, eat delicious vegetarian food together and have a couple of afternoons to go a little deeper into our practice.

And, of course, there’ll be plenty of time for swimming, reading, walking, sitting in the sunshine and doing absolutely nothing.

Location

We’ll be based in the peaceful village of Pagi, in the northwest of Corfu, surrounded by ancient olive groves and the beautiful landscape of the island.

The retreat space has been created with simplicity, warmth and connection in mind, with a gorgeous yoga shala looking out across the countryside, outdoor spaces for relaxing and gathering, and a saltwater pool for those lazy afternoons in the sun.

The sea is close by, and there are plenty of opportunities to explore beyond - from walks through the olive groves and mountain villages to swimming in the turquoise Ionian waters.

Accommodation

The accommodation is small and intimate, with just 6 private rooms, between the main house and two cosy tiny houses tucked amongst the trees.

The rooms are simple, comfortable and beautifully designed, with natural materials and a calm Mediterranean feel.

The main house also has shared spaces for cooking, eating and hanging out, giving the whole place a lovely sense of togetherness.

It has that feeling of being away from it all without needing to sacrifice comfort.

Additional accomodation is available in the village - just a 5 minute walk

Catering

Food is a big part of our time together.

Brunch, a light afternoon snack and dinner are included each day, with all meals being vegetarian.

Think fresh, nourishing food, plenty of Greek-inspired flavours and relaxed meals eaten together — with no need to rush off anywhere afterwards.

Yoga

Our mornings will start with Ashtanga yoga, with five morning classes across the retreat.

The practices will give us a chance to explore the Ashtanga method, build strength and steadiness, and enjoy the rhythm and focus that comes from practising together.

There will also be two afternoon workshops, giving us more time to explore different aspects of the practice in a little more depth.

Whether you have a regular Ashtanga practice or are newer to the method, the intention is to create a supportive, friendly space where you can practise at your own pace.

Leisure time

Although yoga is at the heart of the retreat, there won't be a packed schedule.

You'll have time in the afternoons to swim in the saltwater pool, read under the olive trees, take a walk, head to the beach, explore a little of Corfu or simply lie down and do nothing.

That's part of the retreat too.

Five days of practice, sunshine, good food and a change of scenery — with enough space around it all to actually feel like you're on holiday.

If you fancy venturing beyond the retreat, there’s plenty to discover nearby. The village of Pagi offers a lovely glimpse of authentic Corfiot life, with family-run tavernas, little cafés and local places to wander. You can stop for a Greek coffee at the 007 café, where parts of For Your Eyes Only were filmed, enjoy a relaxed meal at a traditional village taverna or spend some time at the lovely village pottery and café, where you can enjoy a coffee, browse the handmade ceramics and even have a go at making some pottery yourself. For walkers, if you fancy heading to the coast, there’s a beautiful walk from Arillas along the shoreline to a little chapel overlooking the sea — a lovely spot to pause, take in the view and simply enjoy a moment of peace.
