Fitness, yoga, and tranquility

The venue
LEFKADA RETREAT
Beautifully modern and calm interiors make this private resort a total beach paradise.
Set across two spacious villas, the venue offers a bright and airy studio with views across the bay and mountains.
And with two pools and other shaded areas, there’s plenty of space to relax and take in the views.
Situated between two beautiful blue bays, the venue is just five minutes walk away from great beaches, tavernas and water sports.
ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS
Featuring breathtaking views across the bays, the rooms at Lefkada are the perfect place to relax.
There are options for solo travellers and shared rooms for two guests — see the full schedule for options and prices.
The programme
BARRE & FITNESS
Expect to be challenged in Yaz’s classes, and discover muscles you never knew you had — all while moving to an absolute banging playlist!
BARRE: This is a low impact class designed to strengthen and tone muscles. We move at a slower pace, focusing on core strength and stability. This is a great class for anyone living with long/short term injuries and also pre- and post-natal.
LOW IMPACT FITNESS: These classes will concentrate on moving with no high intervals such as running or jumping. Even so, you’ll still work up a huge sweat and feel a few heart racers. The class is designed to gain strength, tone and sculpt.
You’ll have 2–3 sessions a day with Yaz, taking in classes and educational workshops. A yoga class with Will helps prepare you for the week.
YOGA & MOBILITY
Yoga instructor Will loves making his classes fun and welcoming for all.
Taking a flow and restore approach, this is all about you having a good time and coming away feeling brilliant – aiding your recovery, helping prepare your muscles for an upcoming week of barre and fitness.
