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 booking form 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.

Yaz had put so much effort into the different classes. They were well thought through and had a good amount of variety. The music was also so good!

FAQs

I’M A BEGINNER, IS THIS RETREAT FOR ME?

We welcome all levels of experience. If you’re brand new, we’d like you to have tried at least 4–5 sessions prior to the retreat to pick up the basics and fundamentals of a Barre class. If you don’t have a studio near you, we can send you links to online classes and so on — use the button below to contact retreat organiser, Will for more information.

IS IT OK TO COME ALONE?

Yes, most guests are solo travelers and we welcome single riders! It’s an opportunity for you to fully immerse yourself in your practice but also to meet like-minded individuals. Strangers often come away with new friends on retreats.

CAN I SPREAD THE COST?

Yes! Payment plans are available. Get in touch with Will to set up a payment plan.

WHAT'S YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?

Please ensure you have appropriate travel insurance. If travel restrictions come into place due to border restrictions or due to COVID-19, your space is refundable/transferable to another retreat. Outside of these terms, the deposit is non-refundable. Your balance can be refunded up to ten weeks prior to the retreat. If you find another client to fill your spot, an £85 admin fee will be charged to change the name, booking and rooming details.
