The Love of Yoga. The Experience of Greece.

Retreat to Greece ~

YP and Julia Haramis are excited to invite you to Retreat to Greece with us for eight days of sun, sand & yoga on the northeast coast of Crete. We will be staying at Elounda Bay Palace, a 5-star hotel with luxe accommodations and private beach access. Practice yoga daily surrounded by lush gardens and the Mediterranean Sea. Tour nearby towns and eat food fresh from local organic farms. You will return rejuvenated, invigorated, sun kissed, and ready for more yoga.

A yoga retreat will not only enhance your current practice and deepen your understanding, but it will also give you a new found love for your body & your yoga. Students return from retreats with a renewed energy not only for their jobs, loved ones, and daily lives, but for their personal yoga practice as well.
