BODY & BREATH
a week of slow living along the Aegean Sea
June 12 - 18th, 2026

If European summer had a personality, it would be the Greek islands. This retreat is your invitation to slow down and enjoy it the way the locals do: mornings on the reformer, salty ocean swims, unhurried dinners, and restorative practices as the sky turns golden.

TESTIMONIAL
“Lexie was the best retreat host I have ever had. I am a yoga teacher myself and a wellness Nurse Practitioner, and have also been on many yoga retreats. This by far was the best one! Lexie is attentive, thoughtful, and you will feel so cared for as a retreat attendee. The mornings flows were fun and dynamic and the evening was restorative and rejuvenating. The activities were a fun bonus. I would absolutely go on Lexie's retreat again!!”

Testimonial
“Retreat in Puglia was everything I didn’t know I needed! After a whirlwind year of big life changes - heartbreak, burnout, and moving - I came to this retreat craving space to just be. What I found was so much more: deep rest, real connection, belly laughs, healing movement, and the kind of beauty that stays with you long after you leave.
Lexie created such a thoughtful, supportive experience that let me soften and fully be myself. From morning breathwork to intentional dinners, every detail was perfect and needed. I left feeling lighter, more grounded and truly reconnected to myself.
If you’re even considering going - go! You won’t regret it.”

FAQs

You’ll fly into Athens International Airport (ATH). From Athens, you can take a ferry to Amorgos — the ferry ride typically takes 7 to 9 hours, depending on the route and operator. I’ll send recommended ferry times once you register.
My personal preference is to take a quick domestic flight from Athens to Naxos (around 40 minutes) and then catch a ferry from Naxos to Amorgos, which is usually 2.5 to 3 hours. This option makes the travel day feel much smoother.
Both routes work well — it just depends on your preferred pace of travel.
Please plan to arrive by 5 pm on June 12th to allow time to settle in before our welcome circle and opening dinner. -
