Just like Water
14-19 June 2025
Lefkada, Greece
ONLY 3 BEDS LEFT
Mermaiding in Greek waters
Welcome to a retreat where we let the element of water be our guiding force. Through yoga practices and moments of guided reflection, we'll dive deep into the transformative power of water and learn to navigate life's currents with grace and ease. Just as water effortlessly moulds itself to the shape of its container, you'll learn to adapt and flow with the ever-changing circumstances of life.
The yoga practices invite you to connect to the different qualities of water, while exploring the female physiology, anatomy and energetics bringing special attention to the sacral chakra and the womb space, to which the water element corresponds. The setting, a villa with an infinity pool and located only a 5 minute walk from the beach, will enhance this experience of connection with water.
Overlooking the Vliho bay
Lefkada Retreat centre consists of beautiful modern villas offering first class facilities, yet immersed in nature and a 5 minute walk away from the beach, where you will have plenty of chances to make your inner mermaid shine.
The group (maximum 15 participants) will be distributed amongst two adjacent villas, each with its own beautiful swimming pool and a stunning view over the bay.
A choice of shared twin bedroom and private double bedroom is available. Some rooms offer an ensuite bathroom.
The venue offers air-conditioning, wifi, washing machine, pool towels, and hair dryers.

Yoga and salty skin
Two yoga practices will frame our days. After a slow silent morning wake up, we will be meeting in the beautiful yoga shala immersed in nature and move through a dynamic vinyasa practice while enjoying the wonderful views over the bay.
After a delicious plant-based brunch and free time spent enjoying the pool, exploring the town, relaxing at the beach, swimming in the sea or going for a walk in nature, we will meet again for a nourishing evening practice which will be restorative, yin or Nidra. Our days will end with a nourishing vegan dinner and time for connection.
Veronica will offer a Womb’s Wisdom special practice midweek and integrate elements such as sound and essential oils in her offerings.
We give a lot of importance to the food we serve, since we believe that are what we eat.
The food served will be varied, unprocessed and nourishing to promote energy and wellbeing. It will be predominantly plant based with some vegetarian options and local, seasonal and organic whenever possible.
Two delicious plant based meals, brunch and dinner, will be served daily.
Refreshments will also be available throughout the day and include tea, coffee, water and fruit.

Her teaching style has been infused by amazing teachers (such as Janet Stone, Tiffany Cruishank, Shiva Rea, Leslie Howard and Petra Coveney) to whom she is very grateful.
