YOGA
Ananda will lead two 90-minute classes daily, with morning classes being invigorating, while evening classes are calming and relaxing.
Classes will be taught in English.
MASSAGE
There is no holiday without a massage. So during the week, you will have the choice between a relaxing, deep tissue or Thai massage by Lila Xenaki, or an energy healing with Fay Depasta.
THE FOOD
All meals are delicious homemade Greek vegetarian food.
Most fruits and vegetables will come directly from the garden.
Every morning, a breakfast basket will be placed in your villa containing yogurt, fruits, granola, bread.
After morning yoga, a brunch with sweet and salty dishes is served on the terrace.
Dinner is traditional Greek vegetarian food including desert and local wine.
Discover Greek cuisine with such dishes such as stuffed eggplant, fried zucchini, grilled feta or chickpea salad.
THE ISLAND
Koufonisia is a beautiful tiny island in the Cyclades of only 26 km2 and 500 permanent residents. You don't need a car, you can walk everywhere. It is not overcrowded and too touristy. The island postcard-perfect, with white houses and blue doors, impressive cliffs and crystal clear turquoise water. There is only one village and the rest are nature, cliffs and beaches.
Chora, the (only) village of the island with shops and tavernas is a 45-minutes walk from the Villas. Otherwise a bus and even boat service takes you there in less than 15 minutes.
There is no airport in Koufonisia; the island can only be reached by ferry: from Athens (4h30 hours), Paros (3h), Santorini (1h45) or Mykonos (1h30).
Please be sure to allow enough time between your boat and flight. We recommend not booking the flight and boat on the same day as the Greek ferries can be delayed. Let us know if you need help or advice before booking.

Teachers
Ananda Tinio
Ananda has been teaching yoga since 2008. She believes that anatomy and biomechanics can meet and merge with fluidity somewhere along the middle. She teaches intelligent Vinyasa, individualised Yoga Therapy, self-facilitated myofascial release, and experimental Mobility classes that honor diverse forms of movement.
Her teaching is informed by experience with various forms of meditation, modalities of self-inquiry, and studies with teachers Vidya Heisel of Frog Lotus Yoga, Jasmine Tarkeshi and Dana Flynn of Laughing Lotus, Jill Miller of Yoga Tune Up, and Olivier Goetgeluck of Fighting Monkey.
Ananda believes in authenticity, autonomy, and creative expression in teaching. Her classes combine athleticism with intelligence, lyricism with methodology, the sensual with the cerebral. She has taught students of all levels in diverse locales—from San Francisco to the Philippines, Madrid to New Orleans, Costa Rica to Berlin, Mexico to Hong Kong. She is currently based in Brussels, Belgium.
Wellness Team
The professional Koufonisia Wellness team will be responsible for your wellbeing during the retreat.
