Exlusive 7 Day Retreat For You
March 27th - April 2nd, 2026
You've spent years taking care of everyone - your family & relationships, your work, your students and somehow along the way you slipped to the bottom of the list. Your practice is still there but maybe it feels less frequent, uninspired or not nourishing the way used to be. You might not have a practice at all. You know that you are capable of feeling stronger, more connected and inspired again, but life keeps getting in the way.
And, that is why this retreat exists!
This is your week to step out of the noise and drop into a space where your body can soften, your breath deepen and your mind switch off from the constant 'doing'. It's where you enter the space of yoga again, not rushed, not squeezing it in between other responsibilities - but praticed in a way that feels nourishing, intelligent and deeply replenishing.
You'll be held by beautiful surroundings, nourishing food, expert teachings, laughter, rest, community and time to simply be. This isn't about fixing yourself - as the teachings tell us, we are already whole, complete and perfect. What this is, is an opportunity for you to remember this truth in your self. Reclaim your strength, radiance and inner steadiness that sometimes gets buried under the weight of everyday life.
The Place. The Vibe
Imagine waking to the sound of waves softly lapping against the shore and a breeze scented with wild herbs drifting through your window. The sun stretches across the hillside as you unfurl your mat, the first light of day shimmering across the sea.
Welcome to Simply Greece - a spring yoga retreat designed to help you return to what feels real, vibrant and beautifully uncomplicated!
Set on the tranquil island of Evia, at the stunning via Silence Hotel, this 6 Nights/7 Days is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself and other likeminded people and savour the art of living well. Between twice-daily yoga practices with me, long Mediterranian days of leisure, swims in azure waters, walking the hills or slow afteroons by the pool with a good book, you'll rediscover your natural rhythm - unhurried, grounded and alive!
Evia Silence Hotel is only 1.5 hours drive north from Athens Airport but a million miles away from it all. It is on the Pelion Peninsula an area that captivates visitors with it's natural beauty, rich history and cultural charm. Overlooking the bay, I chose this very special boutique style hotel to be our home from home. Carved into the hillside, overlooking the sea and just 10 metres from the water - it offers a rare sense of peace and connection to mother nature. Panos and the team are wonderfully warm and friendly and look forward to welcoming us.
This retreat is an invitation to open up, let go, switch off. It is a time for you to explore and restore and feel the benefits of yoga, relaxation and immersion in nature

Yoga is simple. This retreat is about living simply, practicing daily sadhana and having time to slow down to reap the benefits.
This retreat is about balance - the perfect blend of movement, rest, fresh air, inspiration and good company.
Each morning begins with an Anusara Yoga class that combines meditation, breathwork and energising asana practice. The result is that you will feel stronger, more centered and free. After practice we will enjoy a delicious brunch together. Gathering around the table is such an ancient human ritual and when we have delicous healthy food served to us, it becomes such an incredible gift.
Afternoons you can rest, explore or simply sit by the sea and read your book and bask in the sounds and sights of this beautiful place. There's time for hiking through the fragrant hillside, swimming in crystal clear waters, or chatting and connecting with a likeminded retreatants.
As late afternoon falls, we'll gather for a chilled yoga practice where deep relaxation is the aim. Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra among other practices aimed at soothing the nervous system.
In the evenings we will gather once again for dinner and taste some of the freshest most delicious food Greece has to offer.
So, as you can see the daily rhythm is easy, spacious and gives a great balance of structure and freedom.
Are you ready for the simple life - salt, sunshine, yoga and stillness?

Who Is This Retreat For?
This retreat is carefully designed for:
- Women 40 - 80 who love yoga and want to look after themselves and stay strong and healthy. This will be a blend of movement & stillness, physical challenge, pranayama/breathwork, spiritual growth, and joyful connection in a stunning natural setting
- Anyone who wants to grow stronger, steadier and more open hearted Seasoned Yogis and who want to deepen and grow their practice.
- Anyone who wants some inspiration and a chance to pick my brains for clarity and guidance around all aspects of practice/sadhana
- Anyone wanting depth, connection and rest. If you want high quality teaching, not bumber sticker spirituality and certainly not mass yoga tourism then you are in the right place
- Anyone who would like to come away by themselves or with a friend to explore and restore. This is a friendly warm space where you will experience a healthy balanced holiday with a good measure of fun thrown in.
- Any yoga teacher looking for inspiration and clarity
Whether you're looking to deepen your understanding of asana (for your own practice or teaching), explore the rich tapestry of yoga philosophy, or simply create space for self-reflection and growth, this retreat offers a unique opportunity. In our supportive, fun atmosphere, you'll not only advance your practice but also forge lasting connections with like-minded individuals.
This is more than a yoga retreat; it's a transformative journey that will leave you feeling renewed, inspired, and deeply connected to your practice and yourself.
Anusara Yoga - a practice of balanced action
On this retreat as on all my retreats, the yoga practice is designed to support you and everyone regardless of where they are on their yoga path. Through carefully guided asana to improve balance, strength, and flexibility, you will learn to build a body that feels strong, mobile, capable and honoured.
Alongside movement, you’ll experience the deeply transformative tools of yoga—restorative postures, meditation, pranayama/breathwork, and mantra—to quiet the mind, soothe the nervous system, reduce stress, and reconnect you with your inner vitality. These sessions are created and crafted for all levels and in response to the need of each student and the group as a whole. The mix of practices offers a perfect blend of learning, challenge, and deep rest to help you feel grounded and alive.
The theme for our Simply Greece Retreat - The 5 Elements
This retreat takes inspiration from the Pancha Mahabhutas - the great elements of space/ether, air, fire, water and earth. In the yoga tradition these elements form not only matter but are the building blocks of everything we experience - including our bodies and minds. Over the week we will explore these elements through movement, breath, meditation and reflection - reconnecting to our natural sense of balance and presence. This is an invitation to feel more grounded, spacious and alive both on and off the mat. Yoga works, you simply have to do it!
What We Will Cover?
During this immersive retreat, we'll delve deep into the essence of Yoga practices, exploring both the physical practice and philosophical foundations alongside practices to help you relax and deeply rest. Specifically we will explore the 5 Elements as they relate to your practice and your life.
Our approach combines theoretical understanding (the why) with practical application (the what), ensuring you leave with tools that you can immediately integrate into your practice, your life and your general self care routine.
By the end of this retreat, you'll have experienced a wonderful time in a beautiful place, with likeminded company and hopefully you will be inspired to bring what you have learned home with you to continue yoga as an act of self care and love. Simple!
If you're looking to give a new lease of life to your personal practice or want to learn more about all elements of practice then this retreat offers invaluable insights and experiences.

STILL HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS?
It is completely natural to hesitate before saying 'yes' to something like this, especially when it means taking time for yourself. Here are a few of the most common worries I hear (plus my honest answers):
"It sounds amazing but... it feels like a big investment"
I totally understand. That's why I offer a payment plan to make it easier to spread the cost. And if this still doesn't quite fit your budget,get in touch and we can talk
"I want to come but I don't want to travel alone"
You won't be alone! From the moment your arrive (or meet up in the airport), you'll be part of a warm and supportive group. Many people arrive solo and leave with new genuine friends - the kind you stay in touch with long after the retreat.
"I'm not sure my yoga is good enough for a retreat like this"
This retreat is not about striking a pose or being anything other than yourself. It is about being present, being comfortable and confident in your body whatever level you are in your practice. It's about resting, laughing and looking after yourself. In short, you are good enough however you are!
"I'm still not sure if it's the right fit for me"
That's what I am here for. If you want to chat it through, drop me an email and we can arrange time for a quick call - I'll happily answer any questions and help you decide if this is a fit for you.
Any questions, doubts or fears, email me on - hello@noeleentyrrell.com
