Yoga retreat, Milos island, GREECE
May 28 – June 1, 2025
6 spaces available
Milos is one of the prettiest Greek islands famous for the pretty beaches, picturesque hidden corners and the famous statue of the Venus from Milos that is today at the display in Louvre museum in Paris.
During this retreat we will do our daily yoga practice by the pool or in the garden, indulge in delicious breakfast and swim at some of the nicest off-beaten beaches accessible only by boat. We will also visit atmospheric Plaka village during the sunset hour and stop on the way there at the moon-like beach Sarakiniko for some unforgettable photos.
Our accommodation will be tucked away in a 4 star Santa Maria Village Resort and Spa which is about 20 minutes walk from a vivid center of a port village Adamas famous for its restaurants, bars and shopping opportunities. During the days you can relax by the pool with sea views, book your massage at a lovely hotel spa, walk down to the beach (10 minutes) or get a transfer to one of the famous beaches of the island.

ABOUT THE TEACHER:
I am Veronika, originally from Slovakia. I have been living in Santorini since 2010. I attended my very first yoga class on vacation in Philippines, this was in 2009. I became a yoga teacher in 2012, I completed a 200 hours mindful yoga therapy course with Kathy Ward. Every year I work on deepening my education. I have a diploma in perinatal and baby yoga with Birthlight, I attended a training in yin yoga and numerous courses in yoga related to physiotherapy. In 2022 I competed my 500 hours certification with Jason Crandell.
I have been teaching retreats since 2013, usually at Caveland in Santorini as it is the place that I manage as a boutique hostel.
I usually teach slowly flowing hatha flow classes with an accent on alignment and eccentric strength.
