Mind, Body, Soul Retreat
28th June - 5th July Paros, Greece 2025
with Vayia Nafees
'I feel forever changed for the better, and would certainly recommend Vayia’s retreats to others'
Everyone needs a week off from life.
​
A fantastic 5 day Mind, Body Soul Retreat in the beautiful sea bay town of New Fokea, Halkidiki, Greece.
​
Wake up every morning before breakfast and immerse yourself in a flow yoga or OSHO active meditation followed by a delicious healthy Greek breakfast/brunch looking over the sea.
Continue the morning until lunch time with some blissful Reiki attunements, different types of Transformational and Healing Meditations and Yoga workshops.
​
In the afternoon (1pm-6pm) relax and spend the rest of the afternoon soaking up the sun and swimming in the turquoise waters at the beach or at the swimming pool.
​
After an afternoon relaxing at the beach, there will be an evening practice most evenings and then you can spend the rest of the evening lying under the stars or checking out the super cute Greek village and nature nearby.
​
Greece is my second home and Nea Fokea/Afitos is one of my favourite places in Greece. My Father is Greek and I have been visiting Greece every year since I was a child.
Starting from my early 20's every year I would visit Greece and it was a retreat for me. To be able to release the mind from the every day to-do lists and thoughts to free up the space in my mind therefore bringing space for the inspirational ideas and intuition to flow.
It gives me great pleasure and passion to share this retreat, spiritual knowledge and beautiful country, culture, climate, nature and food with lovely like-minded souls.

The Fine Details
I went on my first yoga retreat run by Vayia in June 2019. I didn't know what to expect apart from obviously yoga and meditation and can honestly say it was a life-changing experience.
The yoga Shala was stunning and overlooked the beautiful turquoise sea which was the view that greeted you every morning, bliss! We started each day with a yoga session, followed by breakfast around a large table so we could chat and get to know each other. We then had an hour or so free before the next session which was either another form of yoga, meditation and one day Reiki attunements. We then had lunch, followed by a free afternoon to spend our time on the amazing beach. We had a final session around 6pm and then the evening was free to go and explore the lovely local village and have dinner.
It was only 5 days, but I came away feeling the most relaxed I have done in years and will definitely book again. Cannot wait for my next retreat run by this lovely lady!

Because Vayia is so natural in the way she practices yoga & meditation, she creates an atmosphere that doesn’t feel like you are being instructed and taught, it makes you feel as though she is sharing herself with you and sharing a new way of life
