September 27–October 3, 2027The Greek Island Reset:
Yoga • Island Life • Rejuvenation
Where we are going and why…..
Escape to the Greek island of Kythira for a week of yoga, connection, adventure, and the simple pleasure of slowing down.
Tucked away from the crowds of Greece’s more well-known islands, Kythira is a little-known gem where life moves at a different pace. Surrounded by turquoise water, beautiful landscapes, hidden beaches, traditional villages, and winding walking trails. This island offers the perfect setting to step away from everyday life and reconnect with yourself.
We’ll call Porto Delfino home for the week. A family-owned hotel that has welcomed guests to Kythira for more than 35 years. Run by a mother-and-daughter team, Porto Delfino embodies the warmth of genuine Greek hospitality, or filoxenia: the tradition of welcoming others with generosity, kindness, and heart.
According to Greek mythology, Kythira is one of the birthplaces of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. It feels fitting that we’ll gather here to slow down, create space, deepen our practice, and reconnect with ourselves, with one another, and with the beauty around us.
This isn’t just a yoga retreat. It’s a week to live a little differently.
To wake up and practice yoga.
To linger over long Greek meals.
To swim in clear blue water.
To explore somewhere new.
To laugh with new friends.
To watch the sunset.
To move slowly.
To breathe deeply.
To remember what it feels like to have nowhere else to be.
Come to Kythira to slow down and come back to yourself. Our days will include twice-daily yoga, delicious home-cooked Greek meals, time by the sea, a cooking experience, a boat day to explore private beaches, and opportunities to explore the island’s villages and natural beauty. And, of course, plenty of free time to swim, wander, read, eat, or rest.
Where You’ll Stay
Every room at Porto Delfino offers beautiful, uninterrupted views of Kapsali Bay and Hytra, the iconic sea stack just off the coast of Kythira. With its protected sea cave and surrounding marine life, Hytra is a beautiful reminder of the wild, natural setting that surrounds you.
The accommodations reflect the simple beauty of traditional Greek island living. They are bright, airy, comfortable, and unfussy. Rooms feature natural light, classic furnishings, and private balconies where you can sit back and take in the sea views.
Every room includes:
Private balcony with sea views
Air conditioning
Complimentary Wi-Fi
Mini refrigerator
Wardrobe/storage
Daily housekeeping
Private bathroom
A note about the bathrooms: The rooms feature traditional European-style showers with a handheld shower head rather than a fixed or rain-style shower.
