Accommodation
The retreat will be held at Rodis Apartment studios in Bouka Village near Tragaki on the beautiful island of Zante. Feast your senses as you take in the beauty of the olive, lemon and peach trees in the Rodis Gardens. Coupled with the welcoming and open-hearted hospitality of Kate and Gerard, you cannot help but begin to relax as soon as you arrive. Accommodation is offered in the clean, comfortable apartments with private balconies overlooking the gardens, en suite bathrooms and kitchenette facilities. There are 6 twins and 1 double available. Just a short stroll away you can flop on the sun loungers at Abracadabra beach bar or dip in crystal clear, deep blue ionian sea. The beautiful Zakynthos town is 4.3 miles away and the town of Tsilivi which is walking distance along the shoreline, offers juice bars, tavernas, souvenir shops, beauty parlour with massages, medical centre, bank and supermarket.
Yoga
A journey through the senses
to rejuvenate and restore you.
You will be offered a daily morning and evening yoga practice in the purpose built, shady, outdoor yoga shala. Morning practice will set you up for the day with sun salutations, intelligent sequencing, strength building and inspirational themes – energising, dynamic and explorative. Feel energised, enlivened and ready for your brunch! After brunch you can wander to the beach for an afternoon swim, take a nap in the shade, read a book or explore the island. There is chance to hire kayaks and SUP boards or if you prefer the more creative approach, take a pottery class or make your own pebble art. The evening yoga session will be a slower pace, moving the body gently with a calming and nourishing practice including pranayama, meditation and relaxation so you are truly relaxed before a delicious Greek dinner. There will be chance for discussion around the underpinning philosophy of yoga and how it spills off the mat into our daily lives.
Food & Sustenance
Dine on delicious local produce prepared with love. A welcome tea of almond cake and local cheeses awaits you upon arrival. Brunch consists of granola, yoghurt, fresh fruit and eggs or pancakes topped with homemade, deliciously sweet stewed peaches from the Rodis garden. The menu is vegetarian, expect wholesome salads and plenty of Greek cheese and olives. Courgette fritters and aubergines stuffed with ricotta have become signature dishes at Rodis. Fresh fruit and a sweet or savory snack are available during the day along with unlimited bottled water, herbal tea and coffees which are provided in your studio. Wine is included in the price for 2 of the evenings. Locally produced wine is available to purchase throughout the week but if wine is not your thing, fresh lemonade made with the lemons from the garden will tantalize the taste buds.
