YOGA HOLIDAY IN PAROS, GREECE
7th - 14th October 2025
You are warmly invited to take part in this special yoga retreat in the foothills of the Alpujarras, part of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Southern Spain. This promises to be a relaxing, nurturing and restorative holiday on the stunning land.
Each gentle yoga session on this retreat will be accessible for all, combining asana (postures), flowing exercises, and meditation, with the breath. The sessions will include postures and exercises that can be modified for each individual, depending on ability and familiarity with yoga. The yoga sessions will usually be a mix of gentle dynamic exercises, longer-held postures, and deep relaxation. Joy’s teaching style is informed by therapeutic yoga and spiritual practices.
Numbers are very limited, so early booking is essential to join this week of sunshine, relaxation and yoga!

The Venue
Paros Philoxenia is a beautiful quiet family run hotel right on New Golden Beach in the South East of the island. It is situated between the three fishing villages of Drios, Logaras and Piso Livadi, and facing the islands of Naxos, Iraklia and Ios.
There are single, twin and double rooms available, all en-suite and with a balcony/terrace, air conditioning and a refrigerator. The hotel has a swimming pool, restaurant and bar.
Travel to Paros is via ferry or internal flight from mainland Greece.





Food
The meals are typically Greek and everything is made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, inducing their olive oil. The hotel offers standard, vegetarian or vegan options and are happy to cater for diary-free and gluten-free diets with notice. Drinks are available from the well stocked bar.​





Activites
The beach is across the road from the hotel with stunning views across the straits to Naxos. Swimming is possible up and down the coastline and you can hire windsurfing gear if you want to try your hand at that. There are also lovely walks for miles in each direction.
We will be exploring the local area, while leaving ample time for relaxation and rest, eating, swimming in the pool and general free time. There will be optional excursions to picturesque villages and harbour towns and an opportunity to experience some authentic Greek music and dancing.
