About The Retreat

Between the magnificent sunsets, turquoise waters and ancient vertical cliffs, you can see why Sole Yoga Holidays chose to return to this incredible location!

Our retreat takes place in several private villas in one superb complex overlooking the blue, Aegean Sea. Our location is surrounded by vineyards and farms, yet only a tehn minute walk from the nearest beach. This allows us a peaceful and tranquil setting away from the bustle of downtown Santorini.

Activities / classes

All lessons will be led by Sole Yoga Holidays founder, Shari Hochberg. 1-2 daily vinyasa yoga sessions will be practiced outside on one of the beautiful terraces at our villa complex. Get ready to move and flow with the warm breeze and sound of birds to serenade us in the morning and late afternoon.

Shari will revise the practice according to the needs of the guests. Every level is welcome from the very beginner to the more advanced practitioner. We may take our mats one day to the nearby beach for a gentle, sunset practice.

One day we will go on our own private catamaran for a gorgeous day on the turquoise Mediterranean Sea! We will swim, marvel at the sites and enjoy a delicious, fresh lunch of local specialties on the sparkling, blue water.

One evening after yoga, we will go for a very special wine tasting/aperitivo at a stunning winery with views-to-die-for.

This view is one for the books, that is for sure! We will also head to the famous small village of Oia for an afternoon of exploring and shopping. This is the most picturesque town in Santorini with unbelievable views of the caldera and the famous cobalt domes.

Teacher

Shari Hochberg discovered the unlimited and positive effects of a consistent yoga practice over 18 years ago in San Francisco, California. Her journey included numerous disciplines, but it wasn’t until Ashtanga that she found her true yoga passion and was certified in 2010 in Florence, Italy (her other passion!).

She now enjoys teaching a vigorous, playful and challenging vinyasa flow class accompanied by an equally dynamic playlist. She hopes through her teaching she can inspire others with the grace and love that she has found.

Shari has been leading yoga retreats and holidays for over 8 years in amazing locations from Greece to Israel to Morocco and all over her adopted and gorgeous country, Italy.

Cuisine

A delicious and hearty brunch is included daily at our wonderful location. Fresh fruits, juices, eggs made to order and heavenly, local sweets are all part of our daily post-yoga meal. You can choose to eat inside, by the pool at your villa or take your yummy meal outside on the main restaurant patio.

Three dinners (Our welcome, farewell and very special sunset seafood dinner) are included as part of the package. The other evenings we can dine in town (walking or driving) to explore and try local specialties and a spectacular sunset.

Our location has a small and wonderful restaurant with evening specials. Sole Yoga has left our dining option a little more flexible so everyone can experience something new the other nights. Our on-site concierge can assist with any dining plans and reservations.

Plus, the evening views are exquisite from all corners of the island. It is your time to explore the magic of Santorini.
