Last week I returned from an unforgettable trip to the YogaFit Retreats on the southern coast of Greece, and I am excited to share my experience! This retreat was more than just a vacation; it was a transformative journey for my mind and body. I was looking for a unique blend of relaxation, fitness, and community, and Yogafit ticked all the boxes for me.
From the moment I arrived at the hotel, I was greeted by breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the warm atmosphere of the retreat. The location itself was perfect. The hotel was built with Greek style white washed low level appartments, surrounded by lush greenery in the beautiful gardens and the soothing sounds of waves crashing against the shore. It was the ideal setting to unwind and focus on my well-being.
Discovering the Benefits of a Retreat
One of the most significant benefits of attending a retreat like this is the chance to explore new exercise classes. The schedule included various activities, such as yoga, Pilates, aqua fit, and dance fitness. These classes were designed for all fitness levels. For example, the aqua fit sessions were ideal for those looking for a low-impact workout. I particularly enjoyed the yoga sessions, where I experienced improved flexibility and balance. Also i've discovered a new enthusiam for pilates through their excellent instructor Jay.
Meeting new people and getting to know my travelling companions better was a highlight of the week for me. I brought some of my Zumba Gold ladies along from Burgess Hill and Shoreham classes, and it was wonderful to share this experience with them.
Relaxation and Restoration
The retreat offered more than just physical activities. Each day began with gentle, and some not so gentle, yoga sessions that set the tone for the day, which finish with a short period of meditation. These moments of stillness can be incredibly rejuvenating.
Research shows that just 10 minutes of meditation can reduce stress by up to 30%.
The combination of yoga and meditation allowed me to reconnect with myself on a deeper level.
Additionally, there were workshops focused on holistic health and wellness. These sessions provided valuable insights into maintaining a balanced lifestyle, including topics like nutrition, hormones and stress management. Aimed to help those looking for alternative ways to tune in to life from different aspects.
Combining a Holiday with Fitness
What I loved most about YogaFit Retreats was the seamless combination of a holiday with a fitness regime. Each day was filled with activities that kept us on the move, but there was also plenty of time to relax by the pool and explore the beautiful surroundings. A short trip to the lovely island opposite the resort, Hydra was just a short boat ride away. This afternoon jaunt was a great way to break up the week a little bit and explore Greek culture.
The food was another highlight of the retreat. We enjoyed delicious meals prepared with fresh, local ingredients. Traditional Greek dishes, fresh salads, lovely cheeses and olive oil, which not only satisfied my taste buds but also provided the nutrients needed for the day's activities. It was a treat to indulge in nourishing dishes that fueled our bodies for our workouts.
Activities Galore
The variety of activities offered at the retreat was impressive. I attended Pilates classes that challenged my core strength and aqua fit sessions that added a fun twist to my workout routine. The dance fitness classes were a blast, with my heart rate increasing to the rhythm of joyful music.
One of my favourite moments was during a sunrise yoga session overlooking the beautiful bay.
The sky was filled with beautiful hues of orange and pink, and as we flowed through our poses, a deep sense of gratitude washed over me. It reminded me of the beauty of nature and the importance of taking time for ourselves.
A Trip to Remember
Bringing my Zumba Gold ladies along made the trip even more special. We cheered each other on during classes, shared laughter, and created memories that we will cherish forever. It was heartwarming to see everyone step out of their comfort zones and embrace new challenges together.
As the retreat came to an end, I felt a mix of emotions. I was sad to leave this beautiful place and the wonderful people I had met, but I was also excited to take what I had learned back home. The experience reignited my passion for fitness and self-care, and I am determined to continue this journey.
