Packing for the Anthology Yoga & Pilates retreat is like preparing for a soulful adventure. Make sure to bring your comfiest clothes for our practices, a yoga mat if you have one (though mat and props are provided), sunscreen, hat, beach towel, bikinis/swimsuit, your summer clothes, and a journal to jot down your reflections. Don’t forget any personal items like toiletries, any required travel documents and your enthusiasm for the journey inward!

Not at all! All practitioners are welcome at the Anthology Yoga & Pilates retreat, from beginners to advanced. It’s more about your willingness to engage with the practice and immerse yourself in the experience. Anthoula and Anthi are experts at making everyone feel welcome and supported! They will offer variations and modifications to accommodate different levels of experience and ability.

A typical day starts with a morning pilates/yoga session, followed by a rich and healthy greek style brunch. The rest of the day is free time for relaxation or exploration, optional excursions, and evening yoga/ pilates or meditation sessions. Expect to embrace the original slow-living, as a typical summer time in Greece, where you let go of the flow. All meals are especially catered for us based on the Greek cuisine with mostly locally sourced ingredients.

Yes, this retreat is a wonderful experience for solo travelers! Anthology Yoga & Pilates retreat is a fantastic opportunity to embark on a journey of self-discovery and meet like-minded people.

Absolutely! The main focus of the retreat is to relax, re-charge and let go of any tension through various ways; yoga, pilates, meditation, breathwork, mindful movement, but also through just doing nothing.
