Yoga on the shoreline in Evia, Greece

September 2–8, 2027 · Evia Island, Greece

SCULPTED & SOULFUL

A Luxury Yoga & Pilates Retreat in Greece

If you've been feeling burnt out or a bit disconnected from yourself — this retreat is your reset button.

The Invitation

A week to come home to yourself.

Imagine waking up ten meters from the Aegean Sea. Stepping onto your mat as the bay comes alive with morning light. Spending six days moving, breathing, and resetting — surrounded by people on the same journey, in a place most of the world hasn't found yet.

This is Sculpted & Soulful. A week of intentional movement, nourishing food, and slow soulful travel on a quiet Greek island. You'll leave stronger, lighter, and more yourself than when you arrived.

September is Greece's best-kept secret. The summer crowds have gone home, the Aegean is still warm, the light turns golden, and the island settles into its true unhurried rhythm.

Kelli doesn't teach yoga. She builds movers. Known for her playful energy, precise sequencing, and ability to make hard things feel inevitable, she creates classes that challenge you completely and leave you wanting more.

The Itinerary

Your Journey

September 2

Welcome Night

Land in Athens and let the city hold you for one evening before the retreat begins. That night we gather for a hands-on Greek cooking class with a local chef — learning the flavors of this country from the inside. We move to the rooftop for dinner as the Acropolis lights up before us. This is our welcome night — a celebration of unity, of showing up, of what's about to begin.

September 3

We Head to the Island

An early morning departure brings us through the Greek countryside to Porto Buffalo on the island of Evia — about two and a half hours from Athens. When we arrive at Evia Silence Lighthouse, the bay is right there waiting. Settle into your room, step onto your balcony, take it in. We practice twice that day.

September 4–7

Days at the Lighthouse

Two classes daily — a morning practice to build and energize, an evening practice to restore and release. Between them, the days are yours. Breakfast is laid out each morning. Dinner waits each evening. The beach is steps away. The Yoga Shala is an 8-minute walk. The rest is yours. A note on September 7 — our final night together. We gather for a celebration dinner of fresh Aegean fish sourced that morning from the local market, served alongside freshly prepared meat and vegetarian alternatives. We eat together, we close the week together, and we leave changed.

September 8

Departure

Transfer back to Athens airport. Safe travels.

Where You'll Be

The Yoga Shala interior at Evia Silence

The Shala

The Yoga Shala

An 80 m² independent hall built for movement — hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows opening to sea and mountain views, natural light flooding in from every angle. It holds up to 25 practitioners, fully equipped with studio mats, blocks, blankets, and belts. This is where your mornings begin.

Food & Nourishment

Eat Well. Feel It.

Our chef combines traditional Greek cuisine with international flavors — entirely vegetarian and vegan, made from scratch using the freshest local produce. The daily buffet is abundant; breakfasts generous, dinners thoughtful. An à la carte menu is also available for those who want to go deeper into the experience. The final night ends with whole sea bream or sea bass sourced from the market that morning.

"Travel that changes something."

Autumn Thurston has dedicated her life to travel — and it started at 10 years old when travel showed her for the first time what the world actually felt like from the inside. Not a resort. Not a cruise. A real, authentic experience that changed the way she saw everything.

She's been chasing that feeling ever since. Three years ago she turned that pursuit into her own travel agency, building trips for people who want that same kind of real.

When she put this retreat together, she approached it the same way she approaches everything — with care, intention, and a deep belief that the right experience can change something in you.
