Yoga Calisthenics & Movement Retreat
Lefkada, Greece 9th-15th May 2026
The luxury villas in Lefkada, Greece
All four villas feature private infinity pools with breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea, spacious living rooms, and private spaces. Each villa has 2-3 bedrooms, each with a sea view and a private en-suite bathroom equipped with a jacuzzi bathtub or walk-in shower.
Seaview shala and training area
Practice in a cozy shala with open ceilings, wooden floors, and natural materials, overlooking a hillside where the blue sea meets the lush green mountains. Embrace the serene beauty, surrounded and embraced by Mother Nature.
Private beach
The area is part of the Nature 2000 environmental protection network, serving as a habitat for dolphins and seals. This completely private location is rarely crowded and can only be accessed through our retreat villas or by boat. The beach, covered with small white pebbles and patches of sand, boasts crystal blue and turquoise waters that will leave you in awe. The hike to the beach takes 15-20 minutes for experienced hikers, or 25-35 minutes if you prefer to take it slow and savor the natural beauty.
Yoga, calisthenics and functional movements
It’s time to reconnect with your body in every dimension. Through yoga, calisthenics, and movement, we combine mobility, strength, flexibility, and body-awareness into one well-balanced practice. Expect playful workshops that challenge your balance, coordination, and control — from hanging and jumping to flowing through asanas and bodyweight drills. These sessions not only build resilience but also make everyday movements feel easier, stronger, and more alive.

Meet your hosts Issy - Max
Issy Nadee
Issy embarked on her yoga journey after years of battling back pain due to scoliosis, which led to numerous physical and mental challenges. Her mission is to inspire others to embrace a healthy lifestyle through yoga, mobility, and movement to improve joint mobility.
In her classes, Issy blends modern movements with mindfulness practices. She offers a range of modifications to accommodate diverse needs and abilities. For Issy, yoga transcends mere poses; it’s a pathway to deeper self-discovery and connection. She believes, “Yoga is not about the poses, so don’t let the poses define you. We use them as tools to connect and delve deeper within ourselves.”
Maxime Ronse
Max brings years of experience as a personal trainer specializing in calisthenics and strength training. With a deep understanding of anatomy, he excels at breaking down movements and integrate muscle groups to optimize strength, mobility, and body awareness. His expertise in calisthenics perfectly complements the yoga practice, as both disciplines share roots in bodyweight training and functional movement. His knowledge and passion for movement make him an invaluable asset to this training, providing unique insights into how strength training and mobility can enhance and deepen yoga practice.
