Awaken Your Soul: Nuturing Body, Mind, and Spirit

September 1-6, 2026 | Paros Island

Step away from the hustle and step into a week of soulful adventure. The Awaken Your Soul Retreat is a 6-day, 5-night journey designed to spark joy, awaken curiosity, and reconnect you with the playful, radiant essence within.

Join Stacy for this yoga retreat in Paros which blends daily yoga, meditation, and mindful practices with plenty of freedom to explore, relax, and soak up island life. Each morning begins with an energizing yoga practice, followed by long, leisurely breakfasts and time to explore the island’s hidden gems and local beaches. Throughout this retreat we’ll have time to wander those picturesque whitewashed villages, dive into the magic of Aegean Sea, and set sail on a private boat adventure. Evenings bring slower movement, sunset meditations, and shared meals filled with fresh local flavors and new friends.

Each day unfolds like a new adventure and every moment is designed to fill you up with joy and lightness. This yoga retreat for women is all about rediscovering what feels good— in your body, in your heart, and in your life. You’ll move, laugh, rest, and reconnect with the most vibrant version of yourself.

In our yoga sessions, you’ll flow through rejuvenating postures, allowing tension to melt away and energy to flow freely. Guided meditation sessions will lead you into a state of deep relaxation and inner peace, while breathwork exercises will help you cultivate mindfulness and presence in the here and now. Through the art of journaling, you’ll tap into your inner explorer: curious, courageous, and open to the magic of the moment.

By week’s end, you’ll feel lighter, brighter, and more alive— carrying home not just peace and clarity, but a renewed zest for life and the simple joy of being.

Come play, explore, and awaken your soul…your adventure begins in Greece.

MEET YOUR TEACHER

Stacy McGinty

Stacy McGinty has been practicing and teaching yoga for over 20 years. Practicing life on and off the mat is all about embodying the principles and mindfulness cultivated during yoga practice into everyday experiences.

On the mat, Stacy encourages her students to listen to their inner voice, connecting with the breath, and moving in a way that feels good to the body. This practice of tuning into oneself, honoring one’s body, and finding balance can be extended beyond the mat. Off the mat, it’s about staying present, listening to our intuition, and treating ourselves and others with kindness and compassion.

In vinyasa flow, restorative yoga, and meditation, Stacy’s emphasis on finding moments of clarity and stillness within the pose teaches students to cultivate inner peace and resilience. This can be translated into daily life by finding moments of stillness amidst the chaos, whether it’s through meditation, mindful breathing, or simply taking a pause to appreciate the present moment.

Stacy’s influences, including Jason Crandell, Janet Stone, Tara Brach, and Jack Kornfield, likely inspire her teachings on integrating mindfulness and compassion into yoga practice and life. By drawing from the wisdom of these teachers, Stacy helps her students deepen their understanding of themselves and their connection to the world around them.

Ultimately, Stacy’s intention to hold space for her students to connect with at least one full breath reflects the essence of yoga: the union of mind, body, and spirit. Whether on the mat or off, practicing yoga with Stacy offers an opportunity to cultivate presence, authenticity, and inner peace in every breath and every moment.

Stacy McGinty’s extensive training highlights her dedication to holistic well-being and personal growth. With 500 hours of yoga certification, she has delved deeply into the practice, mastering various aspects of yoga philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodologies. This level of certification suggests a commitment to honing her skills and knowledge to offer students a comprehensive and enriching yoga experience.

Additionally, her mindfulness instructor training indicates a focus on cultivating present-moment awareness and cultivating mindfulness both on and off the mat. Mindfulness practices can greatly complement yoga, enhancing the mind-body connection and promoting overall mental and emotional well-being.

Furthermore, Stacy’s certification as a Wellcoach underscores her commitment to supporting individuals in achieving their wellness goals. Wellcoaches are trained to facilitate behavior change and empower clients to make sustainable lifestyle choices that promote health and vitality. Integrating coaching principles into her teaching likely allows Stacy to offer personalized guidance and support to her students as they navigate their yoga practice and wellness journey.

By combining her expertise in yoga, mindfulness, and coaching, Stacy creates a nurturing and empowering environment for her students to explore their practice and cultivate holistic well-being. She currently teaches at Well Studio in Dublin, CA Her diverse skill set equips her to address the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of health, helping individuals to thrive both on and off the mat.

This retreat was just what I needed! I hope to do this again!

The Art of Living Well!!! was amazing! Kat made everything easy and smooth. In addition to the retreat I requested transportation on arrival, an additional night prior to the retreat and at the end of the retreat which was arranged. I enjoyed the activities from sight seeing, to an olive oil tasting, wine tasting, cooking class, and art, with enough down time to relax or shop on your own. We (some of us) started each day with a light stretching/yoga session. The accommodations were luxurious with out being over the top, the food was delicious and a little too plentiful! This retreat was just what I needed! I hope to do this again!

I met Kat randomly through Instagram & she is 100% real and kind! She made the booking process easy, and responded quickly to all my questions prior to the trip. The Greece retreat was my first solo trip, and it exceeded my expectations! Morning meditation & workouts on the beach, and yoga with an ocean view was breathtaking.. literally while running on the beach! Kat & Fran were great at instructing each class with modifications or ways to challenge yourself. There was nothing but positive vibes the whole week with an amazing group of girls! It truly was a no judgement zone as I did whatever I wanted, when I wanted! Being a working mom and wife back home I was the most relaxed I’ve ever been during this retreat in Milos, Greece. I am forever grateful for this experience, and can’t wait for another #KatHealthFitness Wellness Retreat!

I found the whole retreat experience meaningful. It is difficult to say which particular experience had the most impact, as they all intertwined. Over the course of the week, the activities brought to light areas that I need to focus on in my life. I am full of gratitude that I had the opportunity to attend the retreat in Páros with wonderful women who are now new friends of mine! I needed the time to focus on myself, which will only strengthen my relationships with my family, friends and others.

Katrina’s Milos Retreat was an epic reboot to my fitness and state of mind.

The challenging daily workouts were well balanced with calming/relaxing yoga sessions that helped close the days. The hotel location was a perfect perch above rocks and an ocean of inspiration. Having been to Greece before, I was surprised by the natural beauty of the island. Its unique beaches served not only as fun places to spend the day, but also as places to be mesmerized by the beauty of nature. I enjoyed each day whether I was swimming in crystal blue water, exploring the local town shops and history, or partaking in an art class. And, of course, the amazing Greek food did not disappoint! Following a difficult year, I left the retreat feeling recharged and I’m excited to end the year focusing on being healthy. Thanks for the awesome experience!

I am forever grateful that I decided to go on the Fit Body & Mind Retreat in 2021. Greece and the retreat exceeded my expections. Kat was helpful in planning travel logistics both related to the retreat but also travel I planned prior to the week in Milos. The workouts and yoga practices were creative and differed each day. Each day there was a journal prompt that tied back to the theme of the retreat. Being at the Milos Breeze was the perfect environment for the retreat. The staff was very accommodating and the meal each morning was delicious. We had a handful of selections to eat and all the food was brought to us pool side. LUXRY. Kat planned two tasty group meals from a local restaurant where we got a farm to table experience. These group dinners elevated the experience since we got to try different Greek cuisine that we might not have had if it wasn't for Kat. Each meal allowed us to get closer to our fellow retreaters. My favorite day was our Kleftiko boat day adventure where we got to sail to an uninhibited part of the island that was truly breathtaking. For all that we got the experience on the retreat this experience is an excellent value and one that I will never forgot

Katrina did a fantastic job organizing a retreat that equally focused on mind and body renewal through daily workouts, in depth journal prompts, meditation and yoga.
It felt great to start each day in beautiful Milos with meditation and physical activity and end each day with sunset yoga – practices that I once thought were very difficult to incorporate into my daily routine and now am excited to bring home with me! This retreat taught me more than I thought possible in just a short week, I cant wait for the next one!

I’ve been on the Eyia Retreats in Milos, Greece twice now because I love it so much! This last year I brought my mom and it was such an amazing experience. Not only do you spend time reflecting on yourself, your goals and your health, you meet so many amazing people that you remember forever. I left feeling refreshed and motivated to come back home and take control of my life again. Kat is an amazing retreat leader and so detail oriented. Although it’s a health retreat, it’s not restrictive and it’s so so fun! Would recommended to anyone and everyone!

I have only positive things to say about Eyia Retreats Company and I am forever thankful that all the stars aligned for me to go on the 2021 Fit Body & Mind Retreat. Not only did I meet amazing people, see breathtaking sights (like Kleftiko and Sarakiniko), drink delicious coffee, and try some of the best meals, but got to disconnect from the day-to-day and really focus on myself. This trip was filled with blissful moments, mindful journal prompts, deep meditation sessions, and healthy movement. Thank you for leading us through daily workout classes, meditation, and yoga. You both put a lot of thought into each class and provided alternatives to fit everyone’s level of comfortability. The host, Kat, was extremely helpful before and during the retreat. She was always available to answer any travel questions, provided amazing guidance, and recommended places to stay if we were arriving early or staying longer. During the retreat, she constantly checked in on everyone, led with kindness, and put so much thought and detail into every activity/event.

I am truly blessed to have been able to attend Katrina’s 2019 Wellness Retreat on Milos: A week of fun, friendship and fitness, held at a beautiful location in Greece.
Katrina absolutely went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. She handled the reservations for our hotel, greeted everyone with individual swag bags, and even walked down to Pollonia very early one morning to select the perfect freshly caught fish for our group dinner. We each experienced an incredible in-room massage, too! Each morning began with meditation held either pool-side or at the beach, followed by fitness workouts. At the end of each day we enjoyed relaxing yoga. Both the fitness and yoga routines were geared for all levels (flailing beginner to standing on your head advanced). And there was plenty of time to relax, read, lay by the pool, or explore the island each day. Efcharistó, Katrina, for the opportunity of a lifetime!

Being my first ever wellness retreat, I didn’t know what to expect, but from the moment I arrived, it was amazing!
The location, the food, the people were all great and Katrina made everyone feel so comfortable. I came in wanting time to learn to relax and I can honestly say, with the help of meditation, yoga, and workouts, I have never had such a relaxing, rejuvenating week in my life. Can’t wait to go again!
