What Is A Wellness Retreat Anyways

Imagine this… You slowly start to wake up as the soft morning light seeps in through your blue shutters. The sounds of nature start to buzz and the rooster is literally crowing. You yawn, stretch your arms, place your feet on the earth and take your time getting up – you aren’t in any rush. When you finally rise and open the shutters, the sun spills in and the clear blue sea view takes your breath away. The sea is calm and inviting today.

She’s calling your name, but you’ll get to her soon. First, you get ready to go to a morning movement class – today is yoga. The class opens your body and somehow both relaxes you and energizes you for the day. Your breakfast is prepared for you: a beautiful, delicious buffet of Greek classics. You take a sip of fresh squeezed orange juice and slowly nurse a freddo cappuccino as you enjoy the freshness of the food – you aren’t in any rush.

You are enjoying the company of the group, but the day is yours to do whatever your heart desires.

You can join the group activities or you can have the day to yourself.

You can stay all day enjoying the luxurious hotel or you can adventure around the town. The possibilities excite you.

You feel free. You feel supported. You’re on an adventure…

Does this call to your heart? Do you want to have an experience like it? I know I do. I crave a morning like that, let alone a whole week.

That’s the reason we at Eyia Retreats create and host wellness retreats, because the days are magical and the possibilities are transformational, and we want to share that experience with you!

But what exactly is a wellness retreat anyways? 

Wellness is the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health, so that instead of just surviving, you’re thriving.  A retreat is a withdrawal, and in this case, a group getaway. So, a wellness retreat is a group getaway centered on practicing healthy habits that support the whole being. 

The goal of a wellness retreat is for you to return home actually refreshed and rejuvenated, as well as have some new wellness practices to incorporate into your life. We want you to reconnect with yourself as well as to connect to a new place and a new group of people. We want you to feel full of life and ready to take on yours. 

Many times, a wellness retreat goes hand-in-hand with travel, experiencing another culture, authentic cuisine, and local traditions. The travel aspect of a wellness retreat alone can lead to a transformation as you are immersed in a new culture. Pair travel with wellness, and it’s a recipe for transformation. 

Wellness retreats usually have a theme which can range to honestly, basically anything. So you can get an idea of themes, here are some examples of wellness retreats Eyia Retreats is hosting this year:

Sole Dance & Yoga Retreat, Seeing Deeply Retreat – A Wellness Retreat for the Inspired Photographer, Ignite the Goddess Within – Dive Into Bliss and Manifest the Life you Desire, Connect Retreat – reconnecting and strengthening the connection between yourself and someone you care about, Art of Living Well – a blend of culture, history, art, food and wellness, and La Dolce Vida: Luxury Wellness Retreat in Italy.

And that’s just 6 retreats! The possibilities are limitless.

The picture painted at the beginning is a typical morning on a wellness retreat. Depending on the theme of the retreat, the yoga class could be anything from a morning exercise class to pilates, to embodied movement, to dance, to a walk with your camera, to meditation, to a guided journal session, you name it. 

Every wellness retreat is unique based on the theme as well as the teacher, location, time of year, and group. Even though every wellness retreat is different, they are all rooted in the idea of improving your overall wellness to amplify your life. 

So what are you waiting for?! Go and book your wellness retreat!
