Yin and Meditation Retreat

This June, we are inviting guests to something truly special: our first retreat devoted entirely to Yin Yoga and meditation. While many yoga retreats include a variety of styles, this experience is designed to focus deeply on just two practices, creating a fresh and memorable way to slow down, restore, and reconnect. Spend one week by the sea stretching the body, calming the mind, and enjoying the peaceful rhythm of yoga and meditation in a beautiful coastal setting. It is also a chance to turn inward, reflect, connect with Gozo’s natural beauty, and meet like-minded new friends.

Where do we stay?

Accommodation is at the 4-star Calypso Hotel, where you will stay in a sea view room and enjoy breakfast each day. In between sessions, you can unwind by the rooftop pool or head to the sea for some quiet time. The hotel is located right by the water, near a small beach, and there are many charming restaurants nearby where you can enjoy dinner in the evening.

What is Yin Yoga?

Yin yoga is a gentle, slow-paced style of yoga where postures and stretches are held for longer periods of time. After a session, the body often feels deeply released, almost as if you have received a massage. Many people leave feeling calm, relaxed, and renewed. Yin yoga offers a powerful antidote to busy modern life, which is one reason it has become one of the most popular forms of yoga around the world.

When does the retreat take place and what is the daily schedule?

The Yin Yoga and Meditation retreat runs from the 25th of June to the 2nd of July. A typical day begins with yoga or meditation in the morning, followed by breakfast. Afterwards, there is time for sightseeing and relaxation, before lunch is shared together at different locations around the island. In the late afternoon, there will be another yoga and meditation session, continuing until sunset. On some evenings, guests will enjoy a veggie BBQ with music on the beach.

You will be guided by Monique and Sarah. Monique is an experienced outdoor Yin Yoga and Meditation teacher who has been organising yoga retreats for four years.
