PILATES EMBRACE – Greece


Fall in Love…

…with Paros, just like we did, on our first visit. Being nature and outdoor lovers, we found the perfect retreat location that gives you that sense of complete freedom right by the beach. We secretly call this retreat our ‘feel good’ retreat, as we invite you on this exploration of your body and mind. You will be in the hands of three wonderful teachers who have found their calling in working on a deep level. Anja will lead us through her unique and very special Pilates and Yoga classes, while Miriam will introduce us to the three-dimensional movements of Gyrokinesis®. Mareile, your host, will ensure your well-being and offer private sessions.

The Geek island dream…

Paros is one of the Cyclades most traditional islands. Situated in the Aegean Sea and small enough to be explored in a day, it is best known for its beaches and traditional villages. Think with whitewashed sugar houses, paved streets and blue-domed churches – the perfect place for a quintessential Greek retreat.

Our venue and home for the week is am impeccably run retreat center located on a quiet beach. The yoga shala is a peaceful space with the sunlight filtering through its reed curtains…oh, how much we are already looking forward to being there!

Talking about being there, here is some logistical and practical information: You can get to Paros by either boat or plane. On departure and arriving days we will provide a free pick up from either location.


Getting there

By plane:
Aegean Air flies from Athens to Paros. Depending on the season you could also catch a  flight to Mykonos island and from there its a 45-minute boat ride to Paros.

By boat from Athens: 
There are two options: Pireaus port and Rafina port.

1) Rafina port is closer to the airport and you can get there either by taxi or bus.
By bus will take you about 45 minutes and it costs 3 Euros.
By taxi it will take you less time but more money.

2) Piraeus port is further from airport than Rafina, and you can get there by bus, metro or taxi. The metro and bus are both very convenient because they will leave you just a few meters from where you get the boat to Paros.

Depending on the ferry company, the trip from Athens to Paros will take between 3 – 5 hrs. For Greek ferry schedules, a good website is www.gtp.gr

Our retreat will officially start in the early evening of October 10th, giving you all day to arrive at the venue.


Sweet and simple

Our retreat home Okreblue has the true soul of a yoga retreat. No wonder we need to book our spot a year in advance… The rooms are cosy and clean with the minimalistic feel that is typical of the Greek islands. Walk out barefoot to the beach, smile in the wind, enjoy the realization that we need so little to be happy! We will take all our meals and movement classes here, so if you want to be close and won’t miss the high end luxury you might be used to from some of our other venues, this is the perfect place for you!

For a bit more bling

We do realise that some of you don’t want to miss some of the creature comforts that we also associate with a perfect retreat holiday. Therefore we have secured some additional rooms at the nearby Ambassador Luxury Villas. The spaces here are limited, so the sooner you let us know, the better. From the villa it’s a short 5 min walk along the beach to Okreblue where meals and classes will take place.
