01 · The Retreat
casa /ˈkäsə/ a quiet place to exhale.
The last week of a Greek summer,on Zakynthos.
Everything is arranged before you arrive. Every hour after that is yours.
By late August, the crowds thin, the sea holds the whole summer’s heat, and Zakynthos finally exhales. The days grow shorter, but the evenings don’t seem to notice, and something in you slows down to meet them.
For six nights, the estate is ours alone. The first light comes in low across the water while everything else is still asleep, and your mat is already down, facing the sea.
One day we take a private yacht out to empty sea caves, and one full day, on a secluded beach where loggerheads swim in the shallows, lunch drifts into dinner under the stars. Otherwise, there is nowhere you need to be.
02 · The Setting
37.8° N · 20.9° E
Where the Greece yoga retreat is: The other sideof Zakynthos.
Zakynthos gives its famous cliffs to the sunset. We chose the shore that faces the morning.
An estate where most of the day happens outdoors, somewhere between the shade and the water.
Old olive and cypress trees shade a Mediterranean garden that falls gently toward the Ionian. Inside there are two living rooms. But life moves out. By afternoon the day has drifted from the outdoor kitchen to the daybeds beside the two infinity pools, which run toward the horizon until it is hard to say where they end.
A boardwalk follows the water into the island’s capital, about thirty minutes on foot. It is near enough for an afternoon wander, yet secluded enough that the town’s hum never reaches the terraces.
Below the pools the garden gives way to rock, and the rock to deep, clear blue. Most mornings the stone is already warm underfoot, leaving only one decision: whether to take the ladder down into the sea.

A past Casa guest, in her words
“I loved not having to make any decisions throughout the week.Each day was like unwrapping a new gift.”
Lisa C. · Costa Rica 202603 · The People
The people who make the week,on an island known by heart.
A Casa week is shaped by a small group of people who care about the same things: a practice taught with precision, food worth sitting down for, and a place where the small things are already done.
Lauren Coleman
Founder · Senior Yoga Teacher
Teaching since sixteen · Vinyasa, Hatha, Bikram, Yin, Restorative, Nidra
On Zakynthos she teaches alongside Darina, and brings to the mat the same attention Casa gives to the pace of the week, the table and the small details around it.
“You can truly feel how much heart she puts into every aspect of the retreat.”

Read Lauren’s story
Her Approach
Lauren’s teaching begins with a simple principle: strength and softness are not opposites. Her detailed, alignment-based approach returns to the foundations, helping guests move with greater understanding rather than force.
Through intentional sequencing, focused drills and precise cues, she helps guests recognize when the body needs support, when it can release and how attention, breath and alignment change the way movement feels. Guests learn to engage without gripping, soften without collapsing and work with gravity rather than continuously resisting it.
Even when challenging, the practice is intended to feel light, clear and considered, helping guests build a more intelligent relationship with the body that extends beyond the mat and into daily life.
Her Background
Before founding Casa, Lauren worked at Chanel’s corporate office in New York. Her attention to detail and experience across travel, wellness, marketing and design led her to create Casa: thoughtful without pretension, beautiful without noise and grounded enough to feel human.
She brings that same consideration to the practices she leads and to the wider rhythm of every retreat, from the pace and visual details to the meals, settings and place-led experiences woven through the week.
Darina Angelow
Founder & CEO, Nomadikas
Yoga practice since 2012 · teaching since 2020 · RYT 200 · cranio sacral bodywork
Darina built Nomadikas around what she travels for herself: quiet, nature, architecture someone thought about, and places that are what they claim to be. Her idea of luxury is space and silence, not polish. Twelve years in fashion taught her to see, and simplicity is what calms her, so that is what the Nomadikas homes look like.
Her yoga is a blend of vinyasa, hatha and yin. Her first retreat was on Zakynthos in 2021, at the estate you are coming to, and she will be there for your week.
04 · The Days on Zakynthos
Two classes a day. The rest is yours.
-
01 · Morning
Coffee, then practice.
Coffee on the terrace, then yoga and breathwork while the air is still soft, and breakfast outside before the sun climbs high.
-
02 · Between
The long middle of the day.
After lunch the terraces go quiet, and the afternoon asks nothing but a nap in the shade, a swim, the book you brought and will not finish. Two of the days we give whole to the water, one from the yacht and one from the shore.
-
03 · Evening
Yin, then dinner.
Yin as the day lets go, then dinner, served outside on an evening so warm that getting up from the table is the hardest thing anyone is asked to do.

07 · Who It’s For
Come on your own, or bring someone you love.
- For people who move because it feels good and eat well because they like to, who would take a quiet week of both over anything promising to change them.
- Away from the tourism and the noise, the days are the sea, a long table and the classes you feel like taking. Miss one and we save you a seat at dinner.
- People who want the care of a fine hotel without any of its pretension, who travel slowly and in small company, and who are happiest where the land is wild and the last light goes down over the water.
08 · In Their Words

10 · Questions
Before you say yes.
Where does the Greece retreat take place?
The Casa Retreats yoga retreat in Greece takes place on a private estate on the quiet eastern shore of Zakynthos, in the Ionian Islands. The week is in collaboration with Nomadikas. The estate sits in a garden of old olive trees just above the Ionian Sea, near the island’s capital. For the whole week, it is kept for our group. We share the exact address privately with each guest in the weeks before the retreat.
When is it, and how long?
Sunday, August 29 to Saturday, September 4, 2027: seven days and six nights. The retreat begins at 4:00 PM on Sunday and ends at 10:00 AM on Saturday.
What is included?
Six nights on the private estate, with robes, slippers and a bathroom of its own for every bedroom. Housekeeping comes daily, with fresh linens and towels mid-week. Morning and evening yoga with Lauren and Darina, and the mats, blocks and belts to go with it. Breakfast, lunch and dinner from a private chef at the estate, with wine at dinner. One day at sea on a private yacht, with lunch on board. One full day on a secluded shore inside the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, with lunch and dinner by the sea.
How much does the Greece retreat cost?
The Greece retreat costs from €4,850 per person for six nights, with every meal, yoga twice a day, a private yacht day and a full day in the National Marine Park of Zakynthos included. The Twin Room, on the garden side with no sea view, is shared by two at €4,850 per person. A Sea View Room shared by two is €6,500 per person, and a Sea View Room for one is €8,500. The Master Suite is €7,500 per person for two sharing, or €9,500 for one, and is sold out for 2027.
Can I come to the Greece retreat on my own?
Yes, and all genders are welcome. A Sea View Room or the Master Suite can be booked for one. You can join the table for every meal or take an afternoon to yourself by the pool, as you like.
How do I book?
Begin with the inquiry form. We then set up a short call to talk through the week and the rooms, and confirm your room with you before anything is reserved.
More questions
What is the week like?
Each day has two yoga classes, taught by two senior instructors who draw on Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin, with breathwork in the mornings. Every meal at the estate is cooked by a private chef. Between classes there are the rocks below the garden, the two pools, a thirty-minute walk into town along the water, or rest. We spend one day at sea on a private yacht, and one full day on the shore of the Marine Park, where lunch runs on into dinner by the water.
Who leads the yoga on the Greece retreat?
The yoga is led by two senior instructors: Lauren Coleman, Casa’s founder, who has taught yoga since she was sixteen, and Darina Angelow, founder of Nomadikas, who has practiced yoga since 2012 and taught since 2020.
Do I have to do everything?
Not at all. Every class, meal and day out is an invitation, never a requirement. If the evening class loses out to one more swim, nobody will ask where you were.
Is the Greece retreat suitable for beginners?
Yes. Casa is designed for real bodies and every level of experience. Each class is taught with clear guidance and more than one way into every pose, so the practice meets you wherever you are that day.
Is it very spiritual?
It is down to earth. The practice is thoughtful and precise, with nothing performed for its own sake, and the rest of the week is simply good food, good company and the sea.
How is Casa different from a typical wellness retreat?
Casa is one considered week rather than a packed program. We practice morning and evening, a private chef cooks for us at the estate, and the hours in between stay open for the sea, the shade or nothing at all. Nothing is prescribed and nothing promises to change you. The care goes into the place we stay, the teaching and the food on the table.
Is the estate on the sea?
Yes. The garden runs down to a rocky shore, with a ladder from the rocks into the water, and the estate has two infinity pools as well. There is no sand, so water shoes are worth packing.
What is the food like?
Our private chef cooks every meal at the estate, with wine at dinner, including breakfast on the morning we leave for the shore. On the yacht, lunch is on board. On the shore, lunch and dinner are by the sea. Share any dietary needs when you inquire, and we will confirm with the chef what is possible before you book.
What is the weather like at the end of August?
It is still high summer on Zakynthos. The days are hot and bright, the sea is warm enough to stay in as long as you like, and the evenings stay mild for dinner outside. Closer to the retreat, we send a packing list and full details.
Who is Nomadikas?
Nomadikas is where nomads find a home, anywhere in the world. Each home is unique: a villa, a regenerative farm, an estate, a venue. What they share is architecture and soul, each one a wild escape in nature. Every home is seen in person before it joins, and only the ones that give goosebumps make it in. Our week takes place at the Nomadikas home on Zakynthos. You can see the rest of its wild escapes and homes for nomads.
What are the rooms like?
There are eight bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and a walk-in shower. Every one, the Master Suite included, has a king bed that splits into two twins. The Master Suite, about 36 m², has a private outdoor terrace and a plunge pool with bubbles. The Sea View Rooms, about 22 m², each look out over the Ionian. The Twin Room sits on the garden side, with no sea view.
What is not included?
International flights, airport transfers and travel insurance, which we strongly recommend but never require. A massage can be arranged at an additional cost, paid to the therapist on the day.
How do I pay?
A 50% deposit reserves your place, and the balance is due May 1, 2027. Bookings made on or after May 1, 2027 are paid in full. The retreat agreement, with the full booking and cancellation terms, is shared before any payment.
What is the cancellation policy for the Greece retreat?
A 50% non-refundable deposit and your signed agreement reserve your place. If your written cancellation reaches us on or before May 17, 2027, we refund everything you have paid above the deposit, less any non-recoverable processing fees. After May 17, 2027 there is no refund, so we strongly recommend travel insurance. The full terms, including what happens if Casa ever has to change or cancel the retreat, are in the guest agreement you receive before you reserve. If anything here differs, the agreement governs.
Can I share a room with a partner or a friend?
Yes. Every room has a king bed that splits into two twins, so a Sea View Room, the Master Suite and the Twin Room can each be shared by two. Each guest pays the shared rate.
Can I have a room to myself?
Yes. A Sea View Room or the Master Suite can be booked for one. The Twin Room is for two guests sharing.
Which airport should I fly into?
Fly into Zakynthos International Airport (ZTH), a short drive from the estate. Transfers to the estate are booked directly with our partners on Zakynthos, and we share the options and details once your place is confirmed.
Can I arrive early?
Not before 4:00 PM on Sunday, when the retreat begins. If you would like a night on the island first, we will gladly send our hotel recommendations.
