FAQ

Why a Yoga retreat?

Retreats provide a unique opportunity to escape an everyday normal life routine and practise yoga and pilates whilst travelling to a new corner of the earth. It is time out to totally relax, disctraction free. We also create an enviroment that helps kick start new healthier habits, a chance to reflect and realign. No matter your previous yoga/pilates experience we welcome everyone to Soulscape Shala retreats.

I'm coming alone, is this okay?

YES! We have a mix of people who decide to come with friends and those who would like to travel alone. You will be added to a whatsapp group once you sign up, so you can chat to fellow retreat goes before the adventure starts. 

We always recommend sharing a twin room - it might sound intimidating but its an amazing way to feel a sense of community and sharing, there are always lots of spaces to relax and unwind in our luxury villa if you do need to wind down alone.

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

"Another outstanding retreat from Soulscape Shala.  Accommodation was clean, spacious, beautifully designed as well as functional for all our needs.  The gardens and outdoor space had the wow factor - from the variety of cacti, to the huge pool and outdoor decking area.  Chef Jenny kept all diets content with her use of local produce to portray the best elements of Greek cuisine.  Despite healthy appetites we were all sated at the end of every meal, somewhat jealous of Jenny's ability to make wholesome, simple ingredients utterly delicious.

Fiona's programme of bikram/hot yoga and HIIT pilates mixed with yin yoga and vinyasa from guest teachers was perfect for those who really wanted to challenge their practice in a new location, those who wanted to come back to a more focused yoga and a gentle introduction to those new to yoga.  This is one of the hardest things to convey - Fiona's unique ability to push experienced yogis to new levels AND gently, compassionately encourage those finding yoga for the first time to connect their mind and body.

The location afforded lots to do from a five minute amble to a funky beach bar hang out to a 50min cab ride to quirky boutiques on the other side of Paros.

Above all, what makes a retreat experience with Soulscape Shala is the attention to detail that Fiona and Marc put into every area in their meticulous research.  Its like going on holiday with the most generous of hosts !"

"Well, we did Greece right!  I spent an incredible week with some of my beautiful yogi sistas (and Jeff ) in Paros. My Captain even flew out and stayed for a couple of days!  Met some lovely people along the way including our British yogis who I hope to be able to cross paths with again.  What an amazing trip we were blessed to have.  We swam, we shopped,  we ate healthy organic food (fresh figs off the tree anyone?). Celebrated birthdays and anniversaries.  Spent a day in Antiparos, a day in Santorini and another on a beautiful catamaran.  Weather was perfection. Watched the sunrise (something I rarely do and should do more often) and sunset every single day.  We practiced outdoors several times a day with the blue Aegean Sea serving as our drishti.   Oh and what a lovely villa!  Fantastico!!  After Paros I hopped over to visit Athens on the solo for a day.  This is the first of many more trips to come with these strong, kind, warm, beautiful, uplifting women.  My soul is happy…."
