Sword and Yoga - Yoga Retreats in Europe

I absolutely loved this retreat and would highly recommend it. The beach location was really stunning and the yoga sessions were varied, interesting and suitable for all levels. The group got on very well - it was so enjoyable going out to eat together in the evenings at different tavernas....we were all very sad to leave at the end!

I have decided last moment to book the Yoga retreat and it was the best decision for the summer.Diana and Calvin were great, i enjoyed all the yoga sessions and meditation and i have left from Zakynthos with great memories and new friends.Thank you

I attended the retreat on August 2022 and it was one of the best experiences ever! Great location at Zakynthos in fornt of the beach, with Diana’s excellent yoga and meditation sessions ! If you want a peaceful week of yoga retreat don’ t hesitate to join! I wish i could join every year!Both Diana and Calvin being super friendly and create a nice atmosphere to enjoy dinners all together.

I thank you, Diana and Calvin, for organizing this excellent retreat. Thanks for the patience and presence. I liked the different types of yoga practice and the different activities. Overall a good programm with a balanced mix of yoga, breathing, meditation and free time. Diana's calmness and peacefulness emerge through all her practice. Thanks for the good tips, namaste!

I wanted to rekindle my yoga practice, I was feeling burnt out from overwork and I wanted to have a nice relaxing holiday with my wife.I chose this retreat as it looked to be a perfect fit. Yoga twice a day, beach location in a beautiful Greek Island. Easy transfer from the airport. Space in the programme to have some free time. Interesting additional EFT training.I got to deepen my yoga practice. Sense of connection with the group. Introduction to Kundalini practice and EFT.This is a great retreat.The program has been designed extremely well and the course leaders are genuine in their intention, experienced, kind, and sensitive.The location is fabulous, not busy, the surrounding environment is natural and beautiful. The beach and sea are clean, the countryside is natural and unspoilt.There was enough yoga to satisfy my desire to deepen my practice without being too much. This was balanced by time to relax or go for walks or swim. The hotel has a lovely pool to relax by.We had a super group of people, the group was connected deeply thanks to our shared practice and the work we did in our EFT session.We made great friends and decided as a group that we will come back next year!I have been practicing yoga for a while, I really appreciated learning new things to add to my practice.There is a broad range of different aspects of yoga covered here.For me, this was a perfect balance of yoga practice and learning with a lovely beach holiday in a beautiful place.

Diana is an excellent teacher. Her classes are energising and fun and provided additional activity for our little getaway in Budapest. I also really like the meditation at the end, it leaves me feeling very relaxed and centered. She lets you know how far to go in a pose if you have injuries/weaknesses, which is really helpful. She also pays individual attention to people in the class. She will re-position you to help you get that extra boost from a pose and has helpfully re-positioned me when I’ve over-extended. Highly recommended!”

I had been wanting to attend a yoga retreat for a few years and this summer I chose Diana's retreat just because the dates were convenient and the setting (Greek island!) seemed super attractive.Now I am super grateful I ended up meeting Diana and Calvin and the wonderful group we formed. I loved Diana's Yoga sessions, and had the opportunity to discover different types of Yoga and meditation which I hadn't been attracted to before. Diana is a wonderful teacher and and transmits a lot of peace during the sessions. Regarding the accommodation, the rooms are a bit old, but clean, the pool is great and the views for the morning sessions amazing. In the morning, Calvin and Diana prepared a wonderful breakfast for us and in the evenings they took us to different restaurants, trying different vegetarian Greek food every night. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I hope to repeat it next year. Thank you very much!

In a few amazing days, you will reevaluate many things and start that important path of finding yourself again.
