Rest & Rejuvenate with a
Seven Night Yin, Qi Gong & Yoga Nidra Retreat
in Ithaca, Greece
May 27 - June 3, 2023

Where
Ithaca, Greece
Itha108 is a Grecian island retreat set in a place of outstanding natural beauty, providing a space specifically for peace, relaxation and practice. Ithaca, home of Itha108, is one of the smallest in the Ionian island constellation that is radiating with Grecian authenticity. Itha108 overlooks the sea and the eastern coastline of neighbouring Kefalonia from an elevated wilderness of olive trees and exposed rocks that provide the elements around which it is built, allowing its natural beauty to speak for itself. An emphasis on indoor-outdoor living ensures full use of the land and its treasures that extend to sweeping and hidden beaches below.

About the Retreat




Join long time friends, Michelle and Susanne, for an enriching immersion at the beautiful Itha108 Yoga and Creative Resort on the mythical island of Ithaca. This relaxing yoga retreat will provide the space for you to slow down, giving your body and soul ample opportunity to rejuvenate from the inside out.
Feel invigorated each morning from energy enhancing meditations, pranayama and qi gong inspired practices. Naturally fall into a greater sense of relaxation in the evenings through Yin and yoga nidra. Plus, two 90 minute self-myofascial release workshops led by Michelle, to work out any long held tension or knots, inviting the body to melt into the retreat even further.

The Retreat Leaders

Susanne and Michelle immediately bonded while attending a training with Paul and Suzee Grilley (co-founders of Yin yoga) several years ago. Over time, it has become clear that they balance each other perfectly like yin and yang. In this retreat they will combine their extensive knowledge of healing energy practices and yoga to offer a rejuvenating experience like none other. Every morning Michelle will guide you through an invigorating meditation and Qi Gong practice. In the evenings, the two will join forces to bring you Yin yoga enhanced by reiki energy healing and a soothing yoga nidra.

Michelle Finch is a long time student of Yin, yoga philosophy and energy enhancing practices. She is passionate about making the healing practices of yoga accessible to as many people as possible helping them tos find greater harmony and peace within. She is known for her grounded, light hearted nature as well as her go with the flow attitude in life.

For Susanne, the hatha style was her entrance to yoga, but it is with Yin and Yoga Nidra that she feels most true to herself and finds deep peace within. She integrates these practices of deep relaxation with the healing practice of reiki which she will offer within some of the evening Yin classes. Susanne is known for her casual style and sense of humor as well as her love for good food.
