About this trip

Escape on the perfect summer getaway to the Greek island of Lefkada on this special collaboration retreat by Josie Schweitzer and Megan Whiteside on this magical retreat. Enjoy 8 days and 7 nights of Mediterranean luxury at the stunning Villas Urania, twice daily yoga and Katonah Yoga®️, views of the Ionian Sea, a private beach, island hopping through the Greek Isles, amazing food, and more. 


You'll be able to wake up and sip coffee on the terrace of your villa, looking out over the deep blue ocean below. Enjoy lounging by your villa's pool, savor local flavors at each meal and sip on local wine, and get the chance to unplug and unwind for a week of island living.


The daily yoga practices will weave in multiple styles of yoga, and be mostly Katonah Yoga®; the theory, themes, adjustments, and movements, as well as a special workshop-style practice to gain more knowledge and insight. Those who have never practiced Katonah are absolutely welcome, the daily practices will be inclusive of skill level and experience for any styles of yoga.


Our beautiful home for the week, Urania Villas, is ideally located within driving distance of Athens, so no ferries or puddle jumper flights to get there! We recommend renting a car so it's easier to explore the breathtaking beaches of the island, and we will happily help coordinate carpools on the retreat. 


This retreat will also count towards 10 hour of Katonah Yoga® training!


Please arrive at Lefkada on Sunday after 3 pm and plan to depart the hotel on the 5th by noon.

The yoga on each Lacuna retreat blends modern techniques and traditional lineages, all while working within a familiar framework of Vinyasa “flow” based classes. While the yoga classes may feel familiar, many of the techniques and teachings are a refreshing change from the status quo. The teachings in Lacuna classes pull from Vinyasa, Hatha, and Katonah Yoga®, a practice steeped in Pranayama, sacred geometry, and Taoist theory.

Perfectly produced from the opening credits to the final scene., this exquisite adventure was above and beyond anything I could have imagined. The joy, laughter and love shared from our sunrise yoga sessions to hiking the Path of the Gods and yachting to Capri will grow until the next time. I found my people, in paradise and shall return. Meg and Jess are a true inspiration.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a yoga and meditation retreat in the serene town of Sorrento, and it was nothing short of transformative. The retreat was held at the charming Relais Regina Giovanna, surrounded by lemon groves and the beautiful beach. The accommodations were luxurious yet cozy, I felt like I was living in a dream. We practiced yoga twice daily, in an open-air studio overlooking the olive trees. Our instructors, Meg and Jess, were exceptional. I felt completely supported by them no matter what level of yoga I had practiced before. This trip was designed so perfectly to have a balance of rejuvenation, as well as, adventure. The retreat’s cuisine was a highlight. Each dish was a delightful combination of traditional Italian flavors and healthy, balanced nutrition. The farewell dinner consisted of a pizza and tiramisu making class, which was the best way to end the retreat with all of these amazing new friends I had made. The yoga and meditation retreat in Italy was a perfect blend of relaxation, self-improvement, and cultural immersion. I left the retreat not only feeling physically rejuvenated, but also mentally and spiritually uplifted. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a transformative and unforgettable getaway. BOOK THE TRIP!!!

The trip surpassed all expectations! Wonderful villa in lemon groves, the food and service were top notch, too! The yoga studio made each days practice a joy; we were surrounded by roses and lavender and a friendly bunny that just added to the magic. I feel better, stronger and happy for being on this retreat!
