deep rest
April 23 - 28, 2026
Greece
Join Ashlie and Marsha for a 6-day journey of profound rest and renewal in the serene luxury of Euphoria Retreat, nestled in the majestic Greek mountains. This immersive experience is thoughtfully designed to restore your whole being—body, mind, and spirit.
Guided by two yoga therapists, this retreat weaves together ancient yogic wisdom, modern neuroscience, and an osteopathic approach to healing. Each day offers opportunities to reconnect with your natural rhythm through intentional movement, breath, stillness, and soulful nourishment.
Let yourself be deeply heard, gently guided, and wholly replenished.
about
‘Deep Rest’ Retreat is a six-day journey into true restoration. Set within the ancient forest of the Peloponnese, this immersive experience blends strong and slow yoga practices, breathwork, and guided meditations that gently reshape your relationship with your thoughts.
You’ll explore rest as a skill, learning tools like Yoga Nidra and Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR), grounded in both neuroscience and timeless yogic wisdom, to support deep, nourishing restoration.
Each day offers a thoughtful balance of movement and stillness—with forest walks, cold plunges, healing spa rituals, and wholesome meals prepared with care. There’s spaciousness for introspection, creativity, and meaningful connection, alongside opportunities to explore nearby historic Greek towns and unwind at one of Europe’s premier destination spas.
practices
Morning Practice – Strong & Slow Flow
We’ll begin each day by gently awakening the body with a practice that harmonizes strength and surrender. Through intentional movement, you’ll build stability, cultivate presence, and find ease in every breath.
Evening Practice – Breathe & Unwind
Our evening sessions offer a gentle blend of breathwork, mindful stretching, and Yoga Nidra meditation—designed to release tension and prepare the body and mind for deep, restorative sleep.
Sleep Science Masterclass
Explore the art and science of rest in this experiential session that bridges ancient yogic wisdom with modern neuroscience. You’ll learn evidence-based practices like Yoga Nidra and Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) to support sleep quality and holistic well-being—physical, mental, emotional, social, and creative.
Come As You Are
Our retreats are open to all. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, you are welcome—just as you are. There are no levels here, only curiosity, care, and community.
Practice virtually with Marsha - wherever you are.
