Katrin has created a special and very beautiful place on Ikaria with THE EGG. Being able to spend time there is healing in itself and shows the attitude in which Katrin does Yoga with us and also gives massages.

Thanks to her sensitive and attentive guidance, I was able to increase my flexibility and become more aware of my body in just a few days.
The small group – carefully chosen by Katrin – was also a special treat. Four women from three countries were able to get to know the autentic Ikaria with her. We were warmly welcomed everywhere. I not only learned a lot about myself during this week, but was also able to experience Ikaria in the quality that makes this island one of the “Blue Zones”: simple, wild, a place of music, gatherings and individual withdrawl.
Thank you, Katrin, for making this journey inward and outward possible for me!

A Perfect Blend of Yoga, Exploration, and Greek Hospitality – A Truly Ikarian Experience!

My experience at THE GG in Ikaria exceeded all my expectations, offering a beautiful balance of relaxation, adventure, and cultural immersion. The retreat was a refreshing escape into the heart of Ikaria, a place renowned for its tranquility, rich traditions, and vibrant spirit.

We were fortunate to have Katrin as our Yoga instructor and guide throughout the retreat. Her daily Yoga sessions, held twice a day, were the perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate. Her teaching style is calming yet invigorating, accommodating all levels, which allowed me to connect more deeply with my practice. Beyond Yoga, Katrin truly went above and beyond. She embodied the warmth of the Ikarian people, not only answering our countless questions about the island but personally driving us around to explore the stunning northern part of Ikaria. Katrin ensured we felt like part of the family, making this experience unforgettable.

We visited some of the most charming beaches and indulged in traditional Greek food at local tavernas, where the hospitality of the Ikarian people shone through. Each stop was an opportunity to experience the authentic spirit of the island – from its relaxed pace of life to its deep sense of community.

A true highlight was experiencing an Ikarian Panagiry – a local festival where the entire community comes together to celebrate with food, live music, and joyful dancing. This was more than just an event; it was an immersion into the culture and soul of Ikaria.

THE EGG is a perfect retreat for anyone looking to combine yoga and relaxation with a deeper exploration of Ikaria’s rich culture and stunning landscapes. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking a holistic experience that goes beyond Yoga and into the heart of a truly special Blue Zone island. Thank you Katrin!

A Memorable Yoga Experience in the Heart of Ikaria

As a retired teacher, I was looking for a peaceful and enriching experience, and I found exactly that at THE EGG Yoga retreat in Ikaria. This was my first time practicing yoga, and I couldn’t have asked for a more patient and supportive teacher than Katrin. Her guidance made each session accessible and enjoyable, helping me connect with my body in ways I hadn’t before.

What truly made this retreat special was Katrin’s warmth and generosity, both in and out of the Yoga studio. Not only did she take the time to carefully teach the Yoga sessions, but she also drove us around the beautiful island, answering all our questions and sharing the rich history and culture of Ikaria. This combination of Yoga and exploration made the experience even more fulfilling, as I was able to connect deeply not only with the practice but also with the island and its incredible community.

The places we visited were breathtaking – from serene beaches to traditional villages, and the people we met were as warm and welcoming as Katrin herself. We also attended an Ikarian Panagiry which was a wonderful chance to experience the island’s vibrant culture, with music, food, and dancing that brought everyone together.

I am so grateful to Katrin for her patience, her kindness, and for making this Yoga experience such a meaningful one. I would highly recommend this Retreat to anyone, who, like me, are eager to combine relaxation with exploration in such a special place. Thank you, Katrin!

Welcome to THE EGG OF LIFE YOGA AND RE-CONNECTING RETREAT – a carefully curated experience at my favourite place on this little planet: The sea, mountains and healing soil of Ikaria island.

Splendid sea and mountain views, the turquoise sparkling clear water, the intoxicating smell of Greek herbs, the vibrant stillness in the Yoga Shala and the basic living of the locals… All of it keeps reminding me how everything is connected and intertwined. The island draws me into my practice, my practice draws me into the island.

This is what I’m sharing with you. Deep breaths. Wild nature. The healing hot springs. The hike to the top of the mountain. Sand under our feet. Delicious food. Moments of awe. Yoga – not just postures and poses, but a practice that permeates the whole life, every breath, every instant.

Together we pause. We savour the present moment. We appreciate the vastness and the voidness of being. We share a few steps on our random walk through life, re-connecting what belongs together.

I am looking forward connecting with you.
