The island
andros, greece
Andros, is the quintessential Greek island, sophisticated yet rustic, mountainous yet beach-lined, and nautical yet agricultural. The island is rich in spring waters...green, lush, and fertile, but also lined with great barren, rugged mountains. The hillsides are terraced with scattered farmsteads, orchards and vineyards....oranges, lemons, figs, grapes, and olives all proliferate. The island is rich in traditional white washed villages, ancient monasteries, and isolated beaches along the coast; archeological sites from the Byzantine period to the Hellenic are still today very well visible. The people in Andros are welcoming and happy, living a slow life following the rhythm of the sea. Andros, is a calm sanctuary that takes pride in its traditional way of life. Come uncover the secret wonders of Andros with us!
The accommodation
Our beautifully Greek designed villas, are nestled on the mountains and have a panoramic view of the magnificent blue Aegean sea. They are located in an incredibly peaceful area of the Greek isle of Andros, near the capitol of Chora. The cluster of villas sits on a hill above a secluded beach, take a walk down the property and jump into the crystal waters.
Every room has simple, elegant decor and everything at our villas is aimed to enhance the culture and natural beauty of Andros. No two rooms are the same and all are booked on a first come first serve basis.

The practice
Our Yoga retreat classes are designed to offer you a complete practice of strengthening and flexibility to feel aligned and connected. Our yoga classes will be a blend of Vinyasa, Hatha, and Yin Yoga. We will use specific alignment yoga practices to improve patterns in the way we hold our body and creative sequences to become attuned to our energetic body. Each session will include asana, pranayama, and mediation.
In our Myofascial classes, we will be teaching "hands on techniques" to learn to release fascia, in addition, we will also be using foam rollers for teaching Self Release.

Fascial Release, is applying sustained pressure to our Fascial restrictions in order to restore and enhance motion, eliminate pain, and to facilitate release of the fascia. Maria will be teaching you "hands on techniques" on how to release fascia while in different positions and Yoga postures, as well as to Self Release with the Foam Roller in many different positions and Yoga poses.
On paper, Maria is a Physical Therapist, a Myofascial Master, and a Reiki Virtuoso.
She brings her gifts and talents of healing thru Fascial Release which she has been teaching for 34 years. She has given a series of courses in Myofascial Mobilization and incorporates into her work the understanding of emotional causation of disease and dysfunction. She specializes in teaching her students to Release Fascia with their heart and hands as well as self release with foam rollers.
What her credentials don’t tell you is that her calling in life is to help people stand in their own truth, release old patterns, and begin leading authentic and fulfilling lives. Maria's style for leading retreats is one that begins with the soul, moves through the heart, and elevates the individual.
Through, "hands on techniques", she guides you toward freeing your fascia which helps you release patterns of emotional & physical pain that have been holding you back from reaching your full wellness potential.
Her healing workshops and one-on-one sessions are designed to blend her knowledge & experience of physical therapy, myofascial release, energy healing, and her spiritual trainings.
Through healing past wounds, her students can then step into lives filled with peace, purpose and true fulfillment. Maria will facilitate the release of the false self which lies in the Fascia so the Emergence of your True Self (self-love) can take place.

FAQ'S
What is Fascia?
Fascia, is the "butterfly net" that we sit in. It is the dense, covering system that catches all the emotional, physical, and spiritual trauma we endure throughout our lifetimes. Fascia, carries the diary of all our lifetime experiences. Fascia, is the connective tissue system of the body, that has an appearance similar to a spider's web. Our Fascia, covers and encases every muscle, bone, nerve, artery, vein, and organs. Fascia plays an important role in the support and function of our bodies, since it surrounds and attaches to all structures. In the healthy state, the fascia is relaxed, it has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. When one experiences physical , emotional or spiritual trauma, the insult lands in the fascia and the fascia loses pliability over time. It becomes tight, hardened, restricted, and a source of tension to the rest of the body.
When our Fascia becomes restricted, we can lose range of motion, experiencing pain and discomfort. Myofascial pain differs from other types of pain because it originates in "trigger points," which are related to stiff, anchored areas within the myofascial tissue. Some of the healing shifts that you will feel when experiencing Fascial Release: Emotional releases, decreased pain & inflammation, enhanced movement, improved immune system function, and releasing our blocked energy to "flow" again, as it works through the meridian system. Maria will be teaching you "hands-on" techniques to help you release patterns of emotional and physical pain that have been holding you back from reaching your full wellness potential. She's here to help you heal the issues in your tissues!
