Zakynthos Retreat
Nervous system reset
Move, Transcend, Transform
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Ionian Sea on the beautiful island of Zakynthos, Greece, Villa Kyanos offers an unparalleled experience designed for profound relaxation and rejuvenation.
Join me for an intimate, transformative journey. This isn't your average yoga retreat; it's a six-day immersive experience rooted in transformation. Reconnect with yourself and others through tailored yoga sessions, hybrid movement practices, ice immersion sessions, breathwork, and sound baths—all crafted to promote a comprehensive nervous system reset. Indulge in hearty, wholesome, and nourishing meals prepared with local, organic ingredients, bringing everyone together at the table.
Each day, I carefully program activities to include sound healing, breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness practices, creating a safe space for personal growth. Engage in activities that will leave you with a renewed sense of purpose and direction in your life.
Explore the natural beauty of Zakynthos with guided nature hikes or enjoy a tranquil boat trip. Embrace the art of mindful living while allowing space for exploration and relaxation. This is more than a retreat; it’s an opportunity to rediscover and transform yourself completely.
Guest Teacher: Keris Ellington-Brown
Keris Ellington-Brown, an accomplished instructor known for her dynamic and integrative approach, will be joining us as our guest teacher for the CNS Reset Retreats.
She’ll be leading her signature "Rekaalibrate Sessions," a unique blend of yoga and Pilates, and guiding us through the beautiful trails on our hikes. Keris brings a vibrant energy to everything she does, along with a great sense of humour that guarantees laughs and lightness throughout our journey.
Having spent significant time together in Cape Town and on various retreats in Italy, I can personally attest to the joy and positivity she brings into any space. I’m thrilled and truly blessed that she’ll be sharing her expertise and enthusiasm with us on this retreat.

Our Chef Jeni England
Self taught, Jeni, founder of One Table Together began cooking at a young age through an interest in trying different flavours and experimenting with techniques in the kitchen. This progressed to hosting dinner parties for friends, where her passion for bringing people together with food started. Cooking from the heart, going with feeling rather than any kind of recipe plan, Jeni's food is vibrant, packed full of flavour and always offers something new and exciting with each meal.
Jeni strongly believes that food is the fastest way to create bonds, and serves meals in a way that is designed to make you feel like you are around the table with family. Big dishes laden with colourful, delicious looking food are placed on the table so guests serve themselves and each other. Her food, while being healthy and made with fresh, organic where possible, locally sourced ingredients, is made to feel nourishing and most importantly comforting. With no one particular style or cuisine each meal has a different influence, but all have the same feeling of love and nourishment running through them.
