Yulia Panina

About organizer

Yulia embarked on her yoga journey back in 2005 at the age of 17. Diagnosed with stage 3 scoliosis and never been doing any sports in school, she took a challenging hatha class out of curiosity. She was immediately fascinated with breathing techniques and alignment cues that opened a door to never ending exploration of her body and mind.

After 15 years of consistent practice she completed her first 200hr yoga teacher training under Heather Metzler at Wilmington Yoga Center in 2020 and started actively teaching right away. She has also been trained in prenatal yoga (being 34 weeks pregnant herself) and pranayama.

Yulia has a mix of classic hatha and ashtanga background which makes her vinyasa classes powerful and alignment focused. However, she loves bringing creative sequencing to her classes as she believes our minds have to stay flexible as much as the bodies.

Yulia has been lucky to travel around the world, see places and meet many amazing teachers that affected her practice and perception. After every new trip she was coming home a different person and had a strong desire to share the experiences and discoveries she made along the way with others.

That was how her vision of a perfect yoga retreat has emerged. Yulia led her first retreat in May 2023 and now hosts 3 retreats a year. She hand picks the most scenic locations and curates a balanced program which includes a variety of yoga classes and workshops along with amazing adventures to make it a lifetime experience.

What can be more transformative than immersion into practice in a beautiful place far away from home?

Introduction

Imagine how you are going to feel if wake up in a sea-view room and start your day with a blissful breathwork practice followed by sweaty vinyasa class… eat healthy and delicious breakfast and swim in the crystal clear water of Aegean Sea after. Or maybe you choose a massage and spa treatment instead?

Then you can join a scenic hiking or explore Amorgos to wrap up the day with sunset yin practice to fully relax the body and mind.
