🏝️17-21 July: Holistic Face Yoga Retreat (up to 15 participants)
Are you ready to spend days of deep connection, beauty, and renewal on the legendary island of longevity?
Ikaria 2026 is calling and this time, you can join me in two unique ways:
- through Personal Retreat Days with Maria (choose at least 3 days between 6-15 July)
- or the original Holistic Face Yoga Retreat (17-21 July)
Ikaria, known as the Blue Zone island where people forget to die, invites us to live simply, breathe deeply, and move in harmony with nature. Between sea and mountain, stillness and laughter.
This experience blends Face Yoga, Aqua Face Yoga, movement, breathwork, and Ikarian living.
A recipe for rejuvenation inside and out.

For a minimum of 3 days, you’ll enjoy a fully personalized program blending:
- Face Yoga, Face Pointer and Facial Massage sessions designed for your goals and needs
- Aqua Face Yoga, body movement, Qi gong practices for balance, strength & flow
- Breathwork, relaxation & energy alignment
- Guided island experiences like nature walks, hidden beaches, local food, natural thermal waters, dancing, cooking, traditional festivals, wineries, nightlife and simple island living.
- Time to rest, reflect, and recharge
Not included - Travel to/from Ikaria, personal expenses
You’ll have me as your personal guide to experience Ikaria, the longevity island, through its rhythm, traditions, and healing simplicity.
Every personal retreat is created uniquely for you, with flexibility and depth.
