deep rest
holistic yoga retreAT WITH Ashlie Robbie and Marsha Jaworski | euphoria retreat, GREECE
| 23-28 APRIL 2026
Our second retreat with Canada based experts, Ashlie and Marsha, is a full-body return to your natural rhythm. We have refined a 6 day program of profound rest and renewal in the serenely luxurious Greek mountain haven of Euphoria Retreat. We will nourish every aspect of our being tenderly led by two certified yoga therapists, integrating ancient yoga philosophy with modern neuroscience and an osteopathic lens.
about
‘Deep Rest’ Retreat is a six-day journey into true restoration—designed for those craving a reset in body, mind, and spirit. Held in the ancient forest of the Peloponnese, this immersive experience blends strong and slow yoga, breathwork and guided meditations that shift your relationship with thought.
You’ll learn tools like Yoga Nidra and Non-Sleep Deep Rest, rooted in neuroscience and ancient wisdom, to support deep, quality sleep. Days are balanced between movement and stillness, with forest walks, cold plunges, spa rituals, and wholesome meals prepared with care. There’s space for introspection, connection, and creativity—with time to explore historical Greek towns and indulge in treatments at one of Europe’s top destination spas.
practices
Morning Yoga Practice - Strong and Slow Flow – We will gently awaken our body through a practice that balances strength and surrender, guiding you to move with intention, build stability, and embrace ease in every breath.
Evening Yoga Practice - Breathe and Unwind - Gentle evening yoga practice combining soothing breathwork, mindful stretching, and yoga nidra meditation to release tension and prepare the body and mind for deep rest.
Sleep Science Masterclass – Dive deeper with us as we learn about nurturing sleep routines through a blend of ancient yoga philosophy with modern neuroscience through transformative practices like Yoga Nidra and Non-Sleep Deep Rest. These evidence-based approaches nourish every aspect of your being: physical, mental, emotional, social, creative.
Note: There are no levels on our retreats, so you are welcome as a complete beginner or professional - it’s all the same to us and our teachers.

With a bachelor’s degree in psychology, she brings a rich biopsychosocial perspective to her work, creating a holistic and compassionate approach to teaching. Her expertise as an osteopath and massage therapist influence her classes, which are known for their anatomical precision, mindful movement, and emphasis on deep healing. She leads a comprehensive 200-hour yoga teacher training, as well as a specialized Flow Yoga Teacher Training.
Ashlie teaches about the inherent wisdom of the body, how to listen to its messages and respond in compassion and support. After receiving her 500hr yoga certification she’s been trained in barre, restorative training, SUP yoga, corrective core exercise certification and Yoga Therapy Training C-IAYT (800hrs). She has also been involved in teaching yoga in a research study for pain and osteoarthritis at McMaster University, based in Ontario, Canada. Ashlie uses her different trainings as tools to educate and empower her students and clients to correct imbalances, holding patterns and compensations so they can feel strong and full of vitality.
