the Blend
KHETANYA HENDERSON | Antiparos island, GREECE
| 4-9 September 2026
We’ve always dreamt of a retreat that combines the worlds of Pilates and Yoga - structure & flow. We have invited Khetanya Henderson founder of KKRU Pilates Studio & Wellness for a six-day retreat that blends classical Pilates, yoga, breath-led walks, and sound healing, as always, under the expert local care of Fykiada.
practice
Some mornings will begin with silent, breath-led walks through the island landscape to bring presence and clarity.
Morning movement sessions will rotate between: Classical Pilates to build strength, alignment, and control, Vinyasa yoga to create heat, flow, and expansion, Pilates sculpt and dynamic flows to ignite the body’s inner fire.
Afternoons will be introspective and deepening: Yin yoga for deep tissue release, restorative sessions to calm the nervous system, free-flow movement to explore intuitive expression in the body, and sound baths under the stars guiding the body into rest & integration.
the teacher
Khetanya Henderson is the founder of KKRU Pilates Studio & Wellness, and a third-generation classical Pilates instructor, mentored by Amy Taylor Alpers and Rachel Taylor Segel of The Pilates Center, whose lineage traces directly to Romana Kryzanowska and Joseph Pilates. With over two decades of devotion to the study of movement, her background includes dance, Feldenkrais, the Alexander Technique, and Laban movement analysis. Her classes focus on breath activation, functional strength, and intelligent, purposeful movement.
our island home
A collection of private homes, separate but part of a union: open terraces, reading nooks, endless views, a spacious shala on top, and a beautiful patio by the pool for our long shared meals. A private shelter, dedicated exclusively to our retreats to secure privacy and quietude.
Our resort is blessed with the privacy and serenity of the hill - just a 15min walk from the sea, and the vibrancy of the southern beaches of the island. Complete with a brand new stonebuilt shala with flowy curtains and an overwhelming view of the Aegean and the Ancient Sanctuary of Apollo that lends us its mythical energy.

nourishment
Food in Antiparos is what we call in Greek ‘evdaimonia’= the joy of the spirit. Is described as food for the soul, the subtle body and the eyes. Food prepared by our retreat chef with deep knowledge of Greek culture, macrobiotic nutrition and respect to the land.
Freshly baked bread, colourful salads, fresh fruits, nourishing microgreens grown on our counter, homemade kombucha, and all the traditional recipes you want to try from the hands of a local. Our retreats offer a morning snack, brunch & dinner while tea, coffee, fruits and delicious leftovers are in abundance the whole day.
a glimpse of our days
Our days are based on flow. Imagine morning swims, open terraces, long sharing tables, homecooked meals from a knowledgeable mama, a shala washed in sun and thyme, hands sink in dough, clay, sand – an experience that is rooted in island traditions & soft living.
We tend to keep our mornings silent, our practice rigorous, our afternoons lazy & salty and our evenings sweet & restorative. A retreat life leaving you with a perceptive that endures.
Throughout the week, you will experience:
Breath-led morning walks
Classical Pilates sessions
Vinyasa, Yin, and restorative yoga practices
Sculpt and dynamic movement flows
Free-flow intuitive movement sessions
Nightly sound baths in nature
Journaling and reflection for self-connection
Shared meals and meaningful community time
