Revelation Retreat in Greece with Katy Appleton & Debbie Lewis

Join Katy Appleton and Debbie Lewis for a week of revelation and inspiration! Merging the worlds of appleyoga and functional medicine this will be the week you return home not just rested and restored - but with new long term, sustainable health habits.

We want to inspire you, teach you and give you the step-by-step guide to understanding your own unique biology and physiology. You will leave the week with a new understanding of your body and mind so you can make educated choices for yourself through a new lens of knowledge.

Okreblue Eco Yoga Retreat sits on the seaside of Santa Maria on the tranquil peninsula of Paros Island, Greece. The surrounding elements, especially the Earth and Water, are the soul of Okreblue. The closeness to nature in its rawness and purity creates deeply nourishing conditions for healing, rejuvenation and self reflection.

This is not just a yoga retreat. Yes there will be brilliant and easy to learn physical practices (suitable for all bodies and levels of experience) but we are also weaving in daily talks about the biology of the body answering questions such as “What is the best diet for me?” “What’s wrong with my hormones?” “Why do I feel so tired?” “What is inflammation?” The yoga classes will be supporting the new information you’re acquiring and making sure you have a way to apply your insights.

Combining more than 50 years of experience Katy and Debbie are passionate about sharing the knowledge they have gained. With lots of space for practice and questions, this week will give you a map to understand the puzzles of your body – so you can start on the path to becoming your own expert
