Freediving and YOga Retreat on amorgos island
why You'll Love this retreat
Professional instructors guide you through your freediving experience. With us, you’ll improve your skills whether you’re a beginner or an advanced diver.
Enjoy amazing conditions in the crystal-clear waters of Amorgos, made famous by the film “The Big Blue.” It’s one of the best freediving spots in the world.
Start every day with an energizing asana practice, fitting the theme of the day and preparing your body for the upcoming diving session.
Relax in the evening with a calm asana session, breathing session, or meditation. Just the right thing before hitting the hey and getting a good night’s sleep.
Enjoy a top-class culinary experience with Mediterranean cuisine, renowned as one of the healthiest diets in the world. You’ll be amazed at how these simple and delicious meals provide everything you need to feel strong and healthy for yoga and diving.
Amorgos is a culturally rich island that you’ll fall in love with, guaranteed. Its beauty lies in the classic cycladic landscapes, comparable to Naxos and Santorini, but without the overcrowded flow of tourists.
Amorgos Diving Center
Established in 2007, on the beach of Aegiali Bay, Amorgos Diving Center is THE place to learn Scuba & Freediving!
Amorgos, a Mediterranean paradise chosen among all the islands of the Cyclades by the filmmaker Luc Besson for the shooting of his masterpiece, The Big Blue.
Deep Flow Retreats
We found that the two practices support each other perfectly. They are meditative in their own right and help you retreat from everyday life. We want to bring the inner calm and focus that results from that to as many people as possible, since we enjoy it so much.
Not to mention spending one week on the most beautiful island in Greece, Amorgos, surrounded by likeminded people. What could be better than a week filled with calm, joy, and adventure?!
Akupara Yoga
This online studio is about the resting, calm power directed inwards just as much as towards those around us. Steadfast and yet moving, slow but unshakable, protective and supportive.
In this retreat, away from external distractions, we foster a deep sense of awareness and inner peace, create tranquility within ourselves before we come “back out,” and carry this serenity into the group and then the world.
Alex (Freediving Instructor)
Since I was a child, I explored the underwater world, finding joy in every dive. It’s a pleasure to teach and share my passion for freediving. With Corfu Freediving, I am fortunate to call this my profession, and with Deep Flow, this lifestyle goes even deeper. It’s no secret that yoga perfectly complements freediving, enhancing breath control and mental focus.
When I visited Amorgos for the first time I fell in love with it! Both on the surface and underwater it is an absolutely unique place.
Thats why I decided to host the Deep Flow Yoga & Freediving Retreat here. To share this amazing surrounding with you!
Amrei (Yoga teacher)
I have been teaching Ashtanga Yoga in all forms an variations for nearly 8 years and I can honestly say that it gives me so much to share the joy of this moving meditation and philosophy with my yogis.
I have learned the hard way that I have to listen to my body very carefully, so that I have energy for all the movement endeavours and life challenges to come. This knowledge is the core of each and every lesson I give.
I discovered that freediving is a wonderful addition to my yoga practices so I am here to make your freediving experience even better.

Frequently Asked Questions
We love introducing the world of freediving to beginners. Whether you’re new or experienced, our retreats offer valuable lessons about the powerful connection between breath, body, and water. Everyone is welcome, regardless of skill level. Plus, you can enroll in a beginner course and earn your SSI or AIDA freediving certification.
Absolutely! We carefully monitor energy levels because freediving can be surprisingly exhausting. Most retreat days start with morning yoga followed by 2-3 hours of freedive practice and training. Afternoons and evenings are dedicated to breathing training, meditation, yoga, and personalized coaching to give you the active recovery you need. Aside from that you have time to yourself each day between sessions and in the evening.
In the middle of the week, we give you a “dry day” to rest and recover, explore the island, or join optional activities if you have the energy. Amorgos has a lot to offer, and we want you to experience its beauty. Consider a guided hike up the mountains through the stunning village of Lagada, or simply relax and enjoy the serene surroundings.
We encourage you to immerse yourself in the journey. Freediving just as Meditation & Yoga is unique in that having rigid expectations are counterproductive. We emphasize a balanced approach, combining action, training, and letting go. This means working hard in a constructive way that prioritizes learning and personal growth.
If you do need something to aim for, focus on mastering techniques that will benefit you in many areas of life, accepting the pace of your individual progress, and connecting with a community of fellow water enthusiasts and yogis.
Absolutely! We are committed to accommodating all dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, and those with allergies or intolerances. Askas’ chefs use fresh, local ingredients to prepare delicious and nutritious meals that cater to your specific needs. Please let us know your dietary requirements in advance, and we’ll ensure you have a variety of options to enjoy throughout your stay. Don’t fear, we have high standards ourselves! 😉
The morning yoga sessions are here to wake you up and give you energy for the day. There will be days with very active sessions and those that are a little slower, depending on the freediving plans for the day.
The evening sessions will encompass recovery for the body and tools that will help you in freediving, such as little philosophical gems to take with you, guided meditations, restorative asana practices, pranayama (breath control), or breathing training for freediving.
You will take a wide array of tools home to support your further freediving journey and your personal growth.
