Tochni Retreat

Slow living yoga holiday

The Retreat

A Week of Yoga, Nature & Authentic Cyprus

Nestled in the hills of southern Cyprus, Tochni is a traditional stone village where life moves at a slower pace. Surrounded by nature and authentic village life, it’s the perfect setting to relax, recharge, and reconnect.

Spend a week in beautifully restored stone houses, with daily yoga, time to unwind by the pool, explore the island, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Throughout the week, guests are also invited to join optional guided excursions, where we’ll take you to some of our favourite beaches, villages, and hidden gems across Cyprus.

More than a yoga retreat, it’s a holiday with yoga at its heart. No experience is needed, just a week to slow down, restore your energy, and enjoy Cyprus at your own pace.

A Week in the Village

For one week, a small group of just 2 to 12 guests calls the traditional village of Tochni home, staying in beautifully restored stone apartments full of Cypriot character. Each day follows a relaxed rhythm, balancing yoga, free time, optional activities, and moments to simply enjoy village life.

Whether you spend your afternoon by the pool, strolling through the quiet streets, reading beneath the shade of a carob tree, or joining one of our optional excursions, the week is designed to give you the freedom to enjoy your holiday in your own way.

This retreat combines the wellbeing benefits of daily yoga with the flexibility of a relaxing Mediterranean holiday. There is a gentle structure to each day, but never any pressure. Yoga classes are welcoming and suitable for all levels, excursions are completely optional, and plenty of free time is built into the programme.

No previous yoga experience is required, and flexibility is not important. Simply come with an open mind and enjoy a week of movement, good food, authentic village life, and the slower pace of Cyprus.

The feeling your retreat can leave behind.

“This is much more than a yoga retreat. It feels like discovering the real Cyprus. Beautiful stone houses, a peaceful village, incredible local food and genuine hospitality made it one of the most relaxing holidays I’ve ever had.”

“The yoga classes were exceptional. Every session was thoughtfully adapted to the group, making beginners feel comfortable while still challenging experienced practitioners. The balance of energising morning classes and restorative evenings was perfect.”

“I loved that this wasn’t an all-day retreat. There was plenty of time to relax by the pool, visit nearby beaches, explore traditional villages or simply enjoy long Mediterranean meals. It truly felt like a holiday with yoga at its heart.”

“Everyone made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. The warmth of the hosts, the friendly team, the delicious food and the peaceful atmosphere created an experience that felt personal, authentic and unforgettable.”

The Place

Ancient Village Of Tochni

A village of roughly two hundred souls, set into a fold of hills ten minutes from the sea. Stone houses clustered around a single church. The kind of place you come to and find you’ve exhaled.
