Back to Basics: Return to What Matters
This exclusive June edition brings you back to the core of Fitness and Embodiment — a deeply focused, intimate experience guided entirely by Alex & Yorgos. Evolved from the powerful transformations seen in their private and small-group work, this retreat refines their programme into its purest form: presence, connection, strength, and growth. Move, express, and transform through a journey that integrates physical training, embodied awareness, and authentic communication. This is your space to reconnect with your body, your voice, and your inner clarity.
