Yoga Retreat in Cyprus with Rescue Puppies
Small-group yoga holidays in Peyia, Paphos — with sea views, vegetarian meals and foster puppies.
Your Time to Slow Down — Their Chance to Start Again
Step away from your everyday routine and settle into life at our villa in Peyia, near Paphos. Our three-night and six-night yoga retreats bring together daily yoga, accommodation, vegetarian brunch and dinner, and free time to enjoy Cyprus at your own pace. Come on your own or with someone close to you, share meals with a small group and leave room for quiet moments, too.
You’ll also meet the rescue puppies we foster in partnership with local animal welfare organisations. They live with us while they wait for their forever families, receiving everyday care and opportunities to build confidence around people. Your retreat stay helps fund this work — making their next chapter part of your holiday.

A few days away or a little longer to settle in? Both retreats combine yoga, accommodation at our villa in Peyia, vegetarian meals and time with our foster puppies. Choose the stay that fits your plans.
A Short Escape: 4 Days, 3 Nights
Make room for yourself, even when you only have a few days. Step into a different rhythm with yoga, shared meals and puppy companionship, with free time to relax at the villa or explore the surrounding area. A shorter stay lets you include a retreat in your Cyprus holiday or come just for the experience.

Stay a Little Longer: 7 Days, 6 Nights
Give yourself time to unpack, settle in and enjoy the rhythm of retreat life. With six nights at the villa, you have more space for your yoga practice, getting to know the group and spending time with our foster puppies. Enjoy unhurried afternoons, explore Cyprus or leave your free time unplanned.
Includes six nights of accommodation, daily yoga, vegetarian brunch and dinner. See the package overview for room options and full details.
EXPLORE THE 6-NIGHT RETREATA Day at Your Yoga Retreat
A little structure, with room to breathe. Your days at our villa in Peyia bring together yoga, shared meals and free time, so you can enjoy both the company of the group and moments to yourself.
Morning: Yoga & Brunch
Start the morning with Vinyasa yoga, exploring movement and breath before sitting down to a vegetarian brunch. It’s a chance to enjoy a leisurely meal, chat with the group and decide how you would like to spend the hours ahead.
Afternoon: Time for Yourself
Read by the pool, relax on the terrace or head out to explore the Paphos area. There is space for conversation and time with our foster puppies, as well as quiet moments on your own. Your afternoon doesn’t need to become another to-do list.
Evening: Slow Down & Connect
Return to the mat for a slower practice, with Yin, Restorative or Hatha yoga depending on the programme. On a walking evening, we head outside instead. A shared vegetarian dinner brings everyone together again before the day draws to a close.
This is an example of our retreat rhythm, rather than a fixed timetable for every day. Our foster puppies join selected yoga sessions; other classes give you space to focus on your practice. Your programme depends on your chosen retreat.
Is This Retreat Right for You?
Perhaps you’re looking for a little breathing space, a holiday with someone you love or the chance to meet new people. If you enjoy yoga, small groups and the company of dogs, you may feel at home here.
Come Solo, Find Connection
Travelling alone doesn’t mean spending your whole holiday on your own. Shared meals and yoga classes give you natural opportunities to get to know the group. Between sessions, take time for yourself or make plans with other guests.
Share a Different Kind of Holiday
Bring a friend or your partner and make time for each other away from everyday routines. Enjoy yoga, leisurely meals and afternoons exploring Cyprus, with room for your own interests and quiet moments along the way.
Feel at Home Around Dogs
Our foster puppies are part of daily life, bringing playful moments and a little unpredictability. This retreat suits people who enjoy being around dogs and appreciate that growing puppies are still learning. You’ll be sharing their temporary home.
You don’t need to arrive feeling flexible, confident or perfectly relaxed. If you have questions about your yoga experience, travelling alone or individual needs, get in touch with Ines before booking. We can talk through the programme and help you decide whether this is the right setting for you.
A Holiday for You. A New Beginning for Them.
Our retreat is also a foster home for rescue puppies in Cyprus. Working with local animal welfare organisations, we care for puppies while they wait for families of their own. Your stay helps us continue this everyday work.
A Home Between Homes
Each puppy arrives with a different story and personality. Some are curious from the start; others need more time to feel comfortable. During their stay with us, they receive daily care and experience life in a home while their adoption is arranged through the rescue organisation.
Small Moments of Trust
Getting to know our puppies is part of sharing their temporary home. You may notice a shy puppy becoming more curious or a playful one settling down nearby. We encourage guests to let the puppies set the pace, giving them space when they want to rest or step away.
Your Stay Helps Support Their Care
Our retreats and local puppy events help fund the work of fostering. You can enjoy your holiday knowing that your booking contributes to the care of the puppies who share this home with us. There is no expectation to adopt a dog or take on a volunteer role.
The puppies you meet will depend on who is in our care during your visit. As some leave for their forever homes and others arrive, the group changes. Every stay is a glimpse into a different part of their journey.
Meet Ines, Your Host & the Founder
Hi, I’m Ines, the founder and your host at Puppy Yoga Retreat. My greatest passion is caring for rescue puppies and helping them towards a better life. I created this retreat to bring that work together with a welcoming place for people to enjoy yoga, take a break and spend time with dogs.
The puppies are at the heart of my everyday life. Getting to know their personalities, helping them grow in confidence and seeing them find families of their own is what makes this work so meaningful to me. As a guest, you get to share a little of that journey.
As your host, I’m here to welcome you, help you settle in and answer your questions about life at the retreat. I want you to feel comfortable sharing our home, whether you arrive on your own or with someone close to you.
Yoga is an important part of the experience. I’m a trained yoga teacher myself, and classes may be led by me or by other passionate yoga teachers who bring their own experience and approach to the practice. The teacher leading your sessions may vary depending on your retreat dates.
