YogaWalks Healthcare

YogaWalks Healthcare offers travel services that combine breathwork, yoga, mindful walks, and exploration, creating a unique journey that nurtures both body and spirit.

Hi, I am Valerie, a French archaeologist, hiking guide, and yoga instructor who has called Crete home for 20 years. Captivated by the island's breathtaking nature, landscapes, geology, energy, as well as its rich history, culture, and traditions, my love for Crete remains as strong as ever. This deep connection is precisely what I seek to share with others. Blending my diverse expertise, I developed the concept of YogaWalks Healthcare, offering Mindful Walks (Walk Alive), Walk and Yoga excursions/retreats, and Indoor/Outdoor Yoga courses. My mission is to teach and share simple yet powerful tools to enhance daily life. By walking with me, you’ll discover how to merge the physical benefits of walking with the mindfulness and meditative practices of yoga. You’ll learn to connect deeply with yourself, improving your overall health and well-being. Additionally, my vast knowledge of Crete’s history, geology, flora, fauna, and traditions allows you to fully immerse yourself in the island’s wonders, creating an experience that is as enriching as it is transformative.

✨ Thank You for a Wonderful Summer Season! ✨

What a marvelous summer it has been — full of sunshine, connection, and beautiful moments shared together through our indoor and outdoor yoga sessions. 🌿🧘‍♀️

As the season turns, we’ll gently move back indoors.
🕉️ From November onward, yoga classes will take place every Wednesday, 9:30 – 11:00, at Tsivaras Old School.
We’ll continue with our Hatha Flow, cultivating strength, balance, and inner calm as we move into the quieter months.

Looking forward to seeing you on the mat and sharing this peaceful practice together. 💛

🌿✨ The Vibrant Walk ✨🌿

Imagine a walk that nourishes not only your body, but also your mind and soul…

🚶‍♀️ A Vibrant Walk takes you through breathtaking natural landscapes, where every step connects you with history, traditions, fauna, and flora.
🧘 Along the way, we pause for breathwork, yoga postures, and meditative exercises — to release stress and tension, ground ourselves, and open fully to the present moment.

Yoga, this ancient practice of harmony between body, mind, and spirit, invites us to reconnect with our true nature. And when it merges with mindful walking, something magical happens:
✨ Strength in the body
✨ Calm in the mind
✨ Balance in energy and emotions
✨ A deep connection with oneself and the world around

💫 Weekly Schedule
🌱 Monday – Aradena: The Path of Essence
🌊 Thursday – Akrotiri: The Mystical Path
🏡 Saturday – Apokoronas: The Villages Path

The Vibrant Walk is more than an excursion — it’s a transformative journey inward and outward. Each step becomes an invitation to slow down, to breathe, to feel alive. 🌸

💫 Open to all levels — no prior yoga experience needed

A new-born among our Vibrant Walk collection, especially designed for the hot summer months

The Vibrant Walk : the Traditional Villages Path

Every Saturday (or upon request)
Starting point: Douliana 8am

Get in touch for more details
We'll be happy to get you along

The Vibrant Walk : the Traditional Villages Path
The Apokoronas region is an area that stretches from the Cretan sea to the foothills of the White Mountains, and is dotted with traditional villages dated back to the Venitian period.
On the first hills near the sea, Douliana and Gavalochori are still beautifully reflecting this unique architecture and history—two charming villages where the easy going lifestyle invites to an enjoyable moment of calmness and serenity.
This Vibrant Walk can of course be experienced all year round, but is especially inspiring during the hot summer months: a walk starting early morning from Douliana to avoid the heat, reaching Gavalochori by the nice opening to the sea, taking a break to soak in local life at the traditional kafenio in the village square and then returning to Douliana through the forest as the day grows warmer. And of course, along the way, you’ll learn about history, nature and traditions, engage in simple yet powerful mindfulness exercises designed to help you ground and expand, bringing greater awareness to the moment, your surroundings and yourself —so you can enjoy this beautiful journey with full joy and serenity
