At True Nature, we believe in the magic of movement and the bliss of being. These are things that True Nature retreat leader Adriana Lee loves sharing with others. She’ll be sharing this and more at her upcoming August retreat in Greece. We had the opportunity to ask Adriana a few questions about the retreat and learn more about what it means to awaken in Amorgos.

Awakening in Amorgos: A Yoga Retreat in Greece with Adriana Lee
August 19-August 26
Join Adriana Lee on a week-long journey of discovery. Explore the beauty of Greece while diving deep into the depths of yourself. Leave behind your commitments, your schedule, your to-do lists, and all of the busy-ness of your daily life. Embark on a journey into your soul through your yoga practice, meditation, and allowing yourself to simply be.
This retreat will include daily yoga, meditation, plenty of sunshine, clear blue waters, renewal in the spa, and free time to explore the beauty and the culture of the Greek Island of Amorgos. Give yourself the gift of rejuvenation, self-discovery, and peace. Take these things with you off of the island and learn to hold this peace within you during the chaos of daily life.
Read our exclusive interview with Adriana below:
True Nature: How does the idea of “Awakening in Amorgos” play into your retreat? What themes do you see coming up throughout the journey?
Adriana: I chose the word awakening because I feel that through our yoga practice we wake up to our life’s purpose and to our own truth. I see a theme of self-discovery happening and a journey towards our true north.
True Nature: Who has been your greatest influence and why?
Adriana: I’ve had so many incredible teachers who have influenced me over the years. I would say my greatest influence has been Heba Saab. She taught me to teach from my own heart, to trust my intuition and my ability to see, and also to find my voice as a teacher. She showed me the importance of ceremony and the importance of fully stepping into the teacher role before each class. A lot of pre-class rituals I have were completely inspired by her. Her guidance has played a pivotal role in shaping the way that I teach.
True Nature: If there was a yoga pose or meditation practice that described you, what would it be and why?
Adriana: Child’s pose. I’m a bit of a dreamer, and for me child’s pose has this dreamy childlike quality to it. It’s a great reminder to not be so serious and so tough all of the time. It’s a sacred space where you can totally tune into your own internal awareness and tune out distractions.
True Nature: Other than yoga and meditation, what are some of your passions? Will these be explored in your retreat?
Adriana: Travel, hiking, and art are my three other passions, and yes we will absolutely explore these! I think traveling is the best thing that you can do for yourself. It opens your mind and your heart and connects you to the whole of humanity in a way that you just can’t connect living in your own little corner of the globe. My hometown is Las Vegas, and a lot of people don’t realize how much nature there is to explore outside of the city. Hiking was definitely always my favorite past time and I am beyond excited to get to hike and go adventuring in Amorgos! As for art, I feel expressing yourself through some creative outlet is truly the best medicine. So I think we’ll definitely explore a bit of that.
True Nature: What is on your “Greece bucket list” and what are you most excited about?
Adriana: Wow, I don’t even know where to begin! I love Greek food so I’m excited to eat! I know I want to do a boat tour and maybe see some caves. Hiking is also top on my list. I haven’t made any rock solid plans, though. I kind of just want to see where this takes me!
True Nature: Is there a saying or quote that really resonates with you and your upcoming retreat?
Adriana: “Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.” -Ray Bradbury
