CRETE RETREAT
EMBRACE YOUR JOURNEY
28. June - 5. July 2025
TRIOPETRA, GREECE
​​
THE RETREAT
Step into a week of deep practice and relaxation at my annual Ashtanga retreat in this paradise in Greece.
​
For those of you who’ve joined me in Crete before, you already know how special this place is. For those who haven’t, it’s hard to put into words. A place where nature’s beauty feels untouched—wide, empty beaches stretch for miles, wild rock formations rise against the horizon, and the sea sets the rhythm for the days. It’s quiet, raw, and offers the space to slow down and just be.
​
This is not just a yoga retreat—it’s an experience that connects the depth of practice with the simple joie de vivre of life by the sea.
​
Each morning begins with quiet breathwork, grounding us before moving into the Ashtanga Mysore session, suitable for all levels to meet you where you are. In the afternoons, we explore the core elements of practice: asana, bandha, pranayama, and the philosophy that ties it all together. There’s space for meditation, open discussions, and time to simply be.
​
​
What to look forward to:
-
A silent walk to Triopetra’s iconic stones to watch a breathtaking sunset.
-
Relaxing on a secluded beach, ideal for relaxing and sunbathing.
-
Discovering nearby villages and hidden beaches, far from the tourist crowds.
THE VENUE
​
Hosting this retreat at Pavlos’ Place in Triopetra has become a tradition, and it’s a magical experience every year. It’s a quiet, family-run haven with ocean views from every room, nourishing home-cooked meals, and a simple yoga shala that opens out to the sea.
Pavlos' Place is a quiet haven where nature's beauty is at the forefront. It's a few steps from a peaceful beach with crystal-clear waters, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or just soaking up the sun.
I keep the group small, allowing everyone to receive personal attention and make the most of the Mysore practice. It’s the perfect combination of holiday relaxation and yoga, in a place that feels like a true escape.
-
Ocean Views from Every Room: Wake up to the South Cretan Sea and the sound of waves from your private balcony.
-
Homegrown Meals: Simple, fresh vegan and vegetarian dishes, often made with ingredients straight from the family’s garden.
-
Yoga Shala: A wooden-floor space with views of the sea and sunsets—a quiet place for our daily practice.
