Sun, Sea, and Serenity: A Summer Yoga Retreat Inspired by Yama and Niyama
When: 26.07. - 02.08.
With over 40 years of combined teaching experience, senior Jivamukti teachers Gabriela Bozic and Emma Henry will guide you through a transformative week designed to empower, educate, and inspire. This retreat will leave you feeling strong yet relaxed, reconnected to your heart and equipped with tools to carry the ethics of yoga into your daily life, helping you face everyday challenges with joy, kindness and purpose.
At the heart of this retreat lies the wisdom of Patanjali’s Yama and Niyama—the ethical principles and guidelines for self-conduct that form the foundation of yoga. These timeless teachings offer guidance for cultivating harmony within ourselves and with others, allowing us to navigate life’s everyday challenges with greater clarity, joy, and purpose. Together, we will explore how these principles can calm the fluctuations of the mind (chitta vrittis) and bring peace and intention into modern life.
Our morning sessions will combine flowing movement, mindful alignment, and breathwork to build strength, vitality, and focus. In the evenings, we will turn inward with practices designed to restore and rejuvenate: gentle yin yoga, restorative postures, pranayama, and guided meditation will help you relax deeply and integrate the day’s experiences.
Beyond the mat, journaling and group sharing will create a space for self-reflection and connection with others, allowing you to explore how the teachings of Yama and Niyama resonate with your personal journey. Whether it’s through stillness, movement, or meaningful dialogue, you’ll have opportunities to nurture yourself on every level.
During your free time, soak up the Mediterranean sun, swim in crystal-clear waters, or enjoy the simple pleasure of being present in Crete’s stunning natural environment. Join us for a week of yoga, reflection, and relaxation
