Petros, musician, yogi, life-artist is senior jivamukti yoga teacher and globally one of the most renown teachers & musicians on the yoga train.

Petro’s honest, funny and challenging teaching inspires to be fully aware in the present moment. So experience comes through intuition and not from a place of personal preference or dislikes. Returning to that place, where, independently from outer circumstance there always is peace: the pure light of the heart.

There are many obstacles, yoga gives us the possibility to free ourselves from. So our true nature remains no longer hidden. We really are free, wild, full of love and joy – without conditioning, without fear. He has great gratitude for all teachers, known and unknown, he had the honor to study with and is grateful to all circumstance that gives the chance to experience this feeling of unity, of non-separateness. To learn to accept the greatest of all teachers: life & nature.

Erhard loves the sound of music and silence and this is what he shares best.

As an experienced Tabla and dulcimer player he has co-hosted the Bhakti Jam Retreat for 15 years and his music is a true gift for all participants. Him playing live music during asana classes and Kirtan with Petros for sunset session is one portion of what makes this retreat so special.

She lived with indigenous tribes and shamans for 7 years, supporting their communities and studying with them. With the support of her elders, she conducts ceremonies from the Mayan, Aztec and Navajo traditions, as well as from the ancient Greek tradition of her land and ancestors. With other healers she founded the non-profit company ALBA – The Alchemy of Life and later she created the RHEA Temple – Ritual Healing Arts, for her personal work – a harmonious combination of all of the above but also as a community that supports various other healers and artists to share their work as well.
