Jivamukti & Bhakti Yoga Retreat with Céline Ryf in Crete 2026

SOUL SADHANA

A Jivamukti & Bhkati Yoga Retreat with Céline Ryf

assisted by Anya Zahner

Triopetra (Crete)

from June 13. – 20. 2026

„We are stars wrapped in skin. The light you are seeking has always been within“ (Rumi)

Soul sadhana means to move the body, calm the mind, but most importantly nourish the soul! A week to deeply immerse yourself in spiritual practice while connecting to the elements of nature, enjoying yummy vegetarian food and the company of kindred spirits. Each day begins with chanting, intention setting, meditation and breathing, followed by a Jivamukti yoga practice. Afternoons are free to relax, swim or explore. Evening practices are more calm with a focus on restoring energy and releasing tension or chanting mantras while watching the sun set. As the days get longer and the outer light shines brighter, we are reminded of that inner light that all yogic practices are supporting us to uncover.

Daily Schedule*:

Before morning practice self-serve tea, coffee and fruit

8-11am Meditation, mantra, connecting with the breath, Jivamukti practice

(Sun 14^th class starts at 8.30 (due to late arrivals of some participants)

All about the Retreat

THE PLACE:

Nowadays, there are still a few places on earth that insistently deny to follow the stream of the modern civilisation and remain oases for those who seek for something different.
Triopetra is one of those places where time seems to have stopped!

You get to experience the archaic landscape, pure nature, the almost everpresent sun, etesian winds, the chirping of the cicadas and the soft, swooshing sound of the ocean.

This place of refuge is located on the south coast of Crete. The best Season lies between April and October where the highest Temperatures are reached between June and September.

The beach is just a few steps away from the Kretashala “Pavlos’ Place” and the guests can enjoy miles of unspoiled and deserted beaches, with turquoise, crystal-clear water in which you can swim and snorkel.
One is surrounded by Nature in its purest form that invites you to explore the healing powers of it.

The area around Triopetra is free from bars or noisy night life, which means that tranquility and quietness are guaranteed!

THE ACCOMMODATION:

Pavlos Place is located at the eastern Triopetra Beach. It is a modest Guesthouse with a family atmosphere and very comfortable rooms with its own bathroom, shower, mosquito nets, small fridge, air conditioning and screen doors.

All the rooms have a balcony with a view over the Libyan sea.
