Jivamukti Yoga Retreat with Céline Ryf in Crete
Everything in this universe vibrates. Vibration is sound or music. Yogic practices are designed to not only help us get a sound body, but to balance our nervous and energetic system, and calm our mind. If all of these are balanced, we feel in tune with ourselves and the world around us. As we become more aware of how energy moves in and around us, we can begin to consciously direct it towards the higher centers of consciousness, towards Yoga or a feeling of connection, of belonging and moving through life with purpose.
While deeply connected to nature and the elements in this sacred place, we will deepen our understanding of the different layers of our being and raise our vibrations through practices such as asana, pranayama, meditation, scripture and chanting.
Perfection of divinity is everyone’s duty. Don’t waste your time living for the vanities. Start living on a higher vibration (Ziggy Marley).
Approx. daily schedule:

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.
