Retreat at the sacread mountain
Our retreat takes place in wonderland...
Pelion mountain is located in central Greece
According to Greek mythology the Olympian Gods rightfully made Pelion their summer retreat place
Spirituality
Pelion is not just a majestic mountain. It’s a spiritual, sacred place since ancient times.The Olympian Gods rightfully made Pelion their summer retreat. Homeland to the wise Centaur Chiron and to Asclepius, Pelion with its thousand species of herbs and medicinal plants, springs, and caves was a place of enlightenment, inspiration and healing. In the 11th century AD, the spiritual power of the mountain attracted Christian hermits seeking isolation and peace. Today, visitors feel the spirituality all over the mountain. They have the oportunity to visit the old monasteries, collect their own herbs, explore the caves of the Centaurs, go horseback riding, and immerse themselves in the primeval forest.
Majestic Scenery
There is something majestic about the Pelion scenery. Much of its appeal is due to its sheer variety. Visitors can find anything from thick oak forests to vast olive groves some of which on fields so steep it makes you wonder how the owners harvest the olives when the time comes each year. Long, deep gorges emerging from rocky barren landscapes ultimately find their way to the sea. There are several beautiful mountains in Greece, but only one mountain is surrounded by the sea in such a special way. A tranquil and calm bay on one side, a rough and choppy sea on the other. The exotic beaches around the mountain are simply amazing. Whatever season you visit Pelion, you will be amazed by its beauty...

Philosophy of the training
Short message from the Teacher: "A sādhaka (yoga student) is a person who has the intention to experience life though the Self. As a result, purification happens and the True nature, unconditional Love is revealed."
The studies are based on the following pillars:
✅ Yogic tradition
The teachings are revived from ancient, classical and selected modern scriptures. Educational material is provided and the students acquire all necessary tools for their own spiritual development.
✅ Know Thyself
The ultimate Knowledge is the Self. As a result of this realization, life is spontaneous. The person lives as Presence and not as a limited individual.
✅ The Art of Teaching
Although it's not the intention of all students to teach, experience shows that leaning though teaching can be used as another tool for spiritual development. It includes planning, analysis, observation and extensive practice. As a result students will be capable to teach with comfort and self-confidence.
Eligibility & Suitability
Yoga is a precious gift to humanity. People of all temperaments, “levels”, fitness and ability are welcomed to join the training. People with "disabilities" are also welcome. At whatever stage you are on your journey, this teacher training will bring new levels of knowledge and self-understanding. The studies will be a wonderful journey for those who are seeking authentic yogic knowledge. At the same moment it will be challenging. Prepare yourself to reconsider your point of view regarding the path of Yoga, as you go deeper and deeper.
