About Our Yoga Retreat
At Light Love and Yoga, we believe in the power of traditional yoga practices and teachings. And in the power of radical rest.
At our yoga retreats in Crete we take a holistic approach to wellbeing, focusing on the unity of mind, body and spirit.
Our programs are for you if you enjoy the daily physical yoga practice (Asana) and want to go beyond it. If you want to learn and explore more about the various other parts of traditional yoga. These include meditation, philosophy, mantra chanting and (self-) study.
Throughout your stay, you will have the opportunity to deepen your practice with daily traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and occasionally explore themed Vinyasa Flows. You will also be able to explore the calming effects of Yin Yoga and various meditation techniques. Choose your stay from 6 nights days to a month depending on your needs and availability.

The village exudes an irresistible charm with its narrow cobblestone streets, draped in vibrant bougainvillaea, leading to an azure shoreline.
