80. 80th Anniversary Yoga Retreat in the “Caribbean of Greece,” Sivota, May 2024

Yoga Retreat Sivota

Moments from a special yoga retreat in the “Caribbean of Greece,” Sivota. I returned here for my second retreat in the same location since 2016. Our practices took place in a studio right by the sea, nestled in greenery, overlooking the lush Greek “fjords.” At the dawn of summer, we dedicated ourselves to the 4th energy center, the Heart Chakra (Anahata chakra). We can now see the beauty in life. We can admire the majesty of nature hidden even in the simplest things. We are constantly moved by the images that magically unfold around us, from the sunrise to the elderly couple walking hand in hand.

The Anahata chakra invites us to constantly study ourselves and to calm our selfish motives and feelings, so that—finally free—we can come into true contact with all beings.

We had the opportunity to explore the area by boat, visiting Bella Vraka and the “Pisina”
