Yoga retreats in Crete, Greece
“Our bodies and souls were fed in the villa, and this will never be forgotten even in a thousand years.”
— Cretan mantinada (traditional couplet), shared by our past guest Evi
We invite you to step away from the noise and find a quieter rhythm of practice. In the seaside village of Chora Sfakion, in southern Crete, our retreats offer a calm and supportive space, mostly rooted in the Iyengar tradition, with a focus on structure, alignment, and attentive teaching.

The essence of YogaOnCrete
Four simple pillars that shape the experience — presence, connection, and conscious living.
Feeling at home
We believe in a home with a soul – a space of handcrafted details, traditional Cretan style, and quiet corners that invite you to settle in and feel welcome and at ease from the very first moment.
Joyful eating
We believe in the beauty of unhurried moments. Shared meals, honest conversations that foster true connections, and the space for observing what is truly nourishing for your body, mind and soul.
Yoga
We see yoga as a practice of awareness and connection. Rooted in Iyengar yoga, our approach emphasizes attentive movement, breath, and alignment.
Holistic lifestyle
We believe in the wisdom of the land. Drawing from the simplicity of local produce and the stillness of the rugged landscape, you are invited to find your own natural pace.
