Program
Through participation in this program, you will experience personal and spiritual growth expansion on all levels, and you will explore a more personalized therapeutic practice and approach.
Perfect for beginners and intermediate yogis, the 200-hour training will teach you the ins and outs of teaching Vinyasa, Hatha, and Restorative yoga classes, as well as guided meditation. Even if one does not wish to be a yoga teacher, one may attempt this course for a deeper understanding of the philosophies as well as for the intense purification experience and for the all-round development of the personality.
With a small class size of approximately 10-12 other students, you can expect to be part of a very attentive yoga teacher training that stays true to its motto, “Everything is possible,“ and embraces people of all body types, ages, and backgrounds.
A typical curriculum also includes a deep dive into asanas, hands-on assistance, differences in anatomy, pranayama techniques, physiology, methodology, mantras, philosophy, and the business of yoga. Led by Angelos Ananda, a highly experienced yoga teacher and healer who's been practicing since 2006 and leading retreats and workshops around the world for the past 10 years, the sessions that are offered are not just the tenets of teaching yoga to the community, but also a way for you to embrace and cultivate your own practice and life.
In this yoga teacher training course, you will follow the traditional Vinyasa - Hatha yoga that keeps on focusing on the following point: ‘’Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self,’’ as it is written in the Bhagavad Gita.
This course is not just a training program, but can also be a life-changing experience. A high level of willpower and self-discipline is required during the course as it is physically, mentally, and spiritually demanding, as well as highly rewarding. It is also very important that the participants have physical and mental health.

Retreat location
The course will take place in Lentas, Crete, Greece. Levinthos in the south of Crete is a hidden gem and has been building a name itself, especially in the international yoga community. Lentas is just 75 kilometers away from Heraklion City in South Crete. The distance can be covered by car in approximately one hour and 10 minutes, approximately.
The road passes through many traditional villages on the island of Crete. The village of Lentas has many traditional taverns and cafes, where you can taste famous Cretan food and enjoy your coffee or drink exactly next to the Libyan Sea.
The region is optimal for an undisturbed stay away from the hectic pace of city life and combines relaxation with physical activity, such as swimming in the crystal clear waters of the sea or walking along the verdant trekking routes of the area.
The place has preserved its natural beauty due to the fact that there are many underground antiquities. The climate of Lentas is mildly hot and dry, allowing visitors to have a swim in most of the of the year. The bay is well-protected against the wind and the waters are always crystal clear.
