YogaOnCrete

La meilleure chose, c’était la qualité de l’enseignent. Eugenia est exigeante, patiente et bienveillante. Les explications sont claires et pertinentes. Elle écoute les apprenants et sait répondre avec tact, douceur et pertinence. Le Iyengar a son meilleur!

The vibe. The food. The group. Feeling nurtured. The accommodation in a lovely old Cretan house.

Die Lehrerin, die Organisatoren und deren aorganisation und Hilfe, der Ort, das Essen im Yoga Haus, das Yoga Haus an sich, die gmeinsamen Abende waren schön. Und zu guter letzt bin ich natürlich begeistert vom Iyengar Yoga selbst.

A beautiful retreat with lovely people and staff.

Eugenia is a fantastic teacher who introduced me to the practice of iyengar. I enjoyed every session and understand why so many of the fellow students have been back several times !

I didn’t get to stay in the main house but it looked beautiful and beautiful story behind it.

I recommend greatly this retreat !

Ein wunderschöner Ort mit ganz wunderbaren Leuten. YogaOnCrete ist ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis. Ich komme wieder. Vielen Dank an alle, die meine Woche in Sfakia bereichert haben. Love&Light Rebecca

La qualité de l enseignement,le professionnalisme et la bienveillance de l enseignante

The teacher Evgenia is very knowledgeable in Iyengar yoga. She helped me a great deal. The food, cooked by Maria and crew, was absolutely delicious. The local food was also a delight. Enjoyed spending the week with great company. Book early for best choice of accommodation.

Amazing food, great like minded people, and a new way to experience and understand yoga. Highly recommend.

The ambiance, beautiful design of the house, the views of the sea and mountains, being able to hear the sounds of nature while practicing, the olive trees around the yoga deck, the amazing food quality, the people I’ve met, the time we shared together and the time I took for myself …

The list gets very long :) Last but not least I am most grateful for our teacher (Constantinos) whose teaching was above my expectations. He believes in what he does and does it very well :) I loved his sincere approach, his wisdom and great humour.

The Iyengar yoga of Kristina - she was able to manage a class of people with different levels of practice ( by giving everyone the right attention). Not only the yoga of Kristina is technically amazing - but her warm, positive, feminine energy does make all the difference by making the practice extremely pleasant.

The accomodation of Eleana and art ( extremely good).

The organization of Eugenia and Nikos ( this young couple leading the yoga in Crete in Sfakia positively impacting the life in the local village)

The amazing food of Maria ( all vegetarian - differences in diet regime were accounted for)

The ground where yoga is being practiced ( with an amazing view on the mountain).

Sehr gute Lehrerin, tolles Essen, freundliche Leute

This place is very special. Everything about it supports feeling very rejuvenated by the end! Antonella was an excellent teacher providing detailed lessons that support much deeper understanding of the poses. The food was absolutely outstanding Maria cooks delicious Greek food that leaves you feeling very content and happy! Nikos and Eugenia were very attentive and excellent hosts. The house is beautiful and a calm peaceful place to be. I would love to return!

I thought it was a lovely experience in every way

Overall very good experience.

This was my first retreat ever and it blew my mind. I felt very welcomed from Eugenia, Nikos and Maria from the very first day. I felt at home and it was very easy to get to know the other participants in this relaxing enviroment. I loved the village, the house and the view. It will forever stay with me as a beautiful memory. Constantinos is a really unique and intelligent teacher who noticed everybodys needs and was very helpful. I learned a lot about yoga and being mindful in a completley new way that i haven't experienced before. I am very thankful to this whole experience.

Le lieu est magique, authentique. Nikos qui organise est très présent et attentif à chaque chose.

Là professeur de yoga très pédagogue.

La nourriture formidable et des activités sont proposées en plus du stage de yoga.

The accommodation and location were spectacular. Tiny beach within walking distance was quiet and peaceful for afternoon swims and switching off between yoga practices.

The yoga was really informative and has enhanced my practice. I hadn't done Iyengar yoga previously and so had to learn the very basics

Everything

This was my first yoga retreat experience and what an absolute blessing it was! From the time of signing up for it Eugenia was in touch with me giving valuable information on how to arrive in Chora Sfakion. Hotel information. Foot paths to arrive at the yoga house. Everything was well organised and so kindly informed.

The yoga experience was absolutely amazing! Constantinos, our instructor really paid so much attention to the needs of the class and took us through a series of stretches and bends and balances all the while giving us so much information about what they do to our bodies and how important they are to our bodies. We all felt change. We all felt there was so much space created within our bodies. We all felt well educated about how Iyengar yoga works to heal our ailments within our bodies. Constantinos is passionate about educating his students about what he has learned and was always willing to help. He is dead funny, too. Which made the experience even better.

The group I was with truly cared for each other. We looked after and took care of each other and made lifelong friendships.

All in all it is an unforgettable experience for me.

warm and welcoming. Personal approach to tailor our needs outside of the yoga practice. Excursions to various beaches. The beaches! The village great restaurants. Our close proximity to town. The hosts knowledge of the areA and history. The views!

All of it

Superb location, inspiring yoga classes, delicious food, friendly atmosphere, great hosts...everything was perfect!!

Thanks to Constantinos for sharing his knowledge and thanks to Eugenia, Nikos and Maria for making us feel like at home :)

I will come back for sure!

It has been a beautiful experience and I would definitely recommend this yoga retreat. The group was great and the teacher, vibe and location were very special. I’m already counting down the days for a reunion.

Thanks for the great experience!

The teachers are really good teachers, they know what they are doing. They are also very kind, are there for you, are loving, caring. The food is just delicious! I was there at the right place, at the right time with the right people. The retreat was exactly what I needed.

evgwnia and nikos organize a great framework where kindness allows you to feel at home.

the food is difficult to beat and chora's beaches are great.

good availability of hotels are excellent quality price relation.

iyengar yoga classes weere excellent with antonella. wiah my practice would have started like this years ago!!

I had a great time at Yoga on Crete. I never tried yoga Iyengar before and Antonella, our teacher, made me appreciate it, thanks to her patience, and pedagogigal skills. I liked also the drawing session we had. The location is really amazing, and the food excellent. Thank you Maria :) Thanks also to Eugenia et Nikos for your hospitality. Hope to see you again in another retreat! R.

I joined the women’s retreat in Crete, and can highly recommend it. The teachers are incredible, and the classes are really good. Location is beautiful, and the food is really good. The town is also nice, and there is a beach nearby.

Seren calmness

Wonderful food

Friendlyness a warms

Die Zeit war fantastisch! Eugenia hat mir im Yoga sehr weiter geholfen. Sie nimmt sich die Zeit und geht auf die Bedürfnisse ein. Sie hat mir die Übungen exakt gezeigt. Ich habe das Yoga neu entdeckt.

Da wir nur 2 Teilnehmerinnen waren haben sie das Programm angepasst. Wir hatten Frauenzirkel in welcher wie auf den Menstruationszyklus eingegangen sind. Zusätzlich wurde der Zyklus mit Yogaübungen unterstützt.

Die Unterkunft war super schön, toll gelegen und ruhig.

Jullie und Eugenia sind zwei super Frauen. Ich kann Yogaoncrete nur empfehlen!

Every aspect of the retreat was a 5 plus star experience. The house, the food, the yoga, the location it was a complete experience that I will cherish forever and will return yearly for these retreats gurantee!!!

Das Haus mit seinem authentischen Ausbau und der perfekten Lage ist ein Juwel. Eugenia, Julie, Maria und Nikos kreieren mit ihrer wunderbaren Art wie sie auf Menschen zugehen eine warme und einladende Atmosphäre. Ich habe mich rundum wohl gefühlt. Das Programm mit dem Meditieren und dem Yoga am Morgen und dem Zirkel am Abend war ausgewogen, reich am Inhalten, liess aber auch Zeit, zum Verarbeiten und für eigene Unternehmungen.

On se sent comme en famille, il y a une atmosphère très agréable, la nourriture est excellente.

La proximité de la plage.

Le studio est très bien équipé, la formation est très sérieuse et s'adapte en fonction du groupe, tout le monde se sent inclus quelque soit l'expérience.

Retreat was in a gorgeous Cretan house, lots of flowers and plants, sweet and inviting dining area/kitchen, plus the outside yoga deck is great for classes. Very relaxed and peaceful atmosphere.

Dion is a kind and sweet person, as well as being a dedicated and fun teacher. Maria is a wonderful lady with exceptional cooking skills.

Einfach alles !!!!!

Everything

Frederica is a beautiful human being.

The teacher was extraordinary, and we were fortunate to have a lovely group of participants. our hostess Eugenia was attentive to all our needs.

Konstantinos, Eugenia und Maria sind ein tolles Team, das eine herzliche, vertrauensvolle Atmosphäre geschaffen hat, auch der schöne Garten von Eugenias Haus und das leckere Essen von Maria haben dazu beigetragen; tolle, internationale Gruppe; Profi mit Tiefgang als Lehrer

The place, is beautiful and out of confusion. Eugenia the owner of the house, has warmly welcomed everybody and organized many activities. Kristina the teacher is professional and passionate. The food was great. Everybody was positively inspirate to create a magic atmosphere of friendship.

the effort that the retreat’s owner and the instructor put to create a group in the time out of yoga class without obligation but with the option to be part of it . it gave the idea to be with friends and family even if we have never met before .

The warm, fun and safe space Julie created and the way everybody took this opportunity to truly connect to others. If you need a time to take care of yourself, start some changes and stop hiding from what you are, this retreat could be exactly what you need.

Une semaine de respect, d'amour, d'humanité, de beauté... Merci Julie pour ta douceur et merci Eugenia de partager avec nous ta merveilleuse demeure !

My daughter had the most amazing, life changing experience at this retreat!

Thank you all for making it happen!

Le cadre idyllique

Les ateliers qui permettent une réelle prise de recul sur soi.

L'accueil, les hôtes, l'authenticité du lieu/résidence, le cadre, le calme, les cours de yoga à l'extérieur, la saison (mai), les magnifiques balades et la variété de la cuisine.

Fantastic week with brilliant and clear instruction from Eugenia. Was wonderful having the sessions underneath the olive trees outside. Food was delicious and nutritious. There's enough to keep you occupied in the area for a week and the yoga is not too strenuous to prevent you from wanting to explore in your free time. Am seriously considering booking for next year already.

It is with immense joy that I recommend Yoga on Crete. Eugenia and Federica were exceptional instructors and took us on a wonderful journey of discovery. The retreat was expertly designed with plenty of free time to rest or enjoy the many wonderful beaches nearby and Eugenia was delightfully accommodating with all my requests. Having two expert teachers for a small group of 14 gave us unprecedented individual attention during the class. Maria's food topped it all for me. It was plentiful and fabulous and mostly coming from her organic farm. Eugenia, Federica and Maria are such sunny and caring people that it was impossible not to feel at ease straight away. I also immensely enjoyed the company of the other participants who came from allover Europe. I will forever cherish the memory of the delightful yoga studio under the cool shade of the olive trees, with the sweet sounds of the countryside drifting through. A few words about the location: Sfakia is a lovely small town a bit away from the beaten path and because of this it was never too crowded even in the heart of summer. Also, while the whole of southern Europe was sweltering in a heat wave, we hardly ever went above 30 C. I consider myself lucky to have discovered Yoga on Crete and hope to be back again.

Beautiful location and very close to the town centre - whether you decide to stay in the yoga house or neighbouring hotel. Yoga is practised outside on a patio with all props (mats, blocks, belts etc.) provided and usage supervised by the instructors whilst the program itself is suitable for complete beginners in yoga practice. Daily schedule allows for a few hours on a beach or simple "me time" in between AM and PM sessions, with a day off to relax or explore Sfakia further. As Yoga on Crete runs various programs, expectations and results may vary - but I'm sure it will surprise you with something unexpected. Perfect choice for those not so fond of overpopulated mainstream resorts and buzzing nightlife.

Les cours de Kristina , le lieu, le site , les excursions, la nourriture et l'accueil sans oublier le groupe.

Fantastique

Beautiful accomodation.

Delicious food.

Amazing teacher.

Lovely beach.
