Yoga retreats & immersions

Our ashram offers the ideal simple environment for the yoga path to unfold. Throughout the year we host retreats and immersions — like Essence of Yoga, an 8-day / 7-night winter immersion with Panos Katsandris combining themed practice, pranayama, meditation, satsang and the study of the Bhagavad Gita — as well as family retreats that welcome parents and children together.

A retreat day

The day begins with yoga practice (asana and pranayama) and meditation in the shala. A vegetarian brunch with Mediterranean flavours follows, and the afternoon is devoted to philosophy, satsang and study. There is time for rest, journaling and nature walks — or the thermal baths of Thermopylae. Evening meditation, a shared dinner and an evening session close the day.

Accommodation is in cob houses and glamping-style tents. The facilities are simple and rustic, in the spirit of traditional ashram living.

Teacher trainings

Evergreen Yoga Studios also holds its 200-hour Yoga Alliance teacher training and its immersions here. Programmes, prices and bookings for trainings are on their website. The 2027 long-format training includes a 9-day immersion at the ashram.
