MYSORE & PRANAYAMA RETREAT IN TERTSA, SOUTH CRETE

– LIMITED TO 16 PRACTITIONERS – (last spots!)
JUNE 7-14TH 2026
Embodied Ashtanga | Pranayama | Meditation | Buddha Dharma
Bhāvana: The Path of Cultivation
Kia weaves an embodied approach to Aṣṭāṅga Yoga with classical Prānāyāma (Kaivalyadham-lineage), Buddhist Mindfulness Meditation and Compassion Practices. Being a devoted practitioner in Yogic and Buddhist traditions she draws heavily from both streams of wisdom. During the retreat we immerse into these somatic teachings as vehicles of insight, inviting us to awaken our heart through the wisdom of our body. We work from a non-dogmatic, inclusive and creative place, open for personal inquiry.
The retreat is open for all levels, but you need to have an established Mysore Style - self practice.

“Bhāvana or the Path of Cultivation, is not another self-improvement project that places our happiness in some unspecified future. These teachings point us directly to the resources available to us in this moment. We have all we need right here to take the next step, and see meaningful change.

Course Content
Mornings open with Mindfulness Meditation, cultivating deep awareness aligning body, breath, heart and mind. The retreat opens with a couple of guided Master Classes to expand our understanding of energetic movements, actions and principles of Āsana. You will be introduced to Kia’s unique Somatic Preparatory Sequences (Kāya Bhāvanā), offering a deeply beneficial and transformative approach to practice. These first sessions lay the ground for the Mysore practice to follow – offering fresh insight and space for your personal evolution, supported with individual guidance. With warmth and dedication, Kia creates an inclusive, inspiring space that invites both growth and inquiry.
Afternoons are dedicated to Prānāyāma in the lineage of Kaivalyadham alongside reflections on Buddha Dharma, Meditation, Satsang and essential Movement Principles of Yoga Āsana. These mindfully crafted sessions help develop transformative skills and embodied resources – offering new students a careful introduction to Prāṇāyāma, while guiding experienced practitioners to refine and deepen their understanding.
About Yoga Retreat in Tertsa (South Crete)
Nathalie & Kia, March 2022
Tertsa is a tiny village hidden in a beach-side valley on the island of Crete. It is a haven for those that seek true retreat from the fast paced modern world. Off the usual tourist trail, Tertsa’s lush valley and beachfront location offer the best of Crete; living in harmony with nature, generous hospitality, a slow paced lifestyle and the shining Mediterranean sea… Located on the Southeastern Coast of the island, the surrounding Dikti mountain range shelters the small valley from the cold North wind making Tertsa one of the warmest places in Greece.
Tertsa Retreat Center, created by devoted senior Ashtanga practitioner Nathalie Gesche – is a 5 minute walk from the village and the beach. A place created with mindfulness and care for nature. A place of healing, banana trees, sun, sea and peace…
