Our Invitation for You
Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, PhD, said in his book, “The Secret of the Yoga Sutra” that a human being is an island of Excellence. In this retreat we will remember our own inner excellence, as we rediscover our deeper human qualities, and inner potential for excellence. Through an embodied yoga practice, we come to accept and thrive in our own body and spirit, recognize and overcome obstacles, fears and doubts, and let our inner truer voice and stance blossom through our lives.

Retreat Program Description
A journey of transformation, that starts with the body with ASANA both dynamic and restorative-therapeutic practice, Uplifts the heart with elevating Tantric Philosophy, and guides us to stillness with Zen Meditation…
Let this vacation be not just a mere vacation but a total life transformation. Are you ready to feel good all over again? To feel powerful, healthy, alive, and open to fall in love with every moment in life, every being, and especially the most intimate one inside you?
Our potential for energy, creativity, and well-being is limitless. Yet, our daily stress and self-imposed limitations are constricting this natural flow of energy. When was the last time we felt fresh, happy, and alive, just like we did when we were children?
During this retreat in the heavenly healing embrace of nature in Mani you will be asked to move daily, walk, exercise, and meditate, and work with energetic kriyas, to remove blocks in our nervous system. You will swim and eat good food. And you will be asked to look at life and yourself with fresh eyes. Reconsider some things, overcome blocks and shadows. Write your own script for the New Chapter of your Life. Be Empowered, Renewed, and Re-energized!
When you are ready for Positive Change, your life will Change Positively!

A visionary and activist for positive change, Vivi loves to share the way of Yoga and Zen, two paths she has sought to combine for over 20 years, while a filmmaker in California. She returned to Greece in 2004 with a strong impetus to join and create enlightened communities.
Through her journey of teaching Yoga and practicing Zen, Vivi has been able to find a way of Practice & Action that makes us strong on all levels and helps us to triumph even in challenging circumstances. Amidst the Greek economic crisis, Vivi and her beloved husband, Eraj, have managed to create successfully: NYSY Academy for Yoga and Pilates, and Avocado Vegetarian Café—two bright centers in the heart of Athens fostering community and a compassionate/healthy lifestyle. Recently they completed another life long dream, building Zen Rocks, a stunningly beautiful retreat center in Mani/Southern Greece, dedicated to re-building human potential through the healing practices of Zen, Yoga, Meditation, Pilates, Exercise, meaningful nutrition, and restorative living.

On the path of yoga, Vivi is a strong and charismatic Yoga Teacher and Teachers’ Educator. She has trained well over 200 yoga teachers. Having taught in the traditions of Ashtanga, Anusara, and Vinyasa Yoga, Vivi has created Abhaya Yoga—a style that combines dynamic alignment-based asana, with the empowering philosophy of Tantra and Buddhist ideal of compassion for all beings.
