Accommodation
Facilities
- Garden
Levinthos Retreat Center consists of eco-friendly apartments that are carved into the earth, bearing the lowest possible visual and environmental footprint. The cave houses maximize the authentic relationship between the house user and the landscape. In addition, there are four first-floor studios that offer a breathtaking view of the Libyan sea.
Filoxenia Lentas
Filoxenia Lentas is built in an idyllic position, with a fabulous view of the sea. Both buildings are surrounded by a lovely garden area that is very spacious and has many great views. It is definitely ideal for families, couples, and those who desire to escape from the routine of everyday life.
All the rooms have been nicely decorated and comfortably furnished. They all have a great balcony, which is furnished with chairs and a table and has spectacular views stretching out to the sea.
Right in front of the apartments, there is a path that leads to a magical small beach with blue waters, where you can enjoy relaxation and swimming.
Program
This training is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the foundational practices of yoga. All levels of practitioners are welcome. Whether you see yourself as a beginner or advanced in your practice, you still have something to learn.
This 100-hour yoga training is ideal for those who have limited time, those who want to improve and refresh their practice, or those who are not yet sure if they want to become yoga teachers.
If you are interested in deepening your practice while learning more about the path of yoga but cannot commit to three and a half weeks, then this is the course for you.
This is an intensive yoga instructor training where you will learn a lot, challenge yourself, and deepen your asana practice and yoga philosophy knowledge, with an emphasis on alignment as you explore the yoga lifestyle in depth.
The training will be held in Levinthos, which is known for its spirituality, calmness, beautiful beach, tasty Greek cuisine, and slow way of life, making the place perfect for you to immerse yourself in the practice near the Libyan Sea and nature.
If at any point you would like to upgrade your 100-hour certificate to a 200-hour yoga teacher training certificate, you can extend your stay (pending availability) or return and complete another 100-hour course at a later date.
Please note, a 200-hour yoga training certification is the minimum number of hours required to become a registered yoga teacher. In other words, this certification is not a qualification to teach yoga. This comes with the next 200-hour yoga teacher training.
A high level of willpower and self-discipline is required during the course as it is physically, mentally, and spiritually demanding, though highly rewarding nevertheless. It is very important that the participants have physical and mental health.

- Develop a strong foundation by learning the correct alignment for the most common yoga postures

Location
The course will take place in Gortyn, Crete, Greece. The south of Crete is a hidden gem and Levinthos at Lentas has been building a name for 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 one hour and 10 minutes, approximately.
The road passes through many traditional villages on the island of Crete, the plain of Messara, and the fascinating rocky mountain range of Asterousia. 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.
