I loved everything about my

I loved everything about my yoga-retreat with Ritu! She is a passionate and very dedicated yoga-teacher, who explains well the postures and helps you to get deeper into your practice. Her yoga has nothing to do with the instagram-commercial yoga that one finds all too often, but it is pure and authentic. Ritu is very professional and brings her heart and love into her teaching. I recommend her without any hesitation. Samothraki is a wonderful island, far from the beaten tracks and a paradise for nature-lovers.

A very caring and inspiring

A very caring and inspiring teacher who showed real passion and humility in her teaching! All students received hand outs which I found useful as a refresh!

Would love to support a future retreat and highly recommend Ritu!

Ritu is a very good

Ritu is a very good instructor with a vast knowledge of yoga practice and philosophy. She was explaining all the asanas with great detail and always corrected or suggested an alternative when a pose was too difficult. She was also very helpful in other aspects of my trip to Samothraki. When I couldn’t get to the island due to problems with the ferry company she was there to help me and we finally made something good out of a bad situation! I definitely recommend her!

Ritu is an absolutely excellent

Ritu is an absolutely excellent teacher and has a really wonderful energy. She combines a patient and conscientious attitude with an informality that kept us fully engaged throughout the daily classes. She gave a lot of personal tuition which meant I saw my practice evolve throughout the course of just one week. I continue to return to her advice in my group classes now. Ritu’s guidance on mediation and the philosophy of yoga was also incredibly helpful in our approach to class.

Ritu and Kyriakos are warm and generous hosts. They took good care of all their guests and arranged everything possible to help us experience the most of Samothraki. The retreat was everything I hoped for. Samothraki is a special place and I would recommend this to anyone looking to experience an authentic version of Greek island life.

Hi, my name is Evi Kostara, I’m Greek and I’m a breast cancer patient stage four. I’ve been doing sports for many years but now at 69 and having cancer I used to believe I’m done. Ritu introduced me to yoga two months ago and the experience was both comforting and encouraging. I am slowly getting my strength back (lost by chimo) I started doing exercise again but most important my psychology is quite different. I have started taking control of myself and I feel composed and relaxed. For us cancer patients things can change very fast and the future is like the drawing the lottery but life is still out there so give it a go and start exercising. You will discover tranquillity, peace and self control plus comforting and pain management. …
So fellow patients dont’  let cancer rob you of your courage and your dignity. Exercise for the sake both of your body and your mind!
