About this Retreat
Your Guides
Welcome dear soul, my name is Dimitra Cerriku.
I spent much of my early school years daydreaming and contemplating deeper questions.
I believe that once we begin to ask ourselves fundamental questions like Who am I? Where have I come from? What am I meant to do here?—we've already embarked on the journey of self-inquiry. This inner exploration helps us discover our true nature and purpose in life.
Through my yoga practice and deep self-reflection, I’ve integrated these early musings into my teaching and sharing.
My yoga journey began during a challenging and dark phase of my life. However, from the moment I stepped on my mat, I felt a deep sense of homecoming. Yoga became a transformative tool, allowing me to heal, connect, and understand life in a profound way. It taught me that real happiness is cultivated from within.
After my first trip to India, I immersed myself even further—delving into spirituality, yoga philosophy, and Hinduism. I discovered that yoga is about paying attention. The connection between dhyāna (meditation) and āsana (postures) is a brilliant methodology. The physical practice of āsana trains the mind in concentration, preparing it for deeper meditation. This journey takes us from dark, limited levels of awareness to increasingly subtle levels of inner perception
I have been practicing yoga for over a decade, and my teaching style reflects the wisdom and depth gained through years of exploration and dedication. It has been shaped by traditional Hatha Yoga, the dynamic energy of Ashtanga, the spiritual and ethical grounding of Jivamukti, the creative flow of Vinyasa, and the alignment principles of Iyengar.
In addition, I incorporate sound healing and mantra chanting, offering a holistic and transformative experience that nurtures the connection between body, mind, and spirit. My approach weaves together alignment, flow, spirituality, and vibrational energy to create a practice that is both grounding and uplifting.
I teach from personal experience, with my daily practice serving as my most profound source of insight and inspiration.
