I enjoyed the yoga retreat on Serifos with Tania so much! She pushes her students to go further (but never too much) and gives very useful adjustments and tips. Altogether I can highly recommend going on a retreat with Tania!
I really enjoyed the interaction with the participants from all over the world and the afternoon workshops which were individually adapted to the group. I would like to come back again and again!

Joining the Serifos retreat was the best decision! Tania’s teaching, the hotel, the island, the group vibe, the food, it all was outstanding and everything was well organised. This retreat offers a combination of a whole lot of good stuff. A bliss!
Practicing in Greece was amazing! You wont regret going on her retreats.
Tania's approach to yoga feels so honest and passionate! There was beauty and warmth in every detail.

Amazing retreat! Tania’s teachings are of high quality and she knows how to transmit her passion from the heart. I can highly recommend studying with Tania and joining her retreats.
The retreat exceeded all my expectations. The week with Tania helped a lot to learn the basics about asana but also philosophy.
I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to deepen their practice. It was a great mix of classes (Led and Mysore) and workshops/discussions.
I absolutely loved the retreat with Tania in Serifos. She lives and loves Yoga and manages to pass her passion on to her students. Can not recommend a retreat with her enough.
Tania‘s retreat in Serifos was an exceptional experience on every level. The yoga practice was amazing, intense in the best way and I have really felt taken care of in my practice. It was a 10/10 holiday.
Beautiful retreat! Amazing surroundings, delicious food and great hotel. And last but not least: Excellent practice of Asthanga Yoga with Tania. She has a lot of experience and tips to help you deepen your practice and integrate it into your life. Totally recommendable.
Thank you Tania for this magic week on this magic island! It was the second time with you, and again i met new friends, deepened my practice and came back with new energy. I can just highly recommend this retreat in this beautiful place!
Meet your Teacher: Tania Kemou
Hi, I’m Tania and I’ve been practicing Ashtanga yoga for over a decade. This practice and especially my yearly travels to Mysore (the birthplace of Ashtanga) have changed my life and how I view the world. Now I want to share with you all the insights and blessings this practice and my teacher in India gave me.
This retreat is the opportunity for you to explore all aspects of Ashtanga Yoga, deepen your practice, gain new perspectives and draw inspiration. I want you to feel empowered and strong by learning how to use yoga to improve your health, life and relationships.
In my retreats I meet students where they are. Beginners and more experienced practitioners can coexist and profit from personalised instructions catered to their needs. If you are a beginner, after this retreat you will have the knowledge and tools necessary to start building a self practice. If you are already experienced I will help you consolidate, reach further, get unstuck and realise how much more you are capable of.
Every time I leave India, both my heart and mind are full. My goal is for you to leave this retreat the same way.
A journey of personal growth and at the same time an opportunity to escape, explore and evolve, this retreat is for all those who are seeking “something more”.
