Which Included

In

Who is Bruno?

Bruno Teyssandier has been teaching yoga for 25 years, guided by his core belief: to care for the body while staying inspired to explore and challenge it. “The body is an incredible tool, and I want my students to know how much they can do with it.”

For Bruno, inspiration is at the heart of his practice. He remains a dedicated student, constantly learning, and has never felt a moment in the past 26 years when he wasn’t eager to study.

 

 

Who is Rosa?

Rosa has been teaching yoga internationally since 2012. She was trained by Jason Crandell, Annie Carpenter, and others. As a psychologist and a medical student, Rosa is interested in the clinical tools that yoga offers. She currently researches at the intersection of psychological trauma and yoga at Meduni Vienna.

When she’s not studying, teaching, or practicing herself, she’s probably looking for her keys (which seem to disappear in her apartment every day) or dancing at a club in Berlin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I come to the retreat if I have not practiced with you or your co-teacher before?

Though my instruction is geared toward more regular practitioners, partner retreats are open to all.  The yoga program is always only an invitation and designed to support the ultimate goal of the retreat:  to create a space where you can connect with yourself and your energies.

If you would like to familiarise yourself more with my teaching or that of my partners, you can join us in person in Vienna or find online classes via my website. 

How do I get to the centers?

Landhotel Yspertal: If you are not driving, it is best to take the ÖBB to Ybbs an der Donau. From the train station, buses 780 and 781 go to Yspertal every day. (For the exact times, please enter “Ybbs an der Donau Bahnhof” as the departure point and “Ysper Marktplatz” as the destination in the timetable of the Ostregion transport association.) The journey time is 30 minutes. 

Levinthos Retreat Center:  The journey to southern Crete begins with a flight into Heraklion (HER). From there, you must take a taxi for approx. 120 minutes to the south side of the island.  I am happy to organise this for you, and advise you on when to arrive in order to share the car with others.

What kind of food can I expect?

Landhotel Yspertal: You can expect excellent brunch and dinner buffets, featuring a variety of vegetarian and meat options. Everything is 100% organic and sourced locally whenever possible.  Apart from coffees and teas, drinks can be ordered a la Karte.  Fruits are availalbe through the days, and some sort of sweet is available in the afternoon.

Levinthos Retreat Center:  You can expect excellent Greek/Kretean cuisine made with fresh, local ingredients that has a home-cooked feel. The breakfast buffet includes eggs, breads, cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables, cakes, muesli / porridge, as well as various spreads.  During the day and evening food can also be ordered a la carte from the cafe’s regular menu.  While the majority of the food is vegetarian, the kitchen is happy to prepare meat and fish in accordance with the preferences of the group.

Infos about food allergies / dietary restrictions

Both centers can accommodate all dietary restrictions.

What are the outdoor / freetime options?

Yspertal: Several walking paths can be reached from the center, and many more can be accessed with a short drive. The Ysperklamm is particularly beautiful. For those more interested in relaxation, the nearby Hallenbad boasts excellent sauna facilities.

Crete: Aside from swimming and sunbathing, there are opportunities to hike along the shoreline to Trafoulas Beach and to the top of the Lion’s Head, as well as boulder on and jump from rocks and cliffs.  The village of Lentas is about a 10 minute walk along a shoreline path. There, you can buy food stuffs and beach essentials at the two small markets, withdraw cash at the ATM or try any of the 10 or so restaurants.  A sandy beach with free lounge chairs and calm waters awaits you.

How much do I need to interact with the group?

Outside of the shared meals and sessions, there is no pressure to engage the group.  Between the your room, the centers, the surrounding nature, and various options, there is plenty of space to do your own thing.
