2008 Yoga Retreat Registration

Rusty Wells is a San Francisco-based, world-traveled teacher of Bhakti Flow, a form of yoga wrapped in love and devotion. His teaching philosophy is based on the idea that through the practice of yoga, we can actually reduce suffering in this world, and at the heart of the individual yoga practice is the discovery of universal oneness. He has been inspired by many wonderful teachers including Shri Dharma Mittra, Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Swami Sivananda, and pretty much everyone he gets to meet. Rusty, and his unique, challenging, vibrant style of yoga, has been featured in numerous publications, including Yoga Journal, Yogi Times, 7X7, Breathe Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, Bay Guardian, and San Francisco Magazine, among others.

 Rusty is a fully accredited, Yoga Alliance-certified teacher, and leads public classes, workshops, retreats and teacher training programs around the world. He is the producer of  the Bhakti Urban Flow Video and Audio home practice series and the founder of  Bhakti Flow Teacher Training

 A flow class with Rusty is a journey in itself.  Powerful and dynamic, it is a high intensity athletic workout, in which you to shed not only sweat and toxins but other things that weigh you down in life.  Emotions flow, mental obstacles rise and fall, as the heart of compassion opens.  You step away feeling peculiarly lighter, stronger, and clearer. You are on your yoga path.

This summer we are taking a Yoga journey to Crete, the center of Europe's most ancient civilization. It is often referred to as the 'cradle' of European civilization, whose history, people and settings is as breathtaking as it is mystical.
In a quiet site of this popular island, we found a luxury hotel to host Rusty's retreat in 2008.  Elounda is the most famous cosmopolitan location not only in the island of Crete but also in the entire Aegean Sea much acclaimed for its outstanding establishments in a magnificent natural environment. For these reasons, its Elounda's fine hotels proudly belong to the exclusive category of the Luxury Hotels of the World.

2008 Yoga Retreat Registration

Vivi Letsou,

a native of Greece has been practicing and teaching yoga for over 20 years in California before moving back to Athens in 2004 to open NYSY Yoga Studio with her husband.  Her teaching style is lively and compassionate; with each class she likes to lead the students on a journey that is fun, empowering, and enlightening.  Inspired by her beloved zen meditation teacher Reb Anderson, she focuses on the meditative aspect of our physical practice.

Anusara has helped her to find what she was looking for in Yoga: the balance between the physical practice and the spiritual quest, and she owes much to her yoga partner and good friend Todd Tesen for introducing her to their teacher John Friend.  In the last two decades she also practiced and taught Tri Yoga, Ashtanga, and Bhakti Flow and feels great gratitude for all her teachers.  In California she worked for many years as a director and film producer—surviving only thanks to yoga and zen meditation.

Todd Tesen,

an enthusiastic and passionate certified Anusara teacher coming from Los Angeles Ca. He began his intensive Yoga practice 15 years ago with Ashtanga Yoga and then found Anusara Yoga in 2001. Upon this discovery, he has studied extensively with Anusara founder John Friend, and Dr Douglas Brooks, who is amongst the leading scholars of the Hindu Rajanaka philosophy. Through their guidance, he has become an excellent example that anything is possible. Having taught nationally in the USA and in Mexico, he has also traversed Europe, teaching in the UK, Germany, Spain and Greece. His teaching is playful and uplifting, creating a sound support where the student can ask of themselves what is truly possible and how deeply they wish to know themselves.

Todd creates a sacred space for his students to risk, to play, to discover their full empowerment. He  has taught work shops in Athens and is also displayed in the Greek Yoga World magazine Issue May June 2007.
