About this Retreat
Movement is life for Shiva Rea, M.A, global prana vinyasa teacher, activist, and innovator in the evolution of vinyasa yoga around the world from large-scale festivals and conferences to unplugged retreats. She has taught thousands of students, teachers, and movers and shakers how to integrate yoga as a way of life.
As founder of Prana Vinyasa & Samudra Global School for Living Yoga, she integrates the roots of vinyasa, yoga, ayurveda, and tantra in creative and life-transforming online courses, workshops, retreats, and trainings. Her studies in the Krishnamacharya lineage, kalarippayatu, world dance, yogic arts, and somatic movement infuse her approach to living yoga and embodying the flow.
Shiva has collaborated across many fields and is known for offering the synthesis form of Vinyasa Flow throughout the world, bringing the roots of yoga alive for modern practitioners in creative, dynamic, and life-transforming ways for over 25 years around the globe.
She is a pioneer in reviving the art of namaskar through diverse namaskars or salutations as well as developing wave-sequencing, three-part vinyasa to teaching alignment in the flow, energetic alignment, multi-dimensional sequencing, mandala circular wave-sequencing, rasa prana vinyasa, and integrating the creative, spontaneous movement known as “sahaja” in post-modern yoga.
Since 2000, Shiva has created and offered over 27 award-winning DVD-CD’s for home practice as well as served as an ambassador for prAna, Banyan Botanicals, and the catalyst for Yoga Energy Activism and the Global Mala Project which has raised awareness and funds for local and global climate change. She is a contributor/featured author in media from Origin, Mantra, Yoga Journal Magazine, and featured in the LA Times, Vanity Fair, and Self. Her latest book, Tending the Heart Fire – Living in Flow with the Pulse of Life is about living vinyasa, our energetic heart, and our energy future.
She has led free-form movement in festivals from Wanderlust, Chant 4 Change, Yoga Journal Live, Yogini Conferences, Bhakti Fest, Lightening in a Bottle, Barcelona Yoga Festival, Earthdance, Beloved, Bali Spirit Festival, TEDx, Tadasana Festival, and Burning Man. Shiva has collaborated with many DJ’s, artists and musicians to bring the art and healing power of music into the flow of yoga live and through the compilation and original music for yoga as a moving meditation for everybody.

Delphi Mountain Pilgrimage June 24-26 Sunset to Sunset
Sunset June 24-Sunset June 26
Enjoy our summer Prana Flow yoga and movement immersions as we create a “sacred shala” in the ancient mountains of Delphi overlooking the sea. We honor this sacred place of the “dolphins” (Delfini), also known as the “the navel of the world”.
We will listen to the power of nature within and in the sacred temples, holy springs, ancient fire, and invigorating prana- bathed in the ancient space of Delphi.
Our immersion includes eight hours of (morning and late-afternoon/evening) movement meditation, sacred study and pilgrimage within Delphi and the ancient pathways down to the sea where pilgrims from around the world came to walk through the same. Millions of olive trees to the sacred Castilia Springs and some of the oldest shrines to the Great Mother, Gaia from there the pathways continue to the forest where the Maenades or earliest female dance tradition in Greece.
In this mythic landscape, we will have a summer base in which to explore Delphi in safe, outdoor, meditation explorations. We will provide the hub and curation of daily Yogadventures and nourishment and you can choose the accommodation and Greek feasting that suits your rhythm and budget. One delicious meal a-day will be be shared (sometime in picnic form as we roam) and is included as most hotels in Delphi offer generous breakfasts.
All are free to be in our open circle offering of yoga, prana flow movement meditation and free-form movement in the mountains, on pilgrimage trails, meadows, mountain peaks, forests and ruins of some of the earliest movement meditation forms.
