ASHTANGA RETREAT | MYKONOS
LARUGA GLASER & DAVID FREDRIKSSON | 8-13 OCTOBER 2020

 


Ashtanga Yoga Retreat – Mykonos, Greece

Dates: 8 – 13 October 2020 Location: Fykiada Retreats Email: [email protected] Website: fykiada.com/laruga-glaser-ashtanga-retreat-mykonos-2020

 

THE EXPERIENCE

It’s an absolute honor to host for a 4th time in a row one of the most senior Ashtanga teachers in the world with a Level 2 Certification. What’s special about this retreat is the fact that our guests have an almost one to one teaching experience with Laruga & David tailored to their needs and level of practice. Both teachers are present in the morning and afternoon sessions guiding a small group of practitioners to their best potential. Regardless where you’re at the Ashtanga series, this is a retreat to deepen, better understand and enrich your practice.

Alongside the yoga schedule, you’ll have the chance to enjoy your stay at one of the most boutique locations in Mykonos, featuring an award winning restaurant, an infinity pool, a covered sea-gazing shala and spacious Cycladic-style rooms with a sea-view to the Aegean. To top that, we have prepared a series of cultural and outdoor activities to get a real taste of Mykonos.

“A tailored Ashtanga practice, a fine stay & a true taste of Myconian culture”

OUR LUXURY YOGA RESORT

Our Mykonos resort is the absolute ‘let go’ place awarded for excellence for four consecutive times by TripAdvisor. From the very moment you set foot on the hotel, the warmth of the stuff and the simplicity of the design invite you to leave everything behind and just let yourself be…

The excellent central location of the resort offers full autonomy to its guests as it’s just a 10min walk away from a beautiful sandy beach and 15min ride from Mykonos town. You can either use the resort’s shuttle bus or get one of our eco-bikes. Click for more info and room photos.

 

YOGA WITH LARUGA & DAVID

The yoga classes will be a balanced blend of Mysore practice and Ashtanga specific workshops. Mornings will be dedicated to sitting in silence as well as chanting, to then commence the Mysore practice. David will be overseeing the beginners, adjusting and going through the Primary series, while Laruga will be guiding intermediate and more advanced students throughout their practice.

The afternoon classes will be workshops going deeper into the foundations of the Ashtanga yoga practice. In between practices Laruga will lead a yoga philosophy session followed by group discussion. By the end of the week, you will have a greater grounding in all aspects of Ashtanga and leave the retreat recharged & maintaining the gift of yoga. * All practices are open to all levels from beginners to more advanced yogis. | Maximum number of guests: 20

A GOURMET TASTE OF GREECE

We’ve created a bespoke food experience with the resort’s team to deliver the best of Greek nature at your plate in the most creative way. The hotel’s Award Winning breakfast is a pandemonium of island goodness served in the most sophisticated set up. A special vegetarian / vegan section has been created specifically for our retreats where you can enjoy a delicious variety of non-dairy and gluten free options.

The highlight of this culinary journey is a tailor-made dinner experience. The chef is one of the most acclaimed Greek chefs and has created a special blend of Greek style sharing plates and one fine-dining three course fish dinner just for Fykiada Retreats.
