ASHTANGA RETREAT | MYKONOS

LARUGA GLASER & DAVID Fredriksson | 8-13 October 2020 | sold out

THE EXPERIENCE

It’s an absolute honor to be hosting for the 4th time in Mykonos 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, 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 outdoor activities for you to get a real taste of Mykonos.

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.

COVID-19 | Yoga & Safety: The yoga takes place in an outdoor covered yoga shala which is sunlight & easily aired and yoga mats will be placed within a two metres distance. Each guest will be provided with a Manduka yoga mat which they will keep for the duration of the retreat and be responsible for its cleaning. Adjustments will be offered only orally by the teacher.

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 way.

A special vegetarian / vegan a la carte brunch 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 just for Fykiada Retreats. His approach to Greek cuisine is modern, yet based on traditional recipes made with the best quality ingredients.

COVID-19 | Food & Safety: All meals will be served individually to our guests by the restaurant’s personnel, including breakfast that is converted to an a la carte menu instead of buffet to avoid crowded queuing. Our seating area has plenty of space to keep the 1m distance in between guests.
