AWAKEN A HAPPY BODY & MIND

Marsha Jaworski & aSHLIE Robbie | 30 Sep - 5 OCT | Mykonos

THE EXPERIENCE

Welcome to our Yoga Therapy Retreat with Marsha and Ashlie in Mykonos. We are so excited that the expertise of these therapeutic teachers has been transformed into a retreat with us. You can expect high quality teaching, a 5 star location and a well-tuned team of local hosts that cater to everyone's needs.

We are endlessly trying to move from feeling ache, restless and burnt-out to feeling rejuvenated, calm and strong. In our Awake Retreat you will develop a deep understanding of how your daily patterns contribute to body stiffness and how to utilize a therapeutic yoga practice to optimize your health, both physical and mental.

Our body, mind, emotion and nervous system is one inter-related network that responds to our environment and lived experience. Gain tools to become more aware of this interaction and how to manage your stress response to promote longevity and vitality in your body and mind. Start feeling better now and keep feeling better 20 years from now!

OUR LUXURY YOGA resort

Our 5* Mykonos resort is a quiet luxury gem (part of the Design Hotels) firmly rooted in the spirit and style of its setting. The essence of Cycladic architecture and self-care transcends the entire place, from its pure white forms to the warm wooden details and its long sea-gazing 360 pool.

This 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 staff 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.

yoga with marsha & ashlie

The yoga classes will be a balanced blend of morning energizing flow and anatomical Hatha afternoon workshops. Each energizing morning flow practice will focus on incorporating the theme from the anatomical hatha practice the evening prior. You will gain confidence in your strength through a full range of motion in these dynamic flow classes.

The afternoon classes will be workshops going deeper into different parts of our body, the diaphragm, the hips, the pelvic floor, etc. Each workshop will be an exploration of the anatomy and function of each part to help you understand and bring awareness to how you live your everyday life in your body.

Their Reconnect to Yourself Masterclass will be a mindful yoga practice that promotes meaningful connection with yourself and others - experience yoga through the lens of polyvagal theory and use breath as a direct communication with the nervous system.

* All practices are open to all levels from beginners to more advanced yogis.

Marsha’s teaching centers around the belief that education is empowering, movement is therapeutic and a mindfulness practice connects us with ourselves and others. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology which informs her biopsychosocial approach to working with people and her yoga classes are influenced by her background as an osteopath and massage therapist. Based in Ontario, Canada, Marsha has experience teaching anatomy and physiology at a college level both locally and internationally. For over a decade, Marsha has been supporting people in healing themselves through yoga.

Ashlie found yoga as a way to heal from a sports rotator cuff injury. Through her practice and healing journey, Ashlie teaches about the inherent wisdom of the body, how to listen to the messages of the body and to respond in compassion and support. After receiving her 500hr yoga certification in India in 2010 she went on to pursue barre training, restorative training, SUP yoga, corrective core exercise certification and most notably, Yoga Therapy Training C-IAYT (800hrs). She has also been involved in teaching yoga in a research study for pain and osteoarthritis at McMaster University, based in Ontario, Canada. Ashlie uses her different trainings as tools to educate and empower her students and clients to correct imbalances, holding patterns and compensations so they can feel strong and full of vitality.

a fine 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 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.
