signature ASHTANGA RETREAT 2023

LARUGA GLASER | 9-14 may | Mykonos

THE EXPERIENCE

Welcome to our signature Ashtanga Retreat with Laruga Glaser in Mykonos. This has been one of our most popular retreats throughout the years that combines high quality teaching, a 5 star location and a well-tuned team of local hosts that cater to everyone's needs.

What's special about it is that participants enjoy a tailored teaching experience. Laruga shares her knowledge in all classes guiding students to their best potential. Laruga is one of the most senior Ashtanga teachers in the world with a Level 2 Certification and a charismatic teacher with vast yogic knowledge and ethos off & beyond the mat.

Whoever has attended a retreat with us knows how important it is to have the right amount of fun and quietness when retreating. Our 5 star resort offers the finest luxury experience along with a great culture of discretion and relaxation. And yes, the most breathtaking shala views! Regardless where you’re at the Ashtanga series, this is a retreat to better understand and enrich your practice while offering to yourself the precious gift of selfcare.

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 laruga

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. Guests are split into two groups of beginners and intermediate students so they can enjoy a more targeted guidance from Laruga. Beginners are becoming familiar with the specifics of the Primary series, while intermediate and more advanced students are expertly guided 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.

Laruga Glaser is an advanced level practitioner and student of yoga as well as a Level 2 Certified Teacher, bringing with her a combined total over 25 years experience instructing body movement. Laruga teaches as an act of deep sharing and love for what yoga develops in each individual.

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.
