spice up your life RETREAT

rina Jakubowicz | 4 - 9 Oct 2022 | mykonos

 

THE EXPERIENCE

From Miami to LA to Mykonos! Rina Jakubowicz is an international bilingual yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, motivational speaker, and author. Rina is known for her vibrant and uplifting approach to yoga and she will be leading a 5-star retreat on the mesmerising island of Mykonos for the first time. Expect a ‘spiced up’ yoga practice with floor to ceiling sea-views paired up with a nutritious Greek-inspired menu, and a good dose of Myconian culture & nature curated by your Greek hosts.

Rina will guide you through a reflective experience of external and internal observation to prepare you for her own style of invigorating Vinyasa Flow. This retreat will leave you feeling more confident and inspired to keep practicing long after you return home. The group’s number will be kept relatively small so that students can enjoy a more tailored guiding by Rina.

This is your opportunity to practice with a worldclass teacher and enjoy the subtle luxuries of our retreat while tuning into the eternal light of Cyclades.

Tune into your island spirit under Rina’s guidance

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.

COVID-19 | Cleaning & Safety: The hotel has acquired the “Health First” certification badge and abides by the official health protocols. All high risk areas will be daily cleaned and disinfected with a professional steam machine, as suggested by the guidelines. Room cleaning will be available on request in order to avoid daily interaction with housekeeping staff. Read more

Combining breath with movement, we will focus on developing the core from within; weaving philosophy and the physical together to ground ourselves in higher ideals and deeper into our bodies. You will learn to observe and better serve yourself and others without feeling depleted. Implementing these techniques you will feel uplifted, relaxed, ignited & ready to live your fullest life right now! Because after all, one’s fullest life is when one is serving.

* 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. 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.
