you’re here for a reason

THE EXPERIENCE

This October we are creating a sacred space in Mykonos, to come back together as a community.

We recognize that this year has pushed us all to our limits with stress and we are craving more human connection than ever before. As Sebastian Junger says in his book Tribe, “Modern society has perfected the art of making people not feel necessary. It's time for that to end.” We couldn’t agree more. We know how much you matter and we need you. Bring your laughter, your lived experience, your creative expression, and your practice to the breath-giving hillside of Greece. You don't have to do it alone, we are stronger together and you’re here for a reason.

We’re so excited to have Chelsey Korus back leading her second Mykonos retreat with us. After a long period of collective stress, her vibrant teaching and life philosophy is much needed.

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 Click for more images.

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.

yoga with chelsey korus

Chelsey will lead two yoga classes daily. You can expect sweat filled practices (Vinyasa Flow) that encourages deep listening, the release of stagnant energy, and a more expansive sense of self. Morning will be dedicated to yoga flows and meditation while in the afternoon there will be tailored workshops and journal prompts that will get you out into nature. The activities on this retreat are designed to help you establish practices you can take home and easily implement into your daily life.

Chelsey Korus is one of yoga’s foremost international teachers and thinkers. Her teaching and movement philosophy comes from her passion for life and the inspiration she finds from nature. She approaches life through the lens of constant learning and loves to share the wisdom she’s gathered along her journey in hopes of helping others become AWAKE.

* 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.

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.
