RETREAT WITH STEPHANIE IN OCTOBER 2023

qi medicine RETREAT | STEPHANIE NOSCO

20 - 25 oct 2023 | EUPHORIA RETREAT

THE EXPERIENCE

This retreat provides an opportunity for you to press the “pause” button on your life, for the purpose of reflection, restoration and renewal. Classes will combine the ancient methods of Qigong, active yoga, meditation, breath work to cleanse and invigorate your energetic system. Evening Yin yoga practices, and guided shamanic journey meditations, will help encourage a slowing down, and deep restoration. A perfect balance of “yin and yang”, this retreat will leave your body, heart and mind feeling refreshed, renewed and empowered.

A mindfully designed yoga & energy healing program will be accompanied by inspiring activities which reveal the other side of Mykonos. Expect a Myconian farm visit, an experiential trip at the sacred island of Delos, our favorite island spots and a 5 star accommodation in one of Mykonos’ finest resorts.

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.

Afternoon class. Evening classes will be a combination of breath work, meditation and yin yoga. Guided visualizations, story telling, poetry reading and self-inquiry will be included to encourage deeper reflection.

What is Qigong? —> Qigong is the oldest branch of Traditional Chinese Energy Medicine, dating back to over 5000 years. “Qi”, means energy, or life force, and “gong”, means skill, or mastery. Qigong, therefore helps us work with our energy skilfully in order to master our personal power and potential for healing. Sometimes called Chinese yoga, Qigong combines gentle movement, breath, and meditation to cultivate, balance and harmonize our energy.

* 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.
