Euphoria retreat x fykiada
LARUGA GLASER | 27 march - 1 April 2023 | PELOPONNESE
THE euphoria EXPERIENCE
Welcome to our signature Euphoria Retreat X Fykiada retreat with Laruga Glaser in the Peloponnese. This is one of our most exceptional retreats throughout the years that combines high quality teaching, an iconic 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 along with an immersive wellness experience. Laruga is one of the most senior Ashtanga teachers in the world with a Level 2 Certification and a charismatic teacher who shares her yogic knowledge and ethos on & off the mat. Together, we have created a tailored program that includes personalised treatments, aqua activities, a special Gong session, a Byzantine hammam therapy, and a series of mountain immersions to become one with nature.
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 self care.

yoga with laruga & euphoria experiences
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.
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. The afternoon classes will be workshops going deeper into the foundations of the Ashtanga yoga practice. By the end of the week, you will have a greater grounding in all aspects of Ashtanga and leave the retreat fully recharged. Practices are open to all levels.
Euphoria Retreat is a true gem hidden in one of the most enchanting settings in Greece, in the heart of the Peloponnese. Cradled by Mount Taygetus, Euphoria is quite literally, at-one with nature. The Five Elements are integrated into the architecture and design, with certain areas dedicated to particular elements and their related energies. The unparalleled well-being center of Euphoria with its impeccable food, treatments, and facilities create one of the world’s ultimate healthy get-aways.
FOOD AS MEDICINE
Euphoria’s approach to nutrition draws from Hippocrates famous quote ‘Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food’. The resort offers a scientifically proven healthy, Mediterranean diet based on balance and enjoyment. Its “Gaia” restaurant (inspired by the Greek word “earth”) serves pure, authentic food alive with the energy of the mineral-packed soil of the Peloponnese. Offering a blend of regionally inspired contemporary Greek and Mediterranean dishes, the emphasis is on simplicity, healthy living and full flavor.
