WELLNESS & BUSINESS RETREAT

5 days retreat, Mykonos

- June 5, 2022

In ancient Chinese philosophy Yin and Yang describe how seemingly opposite forces are connected and can help bring balance. This belief also applies to the practice of yoga!
Too much Yang activity can cause an imbalance on physical, emotional, and mental levels. While you never want to be completely Yin, true health and well-being come from the practice of balancing the Yin and the Yang, the passive and the active, the calming and the stimulating.

Enjoy the most rejuvenating, uplifting me time yoga retreat/5 days by the Aegean breeze at the most sophisticated Myconian setting!

All practices ARE OPEN TO ALL LEVELS yogis, with MAXIMUM 12 PERSONS

This retreat includes:

Kundalini

Kundalini is the greatness of which we are each capable. It is about the unfolding of our true nature.

Is the awakening of the unlimited potential that already exists in every human. It is the awakening of the self and thus Kundalini yoga is often referred to as the yoga of awareness. It is normal capacity that most of us are simply not utilizing – it is the goal of all yoga!

Yin

Slow paced yoga. A gateway to a way of life filled with more relaxation, greater mindfulness and less stress.

While other yoga styles might push you to strengthen and tone your body, Yin yoga invites you to be exactly as you are! Yin yoga focuses on stretching deeper connective tissues, such as ligaments, tendons and deep fascia(the tissue that surrounds muscles). This deeper connection is why Yin yoga is often called “YOGA OF THE JOINTS”

Pranayama

The first and last things we do in this physical lifetime are to take a breath. Along with oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, the breath contains prana, the life force.

Meditation

Meditation in Kundalini Yoga contains specific, practical tools that carefully and precisely support the mind and guide the body through the use of breath, mantra, mudra, and focus.

MANTRA

Mantras are not small things, mantras have power. They are the mind vibration in relationship to the Cosmos. The science of mantra is based on the knowledge that sound is a form of energy having structure, power, and a definite predictable effect on the chakras and the human psyche."
Yogi Bhajan

Sound and Vibratory Frequency

There is a vibratory frequency that corresponds to everything in the Universe. Happiness or sorrow, joy or regret are vibratory frequencies in the mind. When we chant a mantra we are choosing to invoke the positive power contained in those particular syllables. Whether it’s for prosperity, peace of mind, increasing intuition, or any other possible benefits inherent in mantras, simply by chanting them we are setting vibrations into motion that shall have an effect. It doesn’t actually matter if we understand the meaning of the sounds or not.

Chanting mantra produces specific vibratory frequency within the body. The sounds and thoughts produced by the body and mind radiate out from you. The vibratory frequency of a mantra draws to you whatever you are vibrating. You are like a magnet attracting vibrations to you by what you send out. As a vibration, a mood, a state of being that results from chanting, mantra is compatible with all belief systems.

In addition to the vibrations set in motion, something else happens when you chant. This is really important. There are eighty-four meridian points, or pressure points, in the roof of the mouth. Every time you speak, you stimulate them and their associated glands and organs—with the tongue. And every time you chant a mantra, you are tapping out a particular sequence, rhythm, and position that initiates a chemical reaction in the brain and body. It’s as if you have an electronic, computerized security system in your mouth. Punch in the right code on the upper palate and you gain entry to the brain and your inner chambers of higher consciousness!

Meet your Teacher

Martha

Hello,

I am Martha, a passionate yoga teacher and always a student!

My love at first sight is Kundalini yoga and it happened to me in the year of 2014, when i attended my 200hours yoga teacher training with Semperviva Yoga studios – best life experience ever – with my beloved and tremendous inspiring teacher GLORIA LATHAM (Global Master of Kundalini yoga)!

My journey in yoga started many years ago, attended classes, workshops, retreats and personal training at home!

At a critical point in my life I decided to be a part of 200hours Teacher Training to go inward and get in touch with myself (never ending healing process). I never thought to become a yoga teacher or owner of a yoga studio though, all came afterwards! Not long after graduating I opened a yoga studio called “Happy Yogi” that lasted for about 5 years because life changes in unexpected ways. So i changed direction…in organizing yoga retreats/yoga holidays, online lessons and workshops, inspiring people to give more life into their lives, go inward, uplift and calm the mind! All the previous years i have attended many workshops, retreats and teacher training in order to complete another 200hours diploma in Kundalini Teaching!

In the meantime I fell in love with Yin yoga too! For me it was the best combination (YIN & YANG) with the energetic practice of Kundalini yoga, to stretch my body and calm the mind with yin yoga, so i dedicated my practice and my training to yin yoga too… live in my studio and online Teacher Training too, to get the most of it!!

I will confess that yoga helped me to find balance in my life, to have a stronger mind and body and find peace and joy from the inside!!
“Sharing is Caring” so i would like to share my knowledge and experience after all these years, to make people feel better, love better, sleep better to find balance, inner peace and strength!

Get ready to move your body and connect to yourself.
Alone or with your beloved one come and enjoy “Yoga holidays” or attend my “Live or Online Lessons” to recharge your body, uplift your mind and enlighten your soul with Yoga and Meditation!

“HAPPINESS IS AN INWARD JOURNEY”

Grateful
