July Mediterranean Getaway To Mykonos
1 July 2021, 11:00:24
If you’re looking for a luxury retreat in a beautiful place, but don’t want to go somewhere far away from everything, our July 1st, retreat in Mykonos offers just the perfect balance – a luxury setting with plenty to see and do, but also plenty of quiet time and space to relax after a stressful start to the year.
- All meals prepared by private chef (excluding 2 dinners out in local restaurants)
- This includes 1/2 bottle of wine per person with dinner in the villa
- Daily yoga workouts with Hermine and Charm
- Outdoor Swimming in heated pools
And we don’t think you need to deprive yourself on a yoga retreat – yoga and fitness are at the core of our retreats, but we like to enjoy a nice break at the same time. No waking up at dawn (unless you want to), no strict rules on food and drinks, we guide you, but everything is optional, and you can spend time with the group or on your own – most people do a bit of both.
Hermine will be joining us from Paris and Charm from Dubai to lead the yoga classes on the retreat. Relax, unwind, and rediscover your inner peace in Mykonos, Greece. This retreat is an invitation to you to take some time for yourself. Surrender to your own impulses, feel your own body and give space to your feelings. Located just outside of Mykonos Town, discover the quiet charm of the Cycladic maze of Hora, the pleasure of travelling the backcountry roads and a dining scene to rival any Greek island.
Our two neighbouring villas each have 5 double bedrooms. Furnished & equipped to an extremely high standard with spacious alfresco dining verandas overlooking the beach & ocean ideal in the warm summer evenings. Our villas are in a prime beach location with ample sun loungers & outdoor dining areas, all have large swimming pools.
We will host you individually as you personally experience a physical and spiritual rebalancing journey, in connection with our natural surroundings. We’ll enjoy delicious meals and spa treatments, and we’ll plan day trips and group dinners. But everything is optional – completely up to you.
Travelling solo is becoming an increasingly popular way to treat yourself to some serious me-time. Fitness holidays for singles allow you to zone in on your personal goals, go at your own pace and perhaps make some new friends as you cheer each other on. We also allow groups to book their own private villas and also extend their trip by adding days (enquiries at team@navahausretreats.com)

Ricardo Varga (@fitlikeric)
Ricardo Vargas is a Master Trainer with over 15 years of experience. He has taught classes in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami, San Francisco, London, Dubai and the Caribbean. A broken engagement in 2016 left him questioning the course of his life. Feeling unfulfilled by material success, he donated most of his worldly possessions, purchased a one way ticket to the Far East and embarked upon a spiritual quest. His destiny led him to India where he met his Guru. That Divine meeting with his master forever changed the course of his life. As a result of his studies in mysticism and his Guru’s teachings, Ricardo infuses the essence of Eastern philosophy with the discipline of Western fitness to create a system of self-mastery designed to align the mind, body and soul. His mission is simple: To educate, enhance and empower the lives of those he serves.

Her journey began as a child, often being taken to her Mother’s own Yoga class and joining in. At home, massage was regularly used to relieve common ailments, while nutrition was a focus for optimal health –valuable foundations that naturally paved her way.
Natalie’s Yoga training is classically Hatha but a more personal style has developed over the years, having collaborated and been influenced by several high-profile teachers. She expresses her passion toward more therapeutic styles and their healing effect by enjoying to teach slow, deep and methodically.

@equitness
Equitness Pilates has been created by Agi Falenta -- Pilates and fitness instructor, equestrian, a mum of two, horse and border collie lover and a fitness ambassador from Edinburgh, Scotland.
Agi is an International Presenter who has taught workshops and masterclasses to instructors in UK, India, Turkey, Poland, Dubai and the US. She is a creator of the first Interactive Pilates with Props Manual. She has been a horse rider and International showjumper and now shares her passion for Pilates through her Instagram page and at studios in Scotland,
where she currently resides and around the world through her workshops.
"I have practiced Pilates for years but being a bit hyper I have always felt that it is well below my tempo. On the other hand, I didn’t fancy doing high speed exercises that make your shirt soaked in sweat, especially when you want to do a 10 minutes routine on your office lunch break. Having more than 25 years horse riding and show jumping experience I know
the importance of strong core and abdominal muscles not only in riding but in everyday life.
So I took what’s best from Pilates, riding and fitness and created Equitness -- Agi’s way to do Pilates with a powerful twist.
There is no need to spend thousands on sophisticated gym equipment that looks more like medieval torture machines, when you can use very simple props to target specific muscles groups. Thera-bands, circles, loop bands for adding some resistance, or balls, overballs and rollers to help with mobility issues, joints problems and to challenge balance, stability and strength."
Class Descriptions
Yoga
Profoundly nourishing classes to encourage your body to heal on a deeper level and your mind to calm more effortlessly. The ethos of quality over quantity is given importance and an emphasis on how a shape or movement feels for the individual, over how it may visually appear. Breathwork and meditation also play a key role; using simple and effective techniques for everyone to remember at home.
Slow-paced, grounded and soothing, yet strong and suitable for everyone. Expect gentle mobilisation and passive stretches that work deeply to restore the body; with plenty of rest, luxurious support and adjustments to enjoy comfortable holds, over longer periods of time. Perfect to recharge energies, relieve aches, compliment active lifestyles or to simply help busy minds!
Pilates inspired HiIT - High Intensity workout
A little bit faster, more challenging class focussing on burning, sculpting and getting stronger,
leaner, toner. In this session we might use small props to add a challenge and to work more effectively.
Be ready to sweat and have fun :)
Pilates for everyone
In this session we will focus on better understanding Pilates Principles. Trying to find connection with mind and body.
Session design for all levels. In this class Agi will show lots of progressions and modifications, to make sure that the class will be suitable for all levels.
We might use some small props for support, help, feedback or to add some challenge.
Pilates with a twist
Pilates is so beautiful in its simplicity. It allows you to go smaller, resist less, do fewer repetitions and often slower which helps find you a true challenge - whatever level of ability you are.
In this class Agi will show you how to make slight changes for a greater challenge. Come explore the possibilities with this session of taking the Pilates principles and variations of the original moves to the new level.
Extras (book in advance or on the retreat)
Therapeutic Massage
Treat yourself to an unforgettable luxurious experience, where the body is honoured as a complete whole; releasing not not only your physical body but also that of your mind and emotions. A mini consultation ensures that sessions are entirely tailor-made to suit individual needs and wants, helping Natalie to treat everyone as unique at any given moment.
You can feel totally at ease in Natalie’s hands, whether you are new to massage, simply looking for relaxation, release of muscular tension, pain relief or seeking healing on a deeper level!
One-2-One Yoga
Natalie’s private Yoga sessions are known to be particularly therapeutic. Expect plenty of ground-based poses, where she uses the floor and bodyweight as a resistance to stretch, move and manipulate you deeply into shapes. Together with better attention to alignment, you will enjoy longer holds with less effort and find greater relief in your body; physically, mentally and emotionally.
It is also time to focus on your individual practice and gain a deeper understanding of your needs, helping you to progress toward personal goals. Excellent for beginners’ initial experience, to help confidence and to establish safe practice skills. Advanced yogis can also benefit to improve their current practice, by working into poses with more detail and by finding an extra element of challenge.
Nava Haus Retreats retreats are planned around our four key pillars of L.I.F.E: leisure, indulgence, fitness and energy. We combine training and instruction, socializing, well-being and downtime. We expect you to come back pampered, healthier, mentally sound and with new life-long friends.

Juju is passionate about making fitness a social and memorable experience!
"Having known first-hand how it feels to experience depleted energy levels with post-viral chronic fatigue in my teens, my main priority since has been to cultivate energy and help others prioritise happiness, health and wellbeing. I created VOGA after the illuminating moment that life can be everything you want it to be. Free your mind, combine your passions.”

Our Trainers
JUJU
An expert in her field, Juju has been practising yoga for 15 years having trained in Sivananda Yoga, India and most recently in Hot Yoga through Fierce Grace, London. She created VOGA to help others manifest their inner power and connect to the physicality of the body through breath, movement and music. Juju is passionate about making fitness a social and memorable experience!
"Having known first-hand how it feels to experience depleted energy levels with post-viral chronic fatigue in my teens, my main priority since has been to cultivate energy and help others prioritise happiness, health and wellbeing. I created VOGA after the illuminating moment that life can be everything you want it to be. Free your mind, combine your passions.”
Private paid one-on-one sessions are offered 7PM to 8PM daily for those who wish to learn more in-depth techniques from Juju. These can be booked onsite but it's cheaper if booked in advance during the booking process.
Charlotte Frazier
Charlotte has over 10 years of experience coaching her clients to be the best version of themselves.
Charlotte's training is unique and extremely effective for weight loss, strength, conditioning and general fitness. She uses a more holistic approach that takes into consideration all aspects of her clients life, so they can practicalise what she teaches individually.
For example, Charlotte uses the concepts of weights training, functional training and balanced nutrition to help her clients achieve a mindset that helps them to overcome their personal obstacles.

Now as the manager and trainer of F45 she hopes to champion a new element of functional training through her high energy interval training.
Maria Fregoso
Maria Fregoso has been devoted to the practice of yoga over 8 years, finding a connection through the study of yoga philosophy and other roots of its teachings as Hatha, Vinyasa & Kundalini. Maria has had the great opportunity to practice in 2017 at Mysore KPJAYI school to practice the traditional forms of Ashtanga Yoga with Saraswathi Jois, daughter of Pattabhi Jois, Founder of the system of Ashtanga Vinyasa as we know it now. In a restorative style she teaches Yin Yoga, Pranayama and meditation.
Moksha Soul Yoga was inspired by the Hindu belief that the soul passes through a cycle of successive lives (samsara) and its next incarnation is always dependent on how the previous life was lived (karma).
Maria’s fierce and compassionate dedication to yoga inspires and holds space for students to journey deeper into body, heart, mind, and spirit than they ever could have imagined and experience their inherent potential.
Nava Haus Retreats retreats are planned around our four key pillars of L.I.F.E: leisure, indulgence, fitness and energy. We combine training and instruction, socializing, well-being and downtime. We expect you to come back pampered, healthier, mentally sound and with new life-long friends.
Classes Offered by Maria
Power Vinyasa Flow
This style of yoga is designed to challenge the body while quieting the mind using an intellectually sequenced series of postures that synchronise the breath with movement in continual flow, creating an internal heat within the body. Vinyasa classes often begin with a series of sun salutations to warm up the body. Vinyasa yoga is a fun, athletic form of yoga that will lift your spirits and your energy levels while increasing flexibility, strength and balance.
Beginners Yoga
New to Yoga? On the privacy of your own environment where you can focus on yourself. This class will demystify some of the key postures (and Sanskrit terms) while taking things at a slower, more manageable pace. Creating confidence and comfort in your own practice. Also I’ll be offering two part beginners workshop for a more in-depth introduction to yoga – please contact me for more details.
Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga derives from the teachings of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, linking breath and movement in a continuous flow. The class is based on the Primary Series – a dynamic sequence of postures practiced with focused breathing techniques ( Ujjayi breath or victorious breath), designed specifically to align the body and strengthen the nervous system, while cultivating a feeling of inner peace.
Yin Yoga / Meditation / Breath work
This is a quiet, slow and meditative practice, with a focus on the hips, pelvis and lower spine, all supported by the earth using props and variations to allow the body to open up and the mind to still. By holding postures for an extended period, the connective tissue is stimulated and joints are nourished. Yin is open to all levels and is a great way to bring balance to your dynamic yoga practice. For some the challenge of letting go in a Yin class is harder than coming up into handstand. Some Yin sessions may conclude with a seated meditation to leave you feeling grounded and restored.
HIIT Training (High Intensity, Interval Training)
HIIT workouts generally combine short bursts of intense exercise with periods of rest or lower-intensity exercise. At fitness studios and online, these workouts often mix aerobic and resistance training. HIIT workouts provide improved athletic capacity shown that HIIT regimens produced significant reductions in the fat mass of the whole-body. The benefits of HIIT include burning calories, losing weight, and building muscle. HIIT can also help you lower blood pressure and blood sugar, while improving oxygen and blood flow.

Class Descriptions
Yoga
A profoundly nourishing class that encourages the body to heal on a greater level and where the mind draws effortlessly toward more calm. The ethos of quality over quantity is given importance, along with an emphasis on how a shape or movement feels for the individual, over how it may visually appear. Breathwork and mindfulness also play a key role; using simple and effective techniques for everyone to remember at home.
Slow-paced, grounded and soothing, yet strong and suitable for everyone. Expect gentle mobilisation and passive stretches that work deeply to restore the body; with plenty of luxurious support and adjustments to enjoy comfortable holds, over longer periods of time. Perfect to recharge energies, end the day toward relaxation, relieve common aches, to compliment an active lifestyle or to simply help those with busy minds!
Pilates inspired HiIT - High Intensity workout
A little bit faster, more challenging class focussing on burning, sculpting and getting stronger,
leaner, toner. In this session we might use small props to add a challenge and to work more effectively.
Be ready to sweat and have fun :)
Pilates for everyone
In this session we will focus on better understanding Pilates Principles. Trying to find connection with mind and body.
Session design for all levels. In this class Agi will show lots of progressions and modifications, to make sure that the class will be suitable for all levels.
We might use some small props for support, help, feedback or to add some challenge.
Pilates with a twist
Pilates is so beautiful in its simplicity. It allows you to go smaller, resist less, do fewer repetitions and often slower which helps find you a true challenge - whatever level of ability you are.
In this class Agi will show you how to make slight changes for a greater challenge. Come explore the possibilities with this session of taking the Pilates principles and variations of the original moves to the new level.
Extras (book in advance or on the retreat)
Therapeutic Massage
Treat yourself to unforgettable luxurious experiences…
Massage is a natural way of life for Natalie, having been introduced to this healing art from an early age, when it was used in the family home as a principal tool against common ailments.
Now, with 15 years’ experience, including yoga instruction, a higher intelligence is certainly brought to these sessions, where her passion and understanding of bodywork shines. Natalie honours the body as a complete whole, balancing not just the physical side but also that of the mind and emotions. She treats everyone as a unique individual represented in that moment in time and no one treatment is ever the same.
You can feel totally at ease in Natalie’s hands, whether you are new to massage, simply looking for relaxation, release of muscular tension, pain relief or seeking healing on a deeper level!
One-2-One Yoga
The way to effortlessly deepen your practice…
Natalie’s private sessions are known to be particularly therapeutic. Expect plenty of ground-based poses, where she uses the floor and bodyweight as a resistance to stretch, move and manipulate you deeply into shapes, allowing you to enjoy longer holds with less effort to relieve your body, physically, mentally and emotionally.
It is also time to focus on your individual practice to gain a deeper understanding of your needs, so you can progress more efficiently toward personal goals. Excellent for beginners’ initial experience to be more accompanied, to help their confidence and to establish safe practice skills. Advanced yogis can also benefit to improve their current practice, by working into poses with greater detail and by finding an extra element of challenge.
With Natalie’s experience in massage, a higher intelligence is certainly also brought to the mix: everyone enjoys the enhanced benefits of plenty of luxurious hands-on adjustments, moving you into poses, not only with better alignment but also with more pleasure!
Nava Haus Retreats retreats are planned around our four key pillars of L.I.F.E: leisure, indulgence, fitness and energy. We combine training and instruction, socializing, well-being and downtime. We expect you to come back pampered, healthier, mentally sound and with new life-long friends.

Small gifts & departure
About Liz Terry
It took an open heart and a willingness to jump in feet first to surrender to her inner guidance. Liz is an eRYT500 Vinyasa, Yin and Yogaworks Teacher Trainer who caught a bit of wanderlust and has been traveling teaching yoga since 2008. Having studied with YogaWorks for her 200hr in California, and with the world-renowned Michel Besnard in Thailand for her 300hr TT, Liz has so much knowledge to share. What she’s learned from her teachers and students from being abroad goes beyond what being on the mat has taught her.
Liz continues to enhance her teaching by practicing all types of movement from yoga to crossfit, running & Yoga Tune Up etc. Her classes challenge the idea of what asana is, allowing her students to explore and empower themselves by learning what their bodies and minds can do.
Liz is also a Rolfer™, Structural Integrator, which has helped inform her teaching into a much deeper understanding of functional movement and exploration of fascia
About Emilie Mikulla
Having contracted a major case of wanderlust, Emilie traveled the world, working as journalist and teaching movement in Thailand, South Africa, San Francisco, and now Dubai. After two surgeries on her spine, Emilie discovered Pilates and the rest is history… She is the owner of The Mindful Body, a health and wellness company, a Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist (COMT), Integrated Yoga Tune Up®️ instructor and Roll Model Method®️ trainer, and a Pilates teacher. Last September, Emilie embarked on a year-long pain care mentorship with Dr Neil Pearson to offer her clients and students more options to prevent and manage pain.
Emilie’s powerful yet therapeutic classes will help get out of your pain cycle, and empower you with the selfcare tools you need to become the guardian of your own body and keep practicing the activities you love for a lifetime.

About Jackie Ngu (@jackies_yoga)
Jackie’s yoga journey started over 20 years ago when she was still at University. She knew then that she loved it but didn’t take it seriously and was not consistently practising. With all the stresses, hustles and bustles of life she reconnected properly with yoga about 8 years ago with consistent practice.
Jackie is a certified Mat Yoga, Yoga Trapeze and Gravity Yoga Instructor. Her Yoga Flows are an infusion of various styles of Yoga, Pilates, Weight Training with the use of props such as straps, stability ball and blocks. Her mission is to share her passion of Yoga with as many people as possible so that they can enjoy the benefits Yoga has in connecting mind, body and spirit.
