Yoga Retreat at W Costa Navarino for the 2nd consecutive year, and our 6th year overall at the Costa Navarino group hotels. A beloved location in Gialova Bay, Pylos, Messinia, featuring a fresh character, premium amenities, and magnificent sunsets.
We held four thematic practices near the full moon, focusing on Thought – Emotion – Conclusion. Through these sessions, we worked on releasing Sadness, Fear, and Guilt.
A Lesson Learned
There are moments when the temptation to respond in kind is strong—to repay every disrespect and every harsh act.
But then I stop and observe. I look at their lives, their battles, and I realize that the world has already imposed enough punishment upon them. Some wars are not fought with words, but with silence.
In the end, everyone gives what they have. I choose not to return the harm, but to move forward.

A magical place, a wonderful atmosphere, practicing during incredible sunsets, and perfect company! One of the best retreats I’ve attended with the kids! See you at the next one. With love. — N.G.
Stunning views, the sea, the sunset and sunrise served like a feast at our feet. But it was our companionship and Fotini’s yoga—with her love and her power to persuade us to embrace life and leave all the bad things behind—that made it special. Every year, it gets better. I will come back. — B.B.

“I receive – I establish!” Your lesson became my mantra and literally carried me through the last 5km of the half-marathon for the Navarino Challenge!

See you at the next retreats—with love. — N.M.
It was a wonderful journey of many kilometers from Cyprus to Messinia. It is a wonderful journey of the soul with you, Fotini, lighting our way—from the full moon to the setting of the sun (and the setting of fear, sadness, and guilt). Until next time then! I thank you both for everything! — M.A.
