INTRODUCTORY NAVAKARANA WORKSHOP in Lesvos, with Melina Astyrakaki
Saturday, April 12, 2025
11:00-13:00
Join us for the first Introductory Navakaraṇa Workshop in Lesvos, in Eutopia Center and experience a transformative approach to yoga that blends dynamic movement, rhythm, melody and breath, rooted in tradition yet modern in its flow.
In a Navakaraṇa Vinyasa class the practitioner is guided into a new dimension of practice. The meditative atmosphere is carefully woven by the teacher, who guides the movement and breath of the practitioner through chanting. The mantra “So' Ham” resonates through the space, becoming an inner melody that synchronizes breath with movement, fostering deep concentration and a collective flow of vital energy. With the tempo and sung instructions, Navakaraṇa creates a sacred and meditative atmosphere, where yoga practice is transformed into an inner journey. The body is stretched and strengthened, the mind is present and free, a new awareness appears.
During the workshop, we’ll introduce the Navakaraṇa method, providing a brief overview of its essentials and guiding you through one complete Navakaraṇa Vinyāsa series.
This multilevel workshop offers a chance to experience this method for the first time and gain a new insight into your yoga practice. Whether you're new to yoga or already have experience, this event will offer you an opportunity to connect with this innovative practice and experience its profound benefits.
If you’re curious, don’t hesitate to join us in this journey!
Looking forward to share this beautiful practice with you.
About Melina Astyrakaki
Melina is a psychologist, systemic psychotherapist, and Yoga instructor. Her purpose is to support people on their journey of self-discovery and transformation, helping them to embrace their true nature and grow in harmony with it.
She started practicing and teaching Yoga in 2016 but it was only in 2024 that her practice changed totally when she was blessed by meeting her master Dario Calvaruso. As soon as she experienced the magical and powerful practice of Navakaraṇa Vinyāsa she immediately fell in love with the authenticity, tradition yet innovation and truth experienced during a Navakaraṇa class. The attention to the breaths, the elegance of the choreographies and the charming chanting made her reconnect with a deeply rooted ancestral bond, creating a sense of belonging to something far greater than herself.
As the first and only certified Navakarana teacher in Greece, she is thrilled to introduce this transformative practice at @eutopia_center—the place where her Yoga journey began under the guidance of her beloved teacher, Katia Melnik. Ever since discovering Navakarana method, she has been eager to bring it back to her birthplace, her cherished island of Lesvos.
Cost per person: 22€ early book until 5/4 and 27€ for bookings from 6/4. To reserve your place a deposit of 10 euros is required which is not refundable.
