YOGA SESSIONS
This retreat is recommended for healthy athletic Yoga practitioners, individuals looking for:
1- A deep Yoga immersion to take their Yoga/ Meditation practice to the next level.
2- An opportunity to de-stress, rejuvenate and re-energize themselves,
3- A vacation in magical Hawaii
The intention of this retreat course is RENEWAL, EMPOWERMENT AND TRANSFORMATION.
Our Yoga sessions are suitable for all levels from athletic beginners to more advanced Yoga practitioners. A healthy athletic Yoga beginner is someone who is in good health overall with limited Yoga experience yet interested in exploring Yoga.
Each level of practice will be addressed with level 1, 2 and 3 variations instructed for all postures. Athletic Beginners will get special attention as far as proper postures alignment and making sure that the poses flow are appropriate to each person.
You are always welcome to take a break and relax in child’s pose. You are free to leave early if needed. I will provide individualized hands on adjustments.
. Our Yoga flow practices will build progressively from one day to the other based on a physiological and structural coherence and consistency. This retreat course design constitutes an intelligent body of Yoga flows, breathing, visualizations and meditations.
Each day will focus and emphasize one particular energy center or chakra and one given nature’s element such as Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. You will also learn about Ayurveda, India’s science of life & medicine, Tantra Yoga teachings and Radiant Wellness Yoga.
Solar Energetic Vinyasa Flow TM Yoga classes are purifying, dynamic and balancing. They start with breathing and centering followed by spinal warm up, sun salutations and a long progression leading to a stilling cooling down sequence with a long final 20 minutes relaxation.
Lunar Rejuvenative Flow Yoga classes include restorative Yin Yoga, breathing ( pranayama) practices, fun partner Yoga, stress relief yoga, Yoga Nidra and guided inner contemplations/ relaxations.
Evening guided meditation classes will be held outdoor or in our yoga studios. This daily guided meditation session goal is to build a new capacity and ritual of daily meditation practice in your life with ease and delight. Our meditation practices will allow you to focus your mind on an object, or a color or a sound. Cultivating mindfulness and relaxed concentration on the breath.
We also do Yoga Nidra, an amazing guided meditation lying down on your back. 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 3 hours of deep sleep.
