February 2012

This second annual retreat will focus on experiencing Nicaragua, its culture, its people, its soul. In a nutshell, it's a true vacation to a unique and extraordinary destination. Peter is generously donating the profits from this retreat to karmaNICA, the organization which he established to support the Costa Sur Community, an island near to Jicaro Island Ecolodge.

The yoga program for the week will include a variety of basic yoga asana (poses), taught by a teacher with over 35 years experience. With light-handed guidance, each student will be encouraged to examine where resistance is present in their bodies, and experience how resistance softly met during practice holds keys for discovering new ways of moving, and new ways of being present with whatever limitation exists. Over the course of the week, instruction will encourage self-reflection and with consistent daily practice, help uncover our unique "inner teacher", cultivating a sustainable, lifelong practice and the wisdom borne of our own experience.

Each day will consist of 2 yoga sessions - the morning dynamic practice (90 min) and the afternoon restorative practice (75 min), with instruction that is progressive (step-by-step) in nature and appropriate for all levels.
