About Vibrant Living Yoga We reach Yoga's aim when we accept ourselves fully. Vibrant Living Yoga brings us toward that while expanding our potential through challenging asana (posture), vinyasa (breath and movement), spiritual insight, pranayama (breath exercise), meditation, music, and humor. Drawing on Daniel's extensive yoga practice and training in many styles - including jivamukti, astanga, and iyengar - creativity and spontaneity, we create classes that are eclectic, fun, inspiring and uplifting. The retreat setting allows for plenty of individual guidance, in morning and afternoon yoga sessions.
About Gourmet Living Foods Warning: six days of gourmet, high vibration live food, along with everything else on this retreat, may launch you into a state of bliss, vibrancy and energy previously unknown to you. Fresh daily coconuts, tropical fruits, organic salads and raw chocolate is the ideal nourishment for the radiant lifestyle. Delicious cooked vegetarian food will also be available. For most of us, what we eat affects how we feel. Happily we've discovered that the healthiest food is also the tastiest. We eat the best food ever - yummy, alive, strong - just in case we are what we eat. For more information about the benefits of raw food, please see www.rawfood.com. Tailored and supervised optional full day juice fast included.
