Island: St. Lucia
 
Date: February 14 - 21, 2009
 
Accommodations: Harmony Suites
 
Yoga:
This retreat will provide you with the unique opportunity to participate in a variety of classes being offered by two highly trained and skilled New York City instructors. Open the day with sunrise meditation, pranayama and asana, then take an invigorating midmorning vinyasa flow and end the day with the delicious treat of restorative yoga. Take all daily classes or choose your own rhythm, and in between, enjoy the beauties of St. Lucia!
 
Instructors:

Anna Dioguardi believes that the vibration of sound and the movement of Yoga asanas can invite miracles into our lives. YogaWorks certified and Beryl Bender Birch trained, Anna's classes infuse breath with movement in an invigorating and transforming way, giving you the permission to be who you are, the alignment principles to practice safely and effectively, and the inspiration and joy for yoga to keep you coming back for more!

 
Dilshad Keshwani hails from India. She has three Masters to her credit and served as a Teacher Trainer for 16 years. Certified in 2005 at Be Yoga/Yogaworks, Dilshad regards meditation as the best gift of Yoga. She emphasizes Yoga practice with Asanas and Pranayama as meditation in movement. Yoga practice for her is the gateway to access the divinity.
 
Cuisine:

Our daily brunch will be served at The Edge restaurant, conveniently located inside Harmony Suites and offering a stunning waterfront setting. The menu has been designed specifically with yoga groups in mind by Caribbean Chef of the Year, Bobo Bergstrom who's unique EUROBBEAN fusion cuisine, as well as his cooking style (flavors, presentation and attention to detail) has earned him fame in the whole of the Caribbean.

Special care will be taken to meet all dietary requirements noted by retreat participants. In seasons past, these expansive and beautiful daily brunches have been a highlight of the retreats!


Our Welcome and Farewell Dinners will also be at The Edge, leaving the other nights open for you to choose to dine at one of the 20+ other restaurants within walking distance from Harmony Suites.

It is a beautiful nature park reflecting a thousand years of history. There are marked trails with a number of historical sites, like the remains of an 18th-century British fort as well as two secluded beaches.

Reduit Beach, one of St. Lucia’s finest stretches of gold sand, is only 200 yards from Harmony Suites. A full range of water sport equipment, beach chairs and umbrellas are available for hire here.
