The day begins at 7AM about sunrise with a half hour of breathing practice, pranayama, Qi Kung and morning meditation. There will be a fruit and tea break and then a 2-hour yoga class. Morning class has more energy so we’ ll be doing sun salutations, standing asanas and remedial work for injuries, ending with savasana or corpse pose. We will break the more difficult poses into manageable pieces.   Emphasis will be on creating a strong but fluid structure and working with strengthening limitations. Beginners will be able to follow  the routine. We will create a daily practice for everyone to take home.

After our morning class we will break for brunch, a meal of fruit, salads, and eggs.  We take a long midday break to walk swim, nap and get on with holidaying!

We meet again about 4:30 PM for a more restorative yoga session, pillows and blankets required. Inversions will be taught and many sitting poses. After we finish we’ll enjoy sunset at the beach and perhaps another swim and get ready for a delicious dinner at a local restaurant. The evenings could include some group activity like massages, occasionally there is local live music.

Rieko and I will both be available to give massages in the midday. At the end of the week arrangements can be made to stay on or do more sight seeing in the area. The lovely colonial city of Colima is close by and of course Guadalajara offers big city sights and Mariachi culture. The Costa Alegre of Mexico offers a rich array of possibilities.
