It was not only eye opening for me but a life changing experience that I will recommend to all… I have been doing Martial Art since 5 years old and have had the luck to train under the best in the world. What I found in Sifu Viola is a unique mix of deep and true knowledge combined with a kindness and openness that I have very rarely found. Sifu Viola is master at what she is doing and able and willing to teach it all, explain it all, demonstrate it all always keeping a sense of humor that make any 2 hours class fly by might it be Qigong or Tai Chi.

Teaching is an art, having the patience and the wisdom to explain to practitioners from beginners to advanced equally well is not easy but what is truly unique is doing it with humility and strength combined. Coming from a strong form, I had to empty my cup every day and Viola was always patient, answering my questions and with her husband Russell working both large or details strokes as I needed.”

Dan Markowitz has studied with Bikram and is a certified Bikram Yoga instructor. He is the owner of the popular YogaSol, Bikram Yoga Norwalk (Ct.) studio and has been teaching Bikram Yoga for 16 years. His classes are characterized by their energy, timing, detail and humor. Dan loves the practice of Bikram Yoga because it works for all levels of students and it makes you feel great mentally, physically and spiritually. Practiced correctly in the right conditions, Bikram Yoga feels like a moving meditation.

This is the 12th retreat Dan is leading at the Pura Vida Spa. He has also led Bikram Retreats to Maya Tulum in Mexico and in Kauai, Hawaii. We are looking forward to practicing twice a day (Sunrise/Sunset, 90-minute classes) in the beautiful Hot Yoga studio of Lila Hall with its tremendous view. Every group Dan has led has come together beautifully. The students with strong and experienced Bikram practices set a great example for the students who are building their practices. There is a real generosity of spirit, fun and openness to the classes. Students are encouraged to honor and listen to their bodies and practice accordingly. The week of classes and instructions allows all students to open up and improve and enjoy their practices immensely.

A mid-week Posture Clinic is also conducted. Each student receives a lot of individual attention and insight. Bikram Yoga is an extremely healing practice as it combines 105-degree heat with a sequence of 26-postures designed to stretch, strengthen and detox every part of the body. It is a truly inside-out practice from the muscles and bones to the internal organs and glands to the skeletal and cellular levels. All one has to do is come to Pura Vida, lay down their yoga mat and start practicing. The healing and flexibility quickly follow.

Bikram says, “I cannot overstate the importance of doing your Hatha Yoga in heat. Doing your Yoga in a cold environment can bring harm to your body. Remember, you are changing the construction of your body as you perform these postures.”

Here are some testimonials from Dan’s retreat:

“Mind, Body & Spirit. Thank you for inspiring me this week. I truly had a great Retreat, have made some close friends, as well as improved my Bikram practice.”–RR

“Seeing that this was the best yoga retreat ever I am seriously considering it (returning next year)…Dan Markowitz Bikram Retreat attendee.

Any interested student, either an experienced Bikram practitioner or a complete beginner, is welcome to join.

Recover from the holidays and the stresses of your life by beating the winter blues in the beautiful country of Costa Rica. During this Kripalu Yoga and mindfulness retreat, you will have an opportunity to slow down, take a few deep breaths, and soak in the beauty of the present moment. In the sacred space we create together you can allow your spirit to slowly awaken and reconnect with the simple joy of being fully alive.

Kripalu Yoga is much more than a physical discipline. Kripalu Yoga is a practice of transformation – a way to open the heart, find clarity and experience stillness within. Mindfulness is about living consciously with kindness and compassion. Both yoga and mindfulness emphasize listening to the body’s needs and respecting its limits. This approach allows each of us, beginner or experienced, to receive the benefits of the practice and make each moment one to celebrate.

As a group we will welcome each new day during your vacation with a specially designed morning Kripalu yoga class. Throughout the week you’ll learn more about yoga, mindful eating and living, and meditation. There will be a theme for each day that will lead you deeper into a celebration of life. Workshops will include yogic breathing to move energy in the body, various types of mindfulness meditation to develop inner peace and lovingkindness, and restorative yoga and yoga nidra to soothe your body and mind.

There will be plenty of time to receive treatments at the wellness center, lounge by the pool, soak in the hot tub under the stars, take in the spectacular views, meet new friends, and enjoy the many optional eco-adventure tours which are available at Pura Vida Spa. Journey home feeling truly refreshed and re-charged, with a new appreciation for the beauty of life.

This retreat is led by Lynn Rossy, Ph.D. Visit her registration page at http://www.globalyogajourneys.com/mindful.html
