If I had to choose
just one word to describe how my recent trip to
Round Hill made me feel, it would be re-connected.
Throughout the athletically rigorous (yet ultimately
so relaxing!) program of Anusara yoga, Ashtanga
yoga, Pilates, and NIA, your subtle undertone
of spiritually focused comments unobtrusively
ushered me into a divine place. Once there, I
truly let go of time and focused only on connecting
with the beauty of nature and the present moment.
When we signed up for the trip, my 60- year old
(and usually very reserved, very German) Mom and
I didn't know what to expect. We figured at the
worst we would spend some quality time together
practicing yoga in beautiful surroundings at a
top-notch resort. Who would have imagined that
by the end of the trip she would have mastered
the basics of yoga, instructed Jennifer on the
Vienna Waltz, learned how to snorkel, and gleefully
jumped up and down with us on the resort's trampoline
raft!
Thanks for reminding us that there
is such great energy in the world, Jane. When
I think of our Round Hill experience I am inspired
to tap into it, beginning with the breath within
each breath.

From Travel&Leisure, March
2002:
"A recent four-day Inward
Bound Adventures yoga trip to Round Hill, the
Montego Bay, Jamaica, resort where Ralph Lauren
spends family vacations, was far better suited
to my tastes. Each day was pretty much the same:
two hours of yoga and meditation, beginning at
7:30; breakfast of fresh fruit, eggs, or banana
pancakes; reading on the beach; snorkeling; a
light lunch with a Red Stripe; a Swedish or Thai
massage at Bunty's Cottage spa; an hour of Pilates,
restorative yoga, and meditation at sunset; grilled
snapper at the seaside restaurant; a final swim;
and blissful sleep in a four-poster bed in an
air-conditioned villa.
It was a perfect getaway
for sisters who wanted to catch up, reconnecting
mothers and daughters, or friends who'd left their
spouses at home."
