The difference between Inward Bound Yoga Immersion and the Inward Bound Core is more yoga, yoga, yoga. The day begins with meditation, followed by an intensive 2 to 3 hour yoga class. There is always a late afternoon yoga class as well. The exact flow changes depending on the particular teacher's style and intention. Currently, the diversity and excellence is obvious. In Italy, we are blessed to have Amy Ippoliti, Desiree Rumbaugh and Suzie Hurley, three of the most experienced and popular teacher trainers in the Anusara tradition, the fastest-growing yoga style in America today.
Costa Rica is big on our list of favorites. Really big. We are doing our second Yoga Surf retreats at Nosara Beach, Costa Rica with yogini wahini Christy Brock, an Iyengar teacher with a special style. We love Nosara Beach for the waves, waves, and more waves. And, the kicked back town is teeming with fun options for your personal pleasure between yoga, surfing and the ever seductive walks on the endless, perfect, magical, beach.
We have offered retreats with New York OM's, Cyndi Lee, and are looking forward to traveling with shakti queen, Shiva Rea, in the near future. We're also thinking about Burma in '08 with Aimee Brooks, wife of philosopher Douglas Brooks, the beloved Anusara pundit who tells us it is the most beautiful place on the planet.
So, some of our teachers are cultural superstars, and some radiate without the national spotlight. With all Inward Bound journeys, you will be nourished with healthy and sometimes gourmet cuisine (think Italy!!) and an abundance of time to let go of time, whether that be in nature, or pampering yourself with a world class massage which we make sure is always available.
Shifting? In transtiion (who isn't?), female?, Goddess? Inward Bound is weaving some options just for you. Look forward to more about HeartWave..... (did you know that a woman's center moves from her uterus to her heart in menomorphosis?) For you guys reading this... Don't be scared.. It's all good. And you are not invited anyway!
