Dominica February 1st - 6th! Sign Up by November 4th for Best Pricing

Enjoy Yoga, Pilates, hiking, snorkeling, kayaking & exploring the breathtaking island of Dominica.

The island of Dominica (pronounced Dom-i-NEEK-a) not to be confused with the Dominican Republic, is an island in the Caribbean in the Lesser Antilles and lies south of Antiqua and the Virgin Islands, and north of Guadalupe and St. Lucia. 

Dominica is its own country, characterized by lush tropical rainforest, mountain springs and waterfalls, and unspoiled natural beauty surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise seas. This protected island remains untouched by mass tourism and is known as “The Nature Island” due to its many unique ecosystems that are home to diverse species of plants and animals. Barefoot luxury pairs with nature’s unequaled power to amaze in Dominica, the Caribbean’s best-kept secret. 

Velvety green mountains rise nearly 5,000 feet from sea level on this volcanic landmass, surrounded by aqua sea. Sixty percent of the island is covered by rainforest, and there are hundreds of rivers, plus 12 waterfalls, 19 major dive sites, and 22 species of cetaceans, making Dominica a favored dive spot and year-round whale-watching destination.

This eco-lodge is a Caribbean gem on the Island of Dominica and offers a dynamic collection of retreat, adventure, spa treatments, wellness, yoga, gourmet cuisine, local culture, and history. With the deep energy of this special center and the crystal blue ocean surrounding, immerse your senses in all this escape has to offer. It’s the perfect spot to unplug from everything as you recharge yourself on the Nature Island of the Caribbean. The rooms are on a hill separated by nature.

Treat your body and soak in the splendor of a rainforest spa, savor farm-to-table cuisine picked from rich soil, and find out-of-this-world adventures on the land or under the sea. You’ll fall in love with Dominica because of its natural beauty, friendly people, and laid-back vibe.

TAKE CARE OF THE TEACHER.

NOURISH YOU.
How to unfold the peace you experience in your practice to effect your life off the mat. How to not over schedule, over teach, burn out or get dragged down in negative energies. How do you relate to community, friends, family, yoga colleagues, the people that piss you off, the stuff that scares you, that worries you - so that you can lead a full life complete with space and recognition of all the joy, sadness and beauty around us. Additionally - can someone please break down sanskrit words for me? Absolutely. Not to mention the teacher goodie bags we have for you...

BE INSPIRED.

“Do everything with a mind that lets go. Don’t accept praise or gain or anything else. If you let go a little you a will have a little peace; if you let go a lot you will have a lot of peace; if you let go completely you will have complete peace. ” 
― Ajahn Chah

As a practice cue, “let go” runs the risk of being one of the greatest spiritual clichés.  And yet, when fully understood and implemented with skill, “letting go” encapsulates one of the greatest lessons on the spiritual journey. 

This workshop of Yin Yoga and Insight Meditation will explore three aspects of “letting go”:

1.    Letting go of our tendency to inhabit either the future or past.

2.    Letting go of our incessant demands that this moment be anything other than it is.

3.    Letting go, ultimately, of the sense of self that tries so hard, paradoxically, to let go. 

Come enjoy the pleasure and peace of letting go!

Yin Yoga and Insight Meditation: Finding the Missing Peace

The spiritual journey promises a movement from noise to silence, from agitation to calm, from complexity to simplicity. But, ultimately, it is our inner orientation to that journey, not the practices themselves, that determines whether or not we will reach our destination.

Within the practices of Yin Yoga and Buddhist Insight Meditation, Josh will offer clear guidance for directing one's attention and energy towards the serenity and peace in the here and now regardless of the chaos in the world around or within you.

What is Yin Yoga?

Yin Yoga is a complementary yoga practice to more dynamic and active yoga styles. In Yin Yoga, floor postures are held passively for several minutes in order to access a safe and positive ‘stress’ on the deeper layers of connective tissue in the body.

Physically, Yin Yoga restores and maintains the natural mobility of the joints, primarily between the navel and the knees. Energetically, Yin Yoga opens the body’s meridian system, which enhances the body’s energetic flow and supports emotional equilibrium.

Yin Yoga emphasizes stillness and silence. The practice prepares both the body and mind for deeper experiences in meditation. 

 

Josh’s Bio

Josh Summers is a Yin Yoga teacher, a licensed acupuncturist, and a meditation instructor. Josh began studying Iyengar yoga in the early nineties with James Murphy in New York City. Since then, he has spent several years living abroad in India, Taiwan and Burma where he has studied both yoga and meditation. As his interest in vipassana or insight meditation developed so too did his interest in more contemplative forms of yoga practice. With a professional background in Oriental Medicine and a personal passion for the dharma, Josh fell in love with Yin Yoga as a beautiful synthesis of the two.

Josh now teaches workshops and trainings throughout the United States and Europe. For more information, please visit his website: www.joshsummers.net

Hands-On Assistant Training

with Lesley Rice

Saturday, September 9th and Sunday, September 10th

1:00 - 4:00 pm

$60 per session |  $100 for both sessions

This Workshop is Open to ALL:

Yoga Teachers and Anyone Looking to Take their Love of Yoga to a new level!

 

The Assistant Training will cover learning how to spot necessary hands-on assists and how to approach your students with steadiness & ease.  

 

We will Cover:

* The elements of a proper assist

* The knowledge of which assists may work best for an individual

* The Basic assists for the foundational poses

* The alignment principles that will allow you to adapt an assist to be helpful for similar poses. 

 

 

A proper hands-on assist, given with knowledge and sensitivity, can help us find the moment when we feel centered in a yoga pose, both strong and grounded allowing us the courage to explore further and go deeper. 
 

Hands-on assisting is one of the most important tools a yoga teacher can offer students.  

 

It feels extraordinary, inspires confidence and helps educate the body so it recognizes and internalizes the proper alignment for the next time we are in the pose.

Join Lesley and learn classic alignment techniques, new techniques, and more!
