April 28-May 5, 2012:
Find Your Balance, Invoke Your Bliss
We encourage participants to bring partners or friends who may be new to the yoga journey and want some exposure but want some vacation time too! Jean’s classes will meet the needs of a yoga novice or pique the desires of more experienced yogis to take their practice deeper while in a retreat.
To help with your travel planning, your first yoga class will be on Sunday morning and final yoga class the following Friday afternoon. It’s best to arrive no later than 4:30pm on Saturday and to plan your departure flight from Xinalani no earlier than 11 am.
We suggest the $100 round trip airport transfer provided by the resort.
