January 17th- 24th 2009
Stationary Sequence (SS)
Registration: Empowered Yoga Wilmington Center only. Call 302.654.YOGA

I would like to invite you to our annual Costa Rica Retreat.  Once again, we are offering two separate weeks - the first week will be January 17-24th, 2009.  We will focus on Empowered Yoga's Stationary Sequence.  Chris Rogers will be joining me as we go deep into the methodology of the Sequence (SS) and its parallels with seated meditation practice.  Our aim will be to help you experience the essence of yoga - waking up to Beginner's Mind. 
"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few." - Suzuki-Roshi.

It is with great pleasure that I will be teaching the second week January 24-31st with master teacher and author Rolf Gates.  Last year Rolf and I facilitated such an empowering experience, that we have decided to join forces once more.

In closing,  January is an amazing time to be in Costa Rica. The rainy season has ended and the landscape is lush. Pura Vida Spas is one of the Top Ten Yoga Resorts in the world. It is located on the top of a mountain and just a 15 minute drive from the airport in San Jose.  For the last seven years I have facilitated week-long retreats, helping people gain a new perspective for their lives. Yoga is an amazing practice and this retreat is an incredible week or two weeks if you choose. Through the years, I have watched people have life-changing insights and become awakened to living a life they have only dreamed of.
Now is Your Time to treat yourself to a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will change your life!
