The Program... Unwind with a sunset class on Wednesday and complete the experience on Sunday morning. A typical day begins with a half-hour meditation and pranayama, a break for juice, fresh island fruit, tea & coffee;then 2+ hours of practice. A spectacular breakfast follows. Your day is free to enjoy as you like…Windsurf, snorkel, kayak or repose on a chaise under a tropical palm. Enjoy afternoon tea, a sunset asana class, and end the day with a delicious dinner under the stars.

Our retreat will have you stepping in to the flow of the feminine aspect of life.  This energy is called Shakti and it's in us no matter our gender.  Nixa will guide participants through a contemplation of some hindu goddesses, just for fun! The goddesses in their different forms are meant to teach us about ourselves and  show us that all of our experiences are experiences of the Divine.  We will practice asana and pranayama to stoke our understanding of our contemplations, and we'll sweat and surrender our practices to the feminine Shakti, in all of us...women and men.
