JANUARY 2009

JANUARY 4-11: YOGA RETREAT WITH NEVA

Neva Ingalls is a certified yoga therapist and ERYT500 with Yoga Alliance. In her core classes, Neva guides students through the participation of an eclectic combination derived from the teaching of the vigorous, strengthening flow of Ashtanga, the mindfulness of Iyengar and the ecstasy of Tantra and Hatha yoga. The empowerment of body, mind and soul form the underpinning of the class. Students are encouraged to travel deep below their own surface on a path toward discovering their individual essence and its interrelation to the environment in which they live.

With experience in yoga and dance as healing arts spanning three decades, Neva was inspired and found her original roots in classical ballet. In seeking to combine her studies of personal and physical growth, Neva began a lifelong exploration of yoga. This dynamic combination of yoga and dance gave Neva the unique opportunity to be at the forefront of a small movement of instructors that, at the time, were beginning to experiment with Flow Yoga in the United States.

Neva thanks the many teachers who have inspired her journey. Among these are Maharaji, Charmaine Lee, Micheline Berry, Max Strom, Lauren Peterson, Shiva Rae, Rod Stryker, David Swenson, Edemir, Flaco and Sandra Wood. The latter three have helped Neva integrate the world views of the eastern systems of Yoga and Buddhism with the Shamanic visionary work of the Native Americans.

MARCH 21-28: RECONNECT WITH YOUR OWN TRUE NATURE: AN IYENGAR YOGA AND ADVENTURE RETREAT WITH LAUREEN RUECKNER

Laureen and her husband, Wolfgang, return to Dominica for the 5th time (3rd time hosting a retreat at Jungle Bay).They look forward to sharing with others the experience of practicing the sacred art of yoga in a place of such unchanging beauty. Daily morning asana classes and several afternoon restorative classes will leave time to participate in some unforgettable excursions. (Consider joining Wolf on a breath-taking hike to the world's largest boiling volcanic lake!). Whether you are discovering the bounty of the rainforest, or sipping rum punch, overlooking the pool, take time to get to know the people of Dominica. They seem to have found some of the answers to life that the rest of us seek.

Laureen began her practice of yoga in 1969 in the Caribbean! While serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in St. Lucia, a French Canadian man, Jojo Jausserin taught her headstand and shoulderstand on the beach. When they returned to the U.S. two years later, Wolf and Laureen took their first structured yoga class in the weight room at Brandeis University. Laureen found her way to the Iyengar method, eventually studying with many of the senior teachers, including B.K.S. Iyengar, and his daughter, Geeta, on their visits to the U.S. Under the tutelage of Senior Iyengar teacher, Patricia Walden, Laureen became certified at the Junior 1 level and continues to study with, and assist, Patricia in Cambridge, Ma.

Although this workshop is for mixed levels, some experience of yoga is necessary. Non-yoga participants will find much to do and are certainly welcome.

JUNE 13-20: ANUSARA ADVENTURE FOR SPIRITED WOMEN OVER 40 WITH SUZIE HURLEY AND BETSEY DOWNING

Join Betsey Downing and Suzie Hurley for a week-long adventure in Anusara Yoga, meditation, pranayama and sharing. As our group of spirited women over 40 comes together, we will experience how we can support and empower each other to go beyond our physical and emotional limitations. One of the great secrets of aging well is to live life as an adventure, to keep a youthful enthusiasm balanced with an earned wisdom of acceptance without resignation. We learn that we can accept where we are at this very moment while still looking forward to what lies beyond the next bend in our path. We can embrace our menopausal zest with insight, creativity and laughter. Jungle Bay will provide the landscape for our adventure and we will provide the means. This promises to be a fantastic retreat!
