Flowing into the Sacred
A Yoga Retreat with Laura Humpf on Whidbey Island
September 17-19, 2010
Come practice on Whidbey Island while we explore fluidity, creativity, duality and passion. These are all aspects of our second chakra, which is also associated with the low belly, sacrum and hips. We will spend time working with these areas of the body, and practicing flowing, vinyasa-style yoga.
The retreat is located at the beautiful Yoga Lodge on Whidbey Island, and you can enjoy over 7 hours of practice and plenty of time to wander, read, write, nap, get a massage, lounge or simply be. There is a wonderful garden, a pond for contemplation and a sauna at the lodge as well as great hikes and small towns nearby to explore. All meals are vegetarian and mostly organic. All levels welcome and encouraged.

Yoga By The Sea
TWO UNIQUE YOGA RETREATS with MOLLY LANNON KENNY.
TWO DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT EXCURSIONS INTO THE JOYOUS
AND POWERFUL WORLD OF YOGA AND YOGA AS THERAPY
HAWAII - February 5 - 12th, 2011
Kalani Oceanside Retreat Center, Puna, The Big Island, Hawaii
MEXICO - February 26 - March 5th, 2011
Nayarit Coast, Mexico
HAWAII
Join us on an inward journey of spiritual introspection and personal reflection. Set at the beautiful Kalani Oceanside Retreat Center (www.kalani.com) on the Big Island of Hawaii. Explore the self, breath and the methods and paths to spiritual well-being in that unique way only Molly can bring. Learn, meditate and reflect on specific practices for how yoga can be a fountain of inspiration, happiness, serenity and strength, and how that can not only enrich your life, but also the lives of all those around you.
* Activities include daily asana practice and topic discussions, use of the Kalani grounds and its clothing optional pool, access to a remote stretch of black sand beach, gourmet meals served on the premises, over 40 acres of jungle to explore, and plenty of free time for excursions to nearby lava flows, quaint Hawaiian villages and the romantic and timeless town of Hilo. Kalani also offers an extensive array of body and energy work for you to totally pamper yourself. Truly a part of the world that words cannot adequately describe.
The retreat in Hawaii will have an inward focus based on reflection, meditation and contemplation. The asana will be gentle-moderate and practice will be held in a beautiful open-air studio. The atmosphere will be much more retreat oriented in the traditional sense. The Kalani Retreat Center is also fully accessible to those with limited mobility.
MEXICO
This week of practice, discussion, sharing and plain ol' south of the border fun in a serene fishing village about 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, along the palm-dotted white sands of the Pacific Riviera, will be a journey of cultural interchange, yoga as it relates to the self and community, and a chance to interact on a personal and intimate level with the local community. Practice Yoga, learn Spanish, explore local villages and their delights, share your life experience with a population willing to share theirs. Truly a unique retreat for those looking to take their yoga outward into the world and the lives of others.
* Activities include daily asana practice and topic discussions, various excursions to nearby pueblos, beaches and ancient ruins, community interchange with local kids and adults, and plenty of free time for personal exploration, sun worship, and sipping cervezas or limonadas on the beach!
How will this retreat be different than the Hawaii retreat?
The Mexico retreat will be much more of an "outward bound" situation. The focus will be on community interaction and cultural exchange with the benefit of Molly and Sasha's deep friendship with the locals. The actual terrain and travel may be more difficult for those with limited mobility....although those with limited mobility have come in the past and thrived. Asana will be moderate-vigorous and will alternate between the cement of a local school playground and the beach. In general, a more rough'n'tumble kind of spiritual endeavor!
Both retreats will be as unique and amazing as those who participate...and we are looking forward to sharing these experiences in self-discovery and awareness with you! If you're having a tough time deciding which retreat to participate in....come along to both!
And remember - we don't just put on retreats, we throw retreats!

**Special for those returning students (and we know there are a few who have already been to 2 or 3 of Molly's retreats over the last few years) is the retreat equivalent of the coffee card: Every 5th retreat attended (over any expanse of time) is half off. Just a small token of our gratitude. We know there are many retreats in this world and we are so appreciative of the continued support.
