Class Details
Mindy, returns to Sayulita! This retreat will focus on awakening and revitalizing your understanding of yoga both on the mat and on the surfboard. Yoga classes will explore the Yamas and Niyamas (restraints and observances) as described in the yoga Sutras, in your practice and life. Every morning join Mindy in Chanting Sacred Mantra to deepen your meditation practice before class. It is an amazing way to start your day and adds a memorable touch to this week. By weaving this philosophy into energetic asana, pranayama and meditation you will purify, enhance, and awaken your yoga practice and you will discover how surfing is yoga on the water. Join us and discover your inner surfer.
