Dates: November 23-30, 2007.
We invite you to enjoy 8 days of yoga and fun at the Los Mangos Hotel in Montezuma, Costa Rica. Montezuma is a small, charming village on the Peninsula de Nicoya on the west coast of Costa Rica. It is a great spot for sunning and surfing as well as touring the near by islands.
November is one of the three most beautiful months in Costa Rica, the average temperature is in the mid-80's along the Pacific. Paula brings her extensive training and experience in yoga and human anatomy to provide a fun and safe experience.
Local attractions include nature and wildlife reserves, hiking, diving, snorkeling, boating, shopping, kayaking and horseback riding. Two afternoons have planned excursions.
The Yoga. Paula Tursi developed Reflections Yoga as a way to merge what she found most inspiring in other practices of yoga and energetic healing with her own personal truth. Reflections yoga focuses on understanding the relationship of the alignment of the mind and body. Working in this way helps us to feel that we move not just from our muscles and joints but also from the support of our inner body.
As our understanding deepens we can discover how our movements are a reflection of our mental state. Working with our physical, mental and energetic bodies all at the same time helps us to move toward real change.
We will learn the asanas in their classic form as well as from a developmental perspective; offering a deep understanding of why the body moves as it does. We will also see that movement or asana can start from the inner or outer body. Movement initiated from the inner body can be an expression of the organs, bringing awareness and health to the deeper systems of the body.
With this understanding we will begin to explore the body from a therapeutic perspective, applying the breath, Thai massage and some yoga therapeutic techniques. Please plan to depart US on Nov 23rd & arrive in San Jose before 10:00am on Nov 23rd.
