ESCAPE TO PARADISE: RIVIERA MAYA YOGA RETREAT WITH SAM CHASE
January 28 - February 2, 2012
Amansala Eco-Resort in Tulum, Mexico
Start the new year on a good foot by stepping away from the hum of daily life and into the warm sand and turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Join Sam, yoga teacher to the United Nations and holder of Kripalu Yoga’s highest teaching certificate, on the retreat of a lifetime as we explore the Riviera Maya’s most secluded and majestic areas, while savoring the relaxing beaches surrounding one of Tulum’s top-rated eco-resorts.
You’ll enjoy twice-daily yoga, fresh and delicious healthy cuisine to rejuvenate the body, as well as the chance to inspire the spirit with trips to the Mayan ruins, snorkeling in the Yucatan’s natural freshwater caves, or a lazy float through the mangrove forests of the Sian Ka’an biosphere. Schedule a massage or sip a mango margarita; settle into a sweat lodge or a Mayan mud bath. Every event is optional, so with each moment you can enjoy the group or choose your own adventure.
Packages ranging from $1105 - $1770 per person.
Contact Sam with any questions or to register today. See you in paradise!

Welcome...
"I teach from the simple philosophy that a yoga practice should meet us where we are and help guide us toward what we desire to become. For me, a yoga practice is most powerful when it is most personal--when it becomes less about following instructions from without and more about finding physical and mental balance from within. As a teacher, I focus on sharing the knowledge and tools to create a personally transformative yoga practice by blending freedom and conscious choice into the structure of each session. It's been my experience that each of us takes a unique path to develop skillfulness in body and mind, and harness that skill in action. Whether working one-on-one or in a group, we should feel that our practice is a choice, a challenge that we can meet with skill, and because each of us is unique, that uniqueness should be reflected in the shape of our yoga practice. In that sense, my highest aim as a teacher is simply to assist people in finding the road into yoga that is right for them, and then encouraging them along the journey."
