 MEXICO • NOVEMBER 28 - DECEMBER 5, '09

The essence of yoga, for Eric, is to unravel the anxiety in our body/mind and to bow down humbly to the Source. Haramara is a stunning and serene retreat to allow this unfolding. Sink back into the warm waters of your body, while sunbathing and playing on the beach, learning to surf, or disappearing into the nearby jungles. Enjoy exquisite vegetarian meals (seafood available), served in an open air, palm thatched dining hall overlooking the jungle and Paciinstruments in celebration of Bhakti yoga, a practice of opening the heart and the vocal cords with devotion and surrender. Each day, enjoy two 2-hour vinyasa a refreshingly restorative one in the evening. Eric will also weave Thai Massage instruction, (the yoga of massage) into the daily yoga practice. PLAY, REST, RELAX, REJUVENATE and then PLAY some more...
