Creating and Living the "Good Life"

Careyes Yoga Retreat

with Laura Christensen

February 23 - March 1, 2019

This will be Laura’s 15th retreat to Elixir de Careyes and every retreat is more magical than the last! Laura has developed a deep connection to this magical land and loves to share it with others. Beautiful new friendships always form, while old ones deepen and a real sense of community is experienced. You’ll enjoy Laura’s impassioned Dynamic Form Hatha Yoga classes each morning for 2.5 hours, and the deeply rejuvenating 1.5-hour Restorative Yoga practices in the late afternoon/evenings. Practical life-affirming discussions will be introduced for contemplation, and to inspire the creation and practice of living the “Good Life”. The classes will be taught in a progressive fashion with each class building upon the last so that your practice will deepen over the course of the week. It will include in-depth workshops on core strength, shoulder opening and stabilizing, hip opening and stabilizing, back-bending, spinal elongation, hamstring lengthening and forward bending, twists, inversions, arm balances and more. A supportive and friendly environment will be the foundation in which we dive into our journey and grow. With the help of the incredible staff in Careyes, Laura aims to make this a very memorable week for everyone.

This will be a very special and intimate gathering limited to a maximum of 9-11 guests in an exquisite location. Reserve your space early to ensure your spot!
