After class we’ll enjoy lunch or acai bowls in downtown La Jolla together and have an optional outing to La Jolla Cove to visit the Seals and or a light Hike along the La Jolla Coastal Trail. We’ll reconvene at sunset once again on the beach, then head to the backyard of our house for a fireside chat women’s circle and story re-writing/wiring. This night is sure to be power-full!
Sunday: Decompressed & ready to Depart
Begin the day with the 30/30/30 method. Morning Beach Meditation & Sun Salutations led by Jessica at Windansea Beach. Enjoy one class at The Prana Yoga Studio - most likely the early gentle class led by Pamela or you could choose a double duty session with Gerhard (if you dare!) Then come home for showers and packing and we’ll end with a closing community circle on the beach if your flight arrangements allow. Depart and go back home relaxed and renewed. No travel arrangmements or transport are included in this retreat. Ubers, car rentals, flights, etc will all need to be arranged individually. Throughout the entire retreat we will be able to walk everywhere (this is a walk heavy retreat so if needed you may want to look into bike rentals or ubers to get yourself to and from the house and the Prana Yoga Center - distance one way is 1 Mile) so you will only need to consider arrival and departure.
