VINYASA IMMERSION WITH NIKKI VILELLA AND JILIAN TURECKI~3nd Annual Retreat

Treat yourself to 7 nights of pure bliss as Jilian and Nikki help you to relax and rejuvenate during this week-long vinyasa immersion at Jungle Bay Resort and Spa. Two yoga classes will be offered daily in Jungle Bay's 2,400 foot yoga studio that offers spectacular ocean views. Each morning begins with 2 hours of strong solar flow focusing on energizing pranayama, flowing standing sequences, and core strengthening. The afternoons can be spent as you choose: hiking throughout Dominica's lush tropical forests, sea kayaking, snorkeling in the warm bubbles of Champagne Beach, visiting the Spa du Soleil, relaxing with your feet up at the volcanic stone swimming pool, or taking a siesta in your tropical hardwood cottage perched high above the water. Early evening classes will be lunar flow, focusing on hip-opening, forward bending, restorative postures, and guided meditation. Finish the day listening to the soothing sounds of the rainforest as they help rock you into a sound sleep.

Nikki Vilella has been practicing yoga for the past nine years. She teaches at and considers Kula Yoga Project in NYC, her home. You can also find her at other studios in Manhattan and in her home borough of Brooklyn. Nikki teaches a physically rigorous vinyasa class, where students are guided through complex asana sequences that manipulate the physical body in a way that will ultimately free your spirit and your mind. Her goal is to help you find freedom in the most challenging of asanas through a disciplined, intelligently sequenced, alignment based flow that will prepare you both physically and mentally to explore deeper variations later in class. She will show you how to turn a creative and innovative vinyasa sequence into an intimate dance with your breath. She is attracted to the ability yoga has to combine precise physical movement, intelligence, and intention into one sweaty, uplifting experience. She was certified at Laughing Lotus collage of yoga and names Schuyler Grant and Alison Novie of Kula Yoga amongst her greatest influences.

After years of walking on concrete, Jilian Turecki, native Manhattanite started practicing yoga so she could touch her toes. Nine years later she can definitely touch her toes, and is helping others to get deep within their bodies. Jilian has been teaching privately for four years, and has been teaching at Kula Yoga Project for the past three, where she guides students through creative "kula flow" classes which are strongly influenced by her asusara knowledge. She hopes to offer her students solid information as well as the opportunity to nestle deep into the energetics of the practice.
