Join Kimberlee and Todd Stedl, the world-renowned authors of Yoga for Scuba Divers, for an unforgettable Scuba Diving and Yoga Adventure.

Experience this wonderful fusion of scuba diving and yoga. Enjoy diving the pristine reefs and spectacular 1,000-foot walls of Scotts Head Marine Reserve. The reefs of Dominica teem with life--Dominica was rated the #1 location for both healthy reefs and a healthy marine environment (Sport Diver magazine, 2006). You will have the chance to do a variety of dives including wall dives, drift dives, and a night dive.

If you're not an avid diver you can snorkel with us, or skip any day's dive trip and enjoy the many different hikes and tours. Or you can just lounge around at the resort, enjoying the relaxing scenery, yoga studio, outdoor pool, and spa treatments.

On this unique retreat, you will learn yoga routines specifically designed to help strengthen the body for diving and restore the body after a day of diving. You will learn some applied anatomy and body mechanics of diving as well as breathing and meditation to help you stay calm underwater for a more enjoyable dive experience.

DATES TO BE DETERMINED:

RECONNECT WITH YOUR OWN TRUE NATURE: AN IYENGAR YOGA AND ADVENTURE RETREAT WITH LAUREEN RUECKNER
Laureen and her husband, Wolfgang, return to Dominica for the 5th time (3rd time hosting a retreat at Jungle Bay).They look forward to sharing with others the experience of practicing the sacred art of yoga in a place of such unchanging beauty. Daily morning asana classes and several afternoon restorative classes will leave time to
participate in some unforgettable excursions. (Consider joining Wolf
on a breath-taking hike to the world's largest boiling volcanic lake!). Whether you are discovering the bounty of the rainforest, or sipping
rum punch, overlooking the pool, take time to get to know the people
of Dominica. They seem to have found some of the answers to life that
the rest of us seek.

Laureen began her practice of yoga in 1969 in the Caribbean! While
serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in St. Lucia, a French Canadian man, Jojo Jausserin taught her headstand and shoulderstand on the beach. When they returned to the U.S. two years later, Wolf and Laureen took their
first structured yoga class in the weight room at Brandeis University.
Laureen found her way to the Iyengar method, eventually studying with
many of the senior teachers, including B.K.S. Iyengar, and his
daughter, Geeta, on their visits to the U.S. Under the tutelage of
Senior Iyengar teacher, Patricia Walden, Laureen became certified at
the Junior 1 level and continues to study with, and assist, Patricia
in Cambridge, Ma.

Although this workshop is for mixed levels, some experience of yoga is necessary. Non-yoga participants will find much to do and are certainly welcome.
