VINYASA IMMERSION WITH NIKKI VILELLA AND JILLIAN TURECKI~2nd Annual Retreat
Treat yourself to 7 nights of pure bliss as Jillian 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, mountain biking, sea kayaking, snorkeling in the warm bubbles of Champaign 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.

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, Jillian 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. Jillian 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.

Accommodations, 2 yoga classes daily, 2 gourmet mostly vegetarian meals a day, reception/orientation dinner upon arrival, airport transfers, one 30 minute spa treatment, 4 excursions/activities, evening presentations on some nights, as well as government room and sales tax.

RECONNECT WITH YOUR OWN TRUE NATURE: AN IYENGAR YOGA AND ADVENTURE RETREAT WITH LAUREEN RUECKNER ~ 4th Annual Retreat
Laureen an d her husband, Wolfgang, return to Dominica for the 6th time (4th time hosting a retreat at Jungle Bay).
They
look forward to sharing with others the experience of practising 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 rain forest, 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 practise 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 shoulder stand 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.
This workshop is suitable for all levels of yoga experience.
Non-yoga participants will find much to do and are certainly welcome. |
