Yoga Lifestyle Immersion
with Tom Gillette
and the Eyes of the World teachers
at the Avalon Inn
Come to one or all three programs. Two yoga classes a day, hikes in nature, chanting, meditating, great food, good friends. Clean up your diet. Clean up your life. Free extra night if you do two programs in a row. If you and a friend/spouse sign up together and are sharing a room, one of you is welcome to skip the yoga program and just enjoy the island.
Meditation and Yoga Retreat
Part One May 14 - 16, 2010
two nights, three days
Combining the complementary practices of yoga breathing, chanting and meditation, we come together to discover and celebrate the power of the heart. Through teachings, stories, guided meditations, and question-and-answer sessions, we will go within to access our own inner knowledge and to open to deeper levels of wisdom and joy. We will be reading Jack Kornfield's book "After the Ecstacy, the Laundry." Please bring a copy.
The Upanishads and Yoga
Part Two May 17 - 20, 2010
three nights, four days
(extra night free if you clean your room)
The Upanishads are the best kept secret of the Yogic tradition. Filled with parables, stories and insights, they were the further revelations of the yoga masters explaining the core principles of the "non-dual" Vedanta philosphy in ordinary terms that any layman can understand. Come enjoy this relaxing yoga retreat that finds the balance between hatha yoga and self-study. We will be reading Eknath Easwaran's version of the Upanishads. Please bring a copy.
Yoga, Nature and Thoreau
Part Three May 21 - 23, 2010
two nights, three days
Doing simple yoga in a natural setting is a glorious experience for the newcomer or seasoned veteran. Drawing upon the vibrancy of the ocean, the earth, the sun and the sky while you align your body, breath and mind, can create a completely exhiliarating moment, one that produces lasting memories. We will be reading from Thoreau's classic "Walden" to inspire our yoga at the beach, yoga in the wild and "Hill Yoga." The Avalon Inn has a wrap around deck with extraordinary views that we can use if the weather is somewhat inclement. Please bring a copy of "Walden" by Henry David Throeau.

You are in for a treat! Angela is in the kitchen! She will be serving up amazing, delightful gourmet vegan meals. When vegan food is done really well, you won't know it's vegan. You just know it just is fresh and healthy and full of the digestive enzymes food is meant to have.
We are lucky to have an accomplished chef, Angela Brooks nuturing our bodies and souls with a bountiful array of tasty delights. Even if you are not so interested in yoga, you might want to come just for her recipes. An experience in itself!
Please note: We will offer a secondary breakfast option of organic eggs, coffee and tea in the morning for those who want it.
