What a beautiful heart space Sivananda Yoga Retreat is and such a lovely flow: one moment you’re taking a yoga class, the next listening to incredible teachers from many different backgrounds or swimming in the warm clear blue Caribbean sea and soaking up the rays on beautiful paradise beach.

Yoga Vacation Program

November 4 — 6, 2019

Fine Tune Your Asana Practice

This program offers a special opportunity to fine tune and expand your practice to reach better alignment in your physical postures (asanas) and beyond. Over years of practice we sometimes fall into a routine or develop bad habits. This program will help realign your practice and take it to the next level.

Sylvie Boisclair (Saraswati) is a dynamic Sivananda Yoga teacher who draws her unique ability to teach yoga thoroughly and precisely from her background as a classically-trained dancer and teacher. She cumulates 35 years of research, practice, and teaching diverse forms of movement arts. She possesses a profound understanding of the workings of the human body and mind which allows her to empower her students to work their own miracles on and off the mat.
