Warm Slow Healing Flow ~ Saturdays 8:45-10:00am starts 9/1

This flow based, detoxifying yoga encourages us to deeply listen to the body's innate wisdom, while teaching the foundations of breath work, safe alignment, and appropriate modifications for those that are new to yoga or seasoned practitioners who want to gradually work up to yoga in a heated room (80-85 degrees). All levels and beginners welcome. Please bring a towel, your own yoga mat (if possible), and water (be sure to hydrate before class). Cost: $50 for 4 weeks (recommended as space is limited), $15 drop in, All Levels welcome 

 

Hot Vinyasa Detox Yoga ~ Saturdays 10:30-11:45am starts 9/1 & Tuesdays 6-7:15pm Starts 9/4

Yoga in a heated room (90-95 degrees) enables our bodies to increase flexibility and wring out physical and emotional toxins that inhibit us from optimal well-being. Hot Yoga reminds us that physical challenge can lead the way to spiritual contentment by honoring and balancing effort with surrender. Please bring a towel, and perhaps your own mat, & bottle of water. It is best to eat 2 hours or more before a Hot Vinyasa practice and please HYDRATE RESPONSIBLY before, during, and after class. Recommended for yogis with experience or those that are accustomed to active exercise. Time: Sunday 4-5:15 pm, Cost: $50 for 4 weeks (recommended as space is limited) 

 

Self-Awakening Yoga Flow ~Mondays 6:15-7:30 Start dateTBA   Discover a deeper relationship with the eternal self through inquiry based movement and exploratory breath. Connect with your own inner wisdom through a physical yoga practice and find self-acceptance, peace, clarity, and strength of body, mind, and spirit. Each class will integrate a therapeutic approach and will be tailored to fit the intentions and needs of those present. All ages and levels of experience are welcome. Series dates and costs to be announced


Clay surfing in Nosara Costa Rica Yoga & Adventure Retreats in Costa Rica coming soon!
 
Ever since I studied in Costa Rica for a semester in College in 1998, this amazing place has always represented an openness to the creative flow of the universe. After again returning for my first 200 hour Yoga teacher training at the world renowned Nosara Yoga Institute, I knew I would always be returning to fill my cup with spiritually connected experiences that draw me into an appreciation of the present moment and a deep resonance with the essence of a mindful, artistic, and sustainable lifestyle.

Clay and I have returned for surfing twice, this past trip lasting almost a month. Our most recent trip was incredibly special as it offered Clay the opportunity to learn Spanish and to start to master surfing. For me, this trip was especially empowering as I also improved my surfing skills, but most importantly it represented a dream and a vision from long ago finally coming true because I conceived Clay shortly after returning from Costa Rica and envisioned he would become a bi-lingual surfing boy. It is easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget the essence of who we really are and I'm so grateful to have a place like Costa Rica to return to that inspires me and reconnects me with that which is most important: expressing our authentic selves.

I look forward to sharing these amazing experiences with others on future trips. Those that are inspired to join can look forward to experiencing a heart-opening culture, amazing beaches, amazing tropical biodiversity, daily yoga and meditation taught by Jen and other experienced teachers, and adventure tours including waterfalls, hot-springs, volcanoes, zip-lines, stand-up paddle boarding, surfing, and much more. Please email Jen@innerlightwellness.net for more information and to let me know you are interested in joining me on a trip to Costa Rica in Winter/Spring of 2013.
