with Melina Meza & Chiara Guerrieri

JANUARY 14-19, 2009  
Register Early! to hold your spot

Ready to awaken to endless sunshine, beautiful stretches of black sand beaches, the sound of the surf playfully lapping at the nearby shore, and the fresh sea breeze blowing in off the Pacific Ocean? If so, we’ve got the yoga retreat for you this winter.

With the ocean as our backdrop, Melina Meza and Chiara Guerrieri will two lead daily experiential classes in hatha yoga, meditation, and pranayama. Daily classes will be complemented by mini-workshops on yoga anatomy, nutrition, and how to design a home practice. The retreat promises to be enlightening, inspiring, and fun as Melina and Chiara bring a playful yet grounded energy to all of the retreats that they teach.

You will leave the retreat with a sense of joy, ecstasy, and the peace that comes from connecting with yourself in one of the most beautiful places on earth, where the sun, sea, and sky come together in a place constantly filled with summer in the midst of the winter season in which we will retreat.

About Waimea Plantation Cottages-
This cluster of authentic plantation homes, set in a peaceful coconut grove, surrounded by banyan groves, opens to groomed large expanses of lawn lined with beds of colorful and fragrant tropical flora. Each cottage has been carefully restored with period-inspired furniture and modern conveniences. Every cottage has a full kitchen and a front porch overlooking the grassy lawn, but each one has a personality and decor all its own. Waimea Plantation Cottages were voted #1 romantic cottages by Sunset Magazine in 2007.

Enjoy the beachside pool, stroll or jog along the black sand beach, and discover the shady hammocks and lawn chairs placed among the trees. A full range of services are available at the onsite day spa. Delicious meals are served at the Waimea restaurant or can be found in the nearby town called Waimea.

There are many additional activities you can enjoy during your free time at or near Waimea Plantation Cottages, including volleyball, hiking, golfing, fishing, boat cruises, horse back riding, surf lessons, or hula lessons.
