YOGA AND PILATES
with Michelle Gantz
November 13-17, 2007

Join Michelle for an invigorating vacation that blends Vinyasa yoga and pilates. Together, we’ll experience how the focused control of pilates and the expanding movements of yoga harmonize and complement one other. In the mornings, we’ll enjoy mindful, lengthening yoga classes rooted in the principles of pilates. And in the afternoons, our classes will focus on the stabilizing and strengthening exercises of pilates, maintaining a yogic attitude. This unique combination of yoga and pilates will leave you feeling toned, balanced and tuned in. Best of all, you'll have plenty of time between classes to relax in a hammock on the beach.

Your Via Yoga classes will take place in a fabulous, oceanfront Palapa, just steps from the beach with the waves from the ocean crashing before you.

Your vacation program includes:

• Two 90 minute classes each day in a stunning palapa on the beach
• Four night’s accommodations at Las Alamandas,
• Three organic meals daily (vegetarian options available)
• A one hour private in-room massage (or in an outdoor palapa near the ocean)

Meals:
