Two Pre-Conference Immersions to Suit Your Soul

Take the plunge and dive deep into the spirit of the Caribbean Yoga Conference with our pre-conference intensives, January 28−31, 2013, at Jakes’ Resort in tranquil Treasure Beach. We offer the choice of two unique immersions that provide you with the special opportunity to settle in Jamaica and deepen your CYC experience with some of our top faculty before delving into the main conference.

Sing Dance Fly: One Love Bhakti Healing

Jason Nemer and John de Kadt

This retreat  with AcroYoga co-founder Jason Nemer and master musician and healer John de Kadt will move your body, free your voice, and feed your soul in ways you never thought possible! Come play with exhilarating inversions and acrobatics; embark upon a musical journey that invites us to move and be moved by sacred sounds and rhythms; and experience insight into the healing power of bodywork, Ayurveda, and Chinese medicine. Each night culminates in a moonlit kirtan, call-and-response chanting of stirring mantras that create a loving vibe enhanced by the magic of Jamaica. No partner needed to join, just the desire to sing, dance, soar, and enjoy great company.

What Compels Us to Act: Giving from a Place of Connectedness

Billy Sadia and Nadine McNeil

Are you ready to dive into your seva? Billy Sadia, who hails from Kenya, and Nadine McNeil, from Jamaica, share how formative experiences in their respective homelands and the spirit of yoga have compelled them to act in the name of service. Their shared commitment to making a difference reveals how,  as human beings, we more alike than we are different. From this vantage we can then support and encourage others—and ourselves—along the path of service. This powerful intensive offers practical, effective tools that help us use yoga as a vehicle for taking our practice off the mat and into a vaster place of connectedness and love.

Cost: $395, plus a $7 processing fee. Both immersions include morning yoga classes, track workshops, and evening events.

Post-Conference Karma Retreat to Awaken Your Inner Activist

Want to continue your exploration of seva and celebrating your sangha (while spending some more time under the sun) after the main conference is over? Then join us on an unforgettable journey into the heart of Jamaica in this special five-day seva-based post-conference retreat led by Karma Krew co-founders Scott Feinberg and  Amy Lombardo.

Rise & Shine: A Sacred Activist Retreat, February 3−8, 2013, offers you the opportunity to stretch beyond the confines of your yoga mat and directly into the heart of the Jamaican community. Held at Jakes’ Resort in Treasure Beach, this retreat is dedicated to fostering the spirit of seva as we participate in outreach projects that support various social and environmental issues instrumental to the lives of many Jamaicans. Together, our sangha explores the power of turning inward and reaching outward, and how when these two actions are aligned, they lead to an extraordinary heart-opening both in our practice and in how we show up in the world.
