Anusara Yoga Retreat in Mexico: Open to Grace

With Certified Anusara Teacher Alexis Britton

January 28 – February 1, 2009

This inspirational workshop will be held in San Miguel Allende, Mexico at the lovely Sagrada Wellness Country Inn and Wellness Retreats. Enjoy luxurious eco-conscious bungalows with views, artisan cuisine, spa treatments and deep relaxation.

During these four days Alexis will guide you through an Anusara Practice that will ignite your heart and connect you to the Divine Flow of Grace that resides in all. The beauty and grace of the individual is celebrated in each Asana.
Wednesday 4 pm to 5 pm begins with a gentle practice to ground the body and to relax into a state of ease and comfort. Poses that will both relax and nurture will be presented as the week of Opening to Grace begins.

Thursday to Friday classes will be a fun and lively and will include Anusara Yoga Therapy tips.

Classes will assist you to align and enhance your established practice or simply introduce you to a way to use the Asanas to benefit your body and to align with nature for the greatest benefit and joy. The alignment principles developed by John Friend, Anusara’s founder, will be the guide for our practice. We will continue to explore the connection within our hearts and to the Flow of Grace.

Friday’s classes will include upside down poses, and many partner poses. As we build confidence in ourselves and in others we connect to the joy inside.

Saturday morning is designed as a Restorative Yoga Class. Restorative poses will be done using props and supports. This class will be a very, very relaxing and rejuvenating practice. We seldom take the time to consciously relax; this practice will take you there!

Saturday afternoon, the last practice together, will incorporate all that has been developed both through the practices and through the connection to the Divine Grace that flows within.

All levels of student may attend
