45th Sanibel Escape
on
Sanibel Island

Spring - , 2024
with Bobbi Goldin
Sanibel Island Retreat
Since the early 1980's Yoga Miami - Bobbi Goldin has
been bringing folks together to share Yoga and time on an island that welcomes
all with open arms. The Gulf of Mexico is warm and calm for us. The sand
is white, smooth and covered with amazing shells of all sizes and shapes,
some with shy creatures living inside. The air is sweet with aromas of nature.
Stars are so bright that walking the beach at night rarely requires a flashlight.
The Iyengar Yoga sessions are intentionally designed to keep us in tune with
the harmony of ourselves and the glorious nature around us... for a whole
week. This combination has brought people back for this course year after
year. So, for the 45th time, this is an invitation to
join a congenial group in rejuvenating mentally, physically and emotionally
with Yoga and nature. If it is safe, come and explore with me, Bobbi, Yoga and nature on
Sanibel Island, Spring - , 2024.
The decision on whether it is safe
to the hold the retreat this year will be announced soon.
The Yoga Course
All levels will be encouraged to stimulate their minds and bodies by expanding known boundaries and letting go from the INSIDE. This internal acceptance brings calmness to the mind as we gain confidence and self-assuredness. The Iyengar Method of Hatha Yoga will be the basis of the course, which includes balancing flexibility with strength, building endurance and refining our bodies with correct alignment; passive poses and reclining pranayama. Previous experience is not required. Please bring a Yoga "sticky mat" and a sturdy belt, along with an open mind and sense of humor. We will have mats and belts for sale; the mind and humor must come with you. Classes are held in a bright Hall, which is biking, walking or driving distance (2 miles) from our beach housing. Between classes there is time for biking (rentable), and all kinds of beach and water sports. Massage therapists will be available for our group. We will be fortunate to have Jane Barrett assisting in our yoga sessions. Jane has been teaching and practicing Iyengar Yoga for more than thirty years and is known for her knowledge of Yoga, as well as her good nature. Jane is the Director of the Raleigh Yoga Center in North Carolina. Evenings are free time with optional planned events. Catch the magnificent sunsets at Blind Pass between Sanibel and Captiva Islands.
