Theresa MortinAbout the Teacher
Theresa Morin, R.Y.T./B.E.D.
Thirteen years ago Theresa was drawn to yoga to relieve the aches
and pains caused by running , cycling and skiing. It soon became obvious that yoga was much more than a good stretch. Theresa found that her yoga practice increased body awareness, strengthened balance, improved mobility, and deepened concentration.

Since then Theresa has studied many different traditions including Iyengar, Ashtanga, Anasara, and Vinyasa Flow Yoga. This eclectic background is reflected in her teaching style. Presently, she teaches studio classes, school groups, young athletes, and private lessons.
Because the philosophy of yoga has enriched her life even more than the asanas, these guiding principles find their way into her daily practice and teachings.

The Food
Shani CranstonYou will be nourished with Prana-infused organic meals prepared by Shani Cranston of Milagro Retreats with love and consciousness. Daily breakfast, lunch and dinner will be included in your package. Most meals will be vegetarian, with fresh fish and seafood served occasionally throughout the week.

Raw Concepts and Living Food will be incorporated into the menu to encourage healthy eating habits. The kitchen is an open concept and you are welcome to join Shani and learn with ‘hands on’ preparation. She will be creating divine dishes such as Avocado Gazpacho, Raw Almond Mylk and Vegan Chocolate Pudding.

Transformational Breathwork
An introduction to the powerful self healing process of Transformational Breathwork with Robin Clements will enrich your experience.
Transformational Breath Is:

• A permanent relaxation technique that causes our innate joy to permeate our totality.
• The art of bringing the Spirit Body back into full contact with the physical body, and restore the connection between the mind and body.
• Causes the integration of suppressions and permanent clearing of the subconscious mind
• And much much more...
