Newsletter 2014 – Vol.1


Dear Hot (Bikram) Yoga Lovers,
Happy New Year to everyone! The festive season has come to an end and we would like to recap and take this change to say thank you for an awesome Free Spirit Yoga Retreats year in 2013. We have been to Thailand, Mexico and Bali and back to Thailand which has been so great. We had people from so many different countries coming and joining our Retreats, whether it be the US, Canada, Europe, New Zealand or Australia. It has been such a pleasure meeting all of you and some great friendships have been created. Also a massive thanks to our teachers Naomi Clark, Afton Carraway, Celeste Cruz, Anna Hunter, Lucas Miles and Kate Brown for the great work they have done and classes/posture clinics they have held. We have all learned so much and I think the testimonials speak for themselves. And last but not least the hotels, their staff, our web designer,graphic designer and so many people we can’t even list here to say thank you for their work and help in 2013. Ok, but now enough said about this year, we look forward to 2014 and have some fantastic Retreats coming up in all parts of the world again. So here a bit of an overview about what is confirmed already.
In January 2014 ,we will be going to where we have been to first 12 years ago and couldn’t stop coming back since. Bocas is a group of hundreds of islands in the Caribbean of which only a few are inhabited. It literally is paradise. Think white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, and a hammock on every corner… We will spend a week doing Bikram Yoga & Surfing there in January and are just finalising our Yoga & Bootcamp week there in July 2014. Stay tuned for more details..In May 2014, we will go back to where it all started. We held our first ever Retreat at the Absolute Sanctuary on Koh Samui and from the first day it was clear to us already we had to go back. The best food, friendliest staff, fantastic heated jungle yoga studio and so much more… So from the 2nd to 9th May you have the chance again to lock your knees in paradise at the luxurious Absolute Sanctuary in Koh Samui, Thailand. The following month, in June 2014, we change continents and say HOLA MEXICO! This time we’re headed to the beautiful Caribbean town of Puerto Morelos (30 min from Cancun) – for a week with Yoga Champion and Bikram Yoga teacher Afton Carraway; delicious Mexican food, and a beautiful Villa across the street from one of the most beautiful beaches is waiting for us. If you haven’t seen the colour of the Ocean at the Riviera Maya you don’t know what turquoise water looks like… it is amazing. Then, in August 20, we’re heading back to Asia and return to Bali at the very stylish Vasanti Hotel in Seminyak. Our classes and posture clinics will be held at the wonderful facilities at the Jiwa Bikram Yoga Bali. There is really not much to say about Bali, you just have to experience it for yourself.. It’s magical… the beaches, the food, the temples, etc… And have you ever had a cocktail night at Potato Head? Not to be missed… Head to our retreat photo albums for impressions of past retreats. Phew – as you can see we’ve been keeping busy and we are still working on a few more Retreats with details to be out shortly.
