The Carneros Inn 2009 Yoga Retreat Descriptions

Day Long Yoga Retreats and 1/2 Day Mini-Retreats
Come to relax, renew, and restore in wine country!
Expand and deepen your yoga practice with Carneros Inn yoga instructor Janna Barkin. This year, in addition to our popular One Day Yoga Retreats, we are also offering 1/2 Day Mini-Retreats. Both include use of the pools, fitness center, grounds, bocce courts, and restaurants. Enhance your experience by adding a treatment at THE SPA and enjoy unlimited use of the spa sauna and steam room.

Day Long Yoga Retreats
In the morning, we'll link movement and breath with an invigorating Anusara-inspired flow practice. In the afternoon, we’ll share a quieter session of long-held, deep releasing asanas. Between the two sessions, you’ll enjoy a delicious luncheon prepared by the Chefs of The Carneros Inn, and you might want to indulge in a spa treatment, spend time in the fitness center, swim and soak, or just enjoy the grounds and surrounding beauty.

About the instructor: Janna’s love for yoga was sparked in 1988, and as her practice deepened she was drawn to teaching. Janna’s classes invite a joyful opening in body, mind, and heart. Her style combines a playful passion for the practice with a strong understanding of universal alignment principles, as taught by John Friend, founder of Anusara Yoga. She is deeply grateful to John and to her main teacher, Ulrika Engman, for their inspiration and guidance on the yoga path.
