SUMMARY:Mallorca Yoga Retreat at La Serrania
DESCRIPTION:The experience of visiting Mallorca for a yoga retreat\nThe island of Mallorca elicits an old memory from my first trip to Europe. I was 20 years old in 1978\, taking an overnight boat from Barcelona\, Spain to the Iberic islands on the Mediterranean sea. My destination was the island of Ibiza and the smallest island of Formentera. In the morning\, after a very rough journey on the sea\, we arrived in the port of Palma de Mallorca. Wow\, what a beautiful place and city. While I did not disembark on that April day in 1978\, I have returned these last 3 years to the city of Palma de Mallorca on the way to the retreat center\, la Serrania. You too will fly into this city on the way to our Mallorca yoga retreat. \nPalma has the distinct feel of being in Spain as well as being on an island. The city is very European with an elegant old world architecture crossed with the tiles and gardened courtyards of Spain. As well\, there is a very hip\, cosmopolitan feel in this old world city. The islands are a major destination for the European sun lovers\, particularly the British and Germans. I have really\, really enjoyed my time in this city and am always left longing for more. \nLa Serrania retreat center and surroundings\nJust outside the city\, on the 50 minute drive to the northern shore of Mallorca\, stretch many\, many miles of Olive and Almond orchards\, dotted with stunning colors of Bouganvilla and Oleanders. The landscape is filled with broad mountain vistas and long trails of ancient stone fences dividing the farmland and orchards. I get the feeling of abundance and a slower pace here in this arid\, island environment. The retreat center\, la Serrania (Serenity) is located on a mesa ridge overlooking a long and broad valley\, just 10 minutes outside the town of Pollenca. The only sound I hear is the wind and the clinking of the bells from the goat herds as they wander in the landscape. \nSo while there is the feeling of remoteness and peacefulness here\, we are indeed close to town and the Mediterranean sea for our yoga holiday.  \nAll are welcome… \n \nThe Basic Itinerary\nWe will arrive on Saturday afternoon\, get into our fantastic rooms\, and meet at 5 pm for a one and a half hour yoga practice\, welcome and introductions. The rooms themselves are large and spacious with lots of glass doors and windows opening out to terraced gardens. The rooms are stellar for sure and the bathroom/tubs are incredible. There are many patios around the main house as well as the awesome pool terrace and deck. (I did four weeks of painting workshops at la Serrania in 2002 and 2003\, so I’ve spent a lot of time working quietly in this Mediterranean garden). There is housing only for 16 people so the retreat is guaranteed to be intimate and special in this way. Our yoga room is the living room of the main house and we have plenty of space for our practice on a two-leveled surface. Again\, all the doors act as windows as well so everything reflects the light of this special environment. \nDining at la Serrania\nThere seems to be a nice European custom to gather for wine\, olives and almonds before our gourmet dinner. The food at la Serrania is exquisite. The cook for breakfast and lunch is a native Mallorqean woman who fixes us delicious local dishes along with a host of Spanish cheeses and breads. Dinner is prepared by the owner\, Tim Pinnel and his assistants\, and is a great gourmet feast at the end of the day. We take our meals on the terrace or in the dining room. \nYoga Practice and local excursions\nSunday will begin our yoga practice in earnest\, before and after our trip to the Pollenca farmers market. I love going to this market as there is a broad range of produce\, art objects\, flowers and everything else. We usually take Wednesday afternoon for an adventure day\, going on a trip to the sea and some fun tourists spots on the coast. \nI just love the feeling of being in Europe and watching how other people live and act. What a beautiful life and planet we have! \nWe will complete our practice on Friday late afternoon with six full days of practice\, and departure day will be Saturday.  \nPlease bring your yoga props if you have them\, a sticky mat\, block\, yoga blanket and eye bag. \nPrice and Registration\nPrice\n$1100/€1000 Double(two to a room)\n$1500/€1450 Single (one to a room)\n[Information subject to change] \nPayment in full due the day of your trip. \nContact Thomas at tmfortel@gmail.com for more information and to reserve your space today. \n \nDaily Schedule\n7:30 – 9:00 am: Stretch\, Meditation and Pranayama\n10:30 am – 12:30 pm: Active Morning Practice\n1:00 pm: Lunch/La Comida\n5:00 – 6:30 pm: Afternoon Restorative\, Forward Bends and Twists\n7:30 pm Dinner/Cena

SUMMARY:Esalen Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Yoga as a Journey of Being\n \n“In many ways\, our whole lives are a series of doorways and passages into new or forgotten ways of being\,” says Thomas Fortel. “Over time\, the practices of yoga can create a softening of habits and patterns\, a clarifying of mind\, and a gradual opening of the spiritual lotuses (chakras). All of this can lead to an expanded field of awareness beyond our personal ego\, and into a wellspring of life-force (energy) and our natural place in the ocean of consciousness. \n“One of the most profound environments for retreat is simply being in nature. Here on the cliffside\, overlooking the great expanse of the Pacific Ocean\, we’ll begin each morning with meditation and pranayama (conscious breathing) and continuing after breakfast with an active morning yoga practice. In the afternoons\, we’ll meet for the Esalen spiritual practice of lawn-lying\, gathering at various locations on the Esalen property as we study the energy of Mother Earth and Father Sun. We’ll conclude our days with restorative yoga and various topics of interest.” \nPlease have at least three months of recent yoga experience\, and bring a yoga mat. \nClick to register on Esalen Website

SUMMARY:A Retreat Practice - Yoga Source St. Louis
DESCRIPTION:I like to call these 3 hour classes\, A Retreat Practice….basically\, one hour Stretch and Pranyama\, one hour Active practice and one hour Restorative practice\, give and take on those transitions. \nI grew up and lived in STL 1958-1988\, and have been practicing yoga since 1982 and teaching since 1994. I lived in the Siddha Yoga ashram’s in NYC and east of Bombay\, 1988-89\, and moved to the Bay area 1990-1997. I then lived at the Esalen Institute 1997-2000. This place of Esalen opened me to a broader audience in the United Sates and Europe\, with many Euros coming to Esalen.\nI did a 3 year Intensive Teacher’s Training with Rodney Yee\, 1993-1996\, so am adept in the use of props for therapeutic purposes. And from my experience as an RN\, I have a keen understanding of the body\, it’s physiology and anatomy \nAlong with teaching hatha yoga\, I was very lucky to have spent many years as a student of Bhakti yoga\, going to the ashram and learning Meditation and to experience the Power of Chanting and Devotion. From this personal experience of being a student in the ashram\, I have an ability to create a similar experience in the yoga retreats I offer. \nI’ve been offering Yoga Retreats from the beginning of my teaching in 1994\, first in Mt. Shasta each summer\, and now Yelapa\, Mexico since 2000\, Mallorca\, Spain since 2002. \nI have been coming to STL twice a year since 1994\, offering classes and being a part of the STL yoga community. I am thrilled to be back at Yoga Source. Come join us for practice!

SUMMARY:Winter Yoga Retreat: Yelapa with Thomas Fortel and Sarana Miller
DESCRIPTION:Arriving from different places\, our Yelapa adventure begins as we touch down at Puerto Vallarta International airport. Despite the large name\, the PV airport is relatively small and quite expedient in view of the number of tourists they handle per day. Getting your luggage and going through customs is a breeze and out to a taxi you go heading for the pier in the old town of Vallarta. Some of you lucky ones will be able to arrive early\, staying in Vallarta for some days\, or perhaps adding time on the tail of your trip. While there are a lot of large and loud drinking Americans there\, I really enjoy the Mexican charm and vibrancy of this beautiful port city. \nYelapa is a small town or village on a large cove or bay on the southernmost rim of the Bahia de Banderas\, the Bay of Flags. There are no roads to Yelapa so the contact of the village with Vallarta is via water taxi. When we board the boat for Yelapa we take another step onto our adventure. As I leave the dock\, I always have the feeling that we are leaving the known and familiar and venturing into a shamanic journey of sorts. There is a feeling of remoteness and solitude on the beach\, and in the village and river valley of Yelapa. On the 40 minute ride I have witnessed whales\, schools of dolphins\, turtles and manta rays; not all on one journey\, but the water life is really incredible. For those who have been to Yelapa before\, the Hotel Lagunita stands on the far left side of the beach while the village is on the far right side of the bay. The hotel itself was built by an amazing artist with extensive rock\, stone\, brick and bamboo structures and walkways. The rooms are done in Polynesian and art deco motifs. They are spacious\, colorful\, and all have full bathrooms\, running water and 24 hour electricity. The hotel is perched on the edge of the Pacific Ocean so the sound of the sea is enormous\, present with us day and night. The hotel seems to be placed in the middle of a garden with beautiful palms and tropical plants everywhere.. \n \nItinerary\nArriving at Hotel Lagunita\, we will get our room assignments and meet before dinner for an orientation and introduction. Our yoga practice begins on Sunday morning and concludes with the morning practice on Saturday. That’s six full days of yoga practice. \nDaily Schedule\n7:00-8:30 Stretch\, Meditation and Pranayama\n8:30 -10:00 Active morning practice*\n10:00 am breakfast\n11:00 am – 5:00 pm: free time to be on the beach\, resting and rejuvenating; lunch is during this time\, ordering off the menu sometime before 3 pm.\n5:00-6:30 pm: afternoon restorative practice\n7:30 pm: dinner\n*shortened morning practice on Wednesday \n \nPrice and Registration\nPrice: $1\,250 Double\, $1\,500 Single USD \nPrice of retreat includes food\, housing\, tip for hotel staff. Cost of the retreat does not include: airfare\, bar-tab\, water taxi\, massage and spa services. \nPrint the Registration Form\, fill out the form\, and mail along with your deposit to: \nThomas M. Fortel \nPO Box 684 \nBig Sur CA\, 93920 \n$500 deposit due by January 31\, 2017. Payment in full due the day of your trip. \nPlease contact Thomas if you have questions or need additional information. \n \nMore Information\nThere are many fisherman and boats for hire should you want to take a fishing or pleasure trip on the ocean/bay. We will organize a hiking trip up the river valley to a local waterfall for Wednesday. This is a popular hike each year and the only time we venture away from the ocean. Otherwise our time is spent on the beach\, in the sun or shade\, playing\, doing art work\, reading and being massaged by the magnificent environment of the natural world. \nThe food at Hotel Lagunita is fantastic. Breakfast begins with a fresh fruit platter\, granola and yogurt\, and then you are welcome to order any breakfast item you like off the menu. Lunch is taken on your own time and convenience before 3:00 pm and is also ordered off the menu. There are a few fresh fish restrictions (lobster and large prawns)\, otherwise ordering as you wish. There will be a large green salad and aquas frescas (fruit punches) served for dinner\, then any of two entrees\, either fresh fish or meat. Desert is served with the evening meal. \nI love going to Mexico each year\, in the middle of the California rainy season\, to practice yoga with friends and fellow students\, to swim in the big ocean\, and expose myself to the kiss of the sun. I warmly welcome you to this most excellent time of yoga and fun in the sun.
