cross-training/vacation opportunity - Pilates Retreat in 2011
Thought I'd pass along this information to anyone who might be interested in spending a week (or two!) on the Baja Peninsula of Mexico, at an eco-friendly resort...
...on the beach
...that serves all meals from scratch using fresh, mostly locally-grown organic ingredients
...with pilates classes at an on-site bamboo floor studio with ocean and mountain views
...and a daily sunrise stretch class on the beach
...and a gorgeous outdoor pool and hot tub area
...and massage and other spa services available for an additional fee
Interested? There will be a week-long structured Pilates Retreat with a spritual/healing focus from Jan 29 - Feb 5, 2010. Details here.
There will also be a 2nd more casual Pilates Holiday week from Feb 5 - Feb 12, 2010. Details here.
My friend/mentor/colleague Kathleen Conklin owns a pilates studio here in Madison, and I occasionally teach pilates at her studio. Last January I had the opportunity to participate in the 2010 retreat as an assistant to Kathleen, and it was an amazing experience. The Prana del Mar facility is entirely solar-powered, they reclaim and reuse all of their waste water, and they have an amazing organic vegetable garden that provides a good portion of the food for the meals.
The cost for each week is really quite reasonable for an all-inclusive retreat. Kathleen is exploring the possibility of shifting her business focus to mainly retreats like this, and since this is only her 2nd retreat she's still just charging enough to cover all of her costs and her time. There is a max of only 24 people per week.
I'm happy to share pictures and/or more information if you're interested. Feel free to reply here or PM or email me if you want more info.
