What is ISTA Yoga?
ISHTA stands for Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra, and Ayurveda, or a combination of physical, energetic, and healing practices. But ISHTA has a double meaning that stretches back to the very roots of yoga. ISHTA is also a Sanskrit word translating to ‘that which resonates with the individual spirit,’ emphasizing the personal journey we encourage and guide our students to embrace. Basically the mission of the ISHTA style encourages contentment and calm through the melding of breath, flow, strength building, alignment and meditation.
Kavi Yogi Swarananda Mani Finger and his son, Alan Finger, created ISHTA Yoga in the late 1960’s in South Africa. Take advantage of this marvelous opportunity to experience ISHTA yoga from Alan Finger, the ISHTA master himself!
Daily itinerary includes:
* Rejuvenating morning flow asana practice with Sarah and Julie, followed by 45 minutes of Alan’s signature ISHTA meditation.
* Stimulating afternoon philosophy lecture with Alan, followed by relaxing restorative practice with Sarah.
* The rest of the days are yours to plan. Whether you decide to take a nature walk, lay by the white sandy beach or the double infinity pool, play tennis, go golfing, or take advantage of the many spa treatments available at the resort, you will certainly come back from this amazing experience feeling completely regenerated.
Special Note for Beginners: All levels are welcome during these 5 delicious days of retreat and rejuvenation.

at the Harmony Hotel
in Playa Guiones, Nosara, Costa Rica

Guests are greeted in Liberia, Costa Rica on Sunday, August 1st and depart the following Saturday, August 7th.
For more details, please read below.

Single Occupancy: US$2,295.00
Double Occupancy: US$1,850.00* (per person)
*Shared King Bed at the Harmony Hotel
Yoga Instruction with Karl Spaeth
Surf Instruction by Innocent Surf School, Nosara
Yoga and surfing, a natural combination, is perfected in this program at Playa Guiones, one of the beaches of Nosara, the home of uncrowded surfing and unspoiled beaches. Start your day with surfing lessons on the warm water waves of the Pacific Ocean and in the late afternoon, enjoy a rejuvenating yoga practice amidst tropical beauty.
Learn more about the combined yoga and surfing experience!
If you are looking to begin or deepen your yoga practice, and learn or improve your surfing (and have fun, of course!) – join us in pristine Playa Guiones, on the Northwest Coast of Costa Rica! You’ll learn from outstanding yoga and surfing professionals, while taking in the tropical beauty and magnificent ocean surf of your surroundings. Our dinners are out on the town, offering exposure to the local vibe and nightlife.
“I have a huge crush on the place and hope that something always brings me
back to the beach there ~ thanks for introducing me to Nosara…”
- Carl von Bernuth – reflection of a yogasurfer a month later
This fabulous yoga retreat package includes:
• 6 nights deluxe accommodations at the Harmony Hotel
• Daily yoga classes and one massage
• Excellent Surf lessons
• Huge breakfasts
• Dinners
• Transfers from Liberia or Nosara airports
The Harmony Hotel is simply gorgeous! Inspired by the old school tropical destinations of the eras that appreciated low key glamor and total escape, Harmony Hotel is the perfect setting for people to unwind and get in tune with their natural rhythm.
The graceful simplicity of earth tones and crisp whites creates rooms that are rooted in nature and beach life at the Harmony.
All 24 accommodations reside on a path that meanders through a tropical garden overflowing with native vegetation. And the ears do not lie—that is the sound of waves. The path ends nearby at the warm, inviting Pacific Ocean.
Surf Instruction with Innocent Surf School 
About Us:
Teaching surfing is the most rewarding thing we know. Like all teaching, however, it’s not easy. You have to get stuck into the “hows” + “whys” of everything + then explain it in a way that is interesting + funny. There are lots of wonderful people teaching surfing for love or money, all over the world, but there are also some scallywags that just send you in the sea with an unqualified surfer. We don’t think that’s very fair. Being a surfer is very different to being a surf coach. Innocent surf instructors are all qualified BSA surf coaches which means we have, ourselves, been trained + tested in how to teach surfing. We are also certified beach lifeguards, qualified in ocean safety and first aid.
Daily yoga classes are held in the lovely yoga studio at the Harmony Hotel and combine traditional asana to invigorate and strengthen with restorative and yin yoga styles to relax and unwind. Poses that are especially beneficial to surfing, like ones that focus on balance and core strengthening, are also practiced and discussed in detail. This is a great program for both men and woman, from beginners to all levels of yoga.
How to get to Nosara
Nosara is just over a 2-hour drive from the airport at Liberia, served by Delta, American, US Air and Continental. Delta has added a direct flight from Los Angeles to Liberia, departing on Fridays and returning on Saturdays. Our package includes transfers from Liberia or Nosara airport on August 1st and August 7th, and we will assist with your transportation if you arrive on other days…

If you fly into San Jose there are domestic flights to Nosara that are approx. 45 minutes in duration. For more information, prices, schedules and weight restrictions (small & strictly enforced) please contact:

Surf Instruction with Innocent Surf School
About Us:
Teaching surfing is the most rewarding thing we know. Like all teaching, however, it’s not easy. You have to get stuck into the “hows” + “whys” of everything + then explain it in a way that is interesting + funny. There are lots of wonderful people teaching surfing for love or money, all over the world, but there are also some scallywags that just send you in the sea with an unqualified surfer. We don’t think that’s very fair. Being a surfer is very different to being a surf coach. Innocent surf instructors are all qualified BSA surf coaches which means we have, ourselves, been trained + tested in how to teach surfing. We are also certified beach lifeguards, qualified in ocean safety and first aid.
Daily Yoga classes are held in the beautiful open-air Yoga studio at the Harmony Hotel and combine traditional asana to invigorate and strengthen with yoga therapeutics and restorative styles to heal, repair, relax and unwind. Poses that are especially beneficial for surfing, like ones that focus on balance and core strengthening, are also explored deeply. This is a great program for both men and woman, from beginners to all levels of yoga.
How to get to Nosara
Nosara is just over a 2-hour drive from the airport at Liberia, served by Delta, American, US Air and Continental. Delta has added a direct flight from Los Angeles to Liberia, departing on Fridays and returning on Saturdays. Our package includes transfers from Liberia or Nosara airport on April 4th and April 10th, and we will assist with your transportation if you arrive on other days.
Or, for your convenience you can fly from San Jose to Nosara
If you fly into San Jose there are domestic flights to Nosara that are approx. 45 minutes in duration. For more information, prices, schedules and weight restrictions (small & strictly enforced) please contact:

Yoga Adventure in the French Alps
~inward bound is delighted to announce~
A Yoga Adventure in the French Alps
Corrine Champigny
August 17 – 26, 2010
and
August 31 – September 9, 2010
Chamonix Valley, France
Information and reservations:
Both excitement and relaxation await you at this mountain yoga retreat in stunning Chamonix Valley of France. Discover the charm of the French Alps as you immerse yourself in a seven-day yoga adventure. In addition to daily yoga and meditation, we’ll offer an array of activities for you
to choose from including majestic hiking, guided rock climbing and walks to nearby villages.
Chamonix is a delightful mountain village with the cobbled-street charm of centuries past, and the sophistication of a modern resort town–creative restaurants, lovely shops, abundant bakeries, and a historical alpine museum. Our adventures will include a trip up the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world for a panoramic view the French, Swiss and Italian Alps and Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe. We’ll visit France’s longest glacier, the Mer de Glace, take several lovely hikes amidst pine forests and breathtaking scenery, explore the beautiful medieval town of Annecy, take a day of guided rock climbing, and allow free time to explore the village, try the valley’s spectacular paragliding, or simply relax and bask in the sublime views from our Chalet’s expansive deck.
To learn more about your retreat facilitator, Corrine, as well as prices, travel and the itinerary – please visit the retreat site: Yoga Adventure France
A Yoga Retreat can be a powerful experience anywhere, even in our own homes. Yet when we come together with a community of like minds in a place far from our busy lives, the immersion of yoga promises to be deep and all consuming with the potential to transform at the cellular level so we can bring the peace that we truly are into our daily lives back home.
Chamonix is one of the prettiest places on earth
with majestic snow capped mountains, crystal clear lakes and old style European charm. Discover your true nature in the awe-inspiring countryside of the French Alps for a transformation experience.
Open to all. No prior yoga experience necessary; yoga beginners are absolutely welcomed, as well as advanced yogis. Melissa and Corrine have created a beautifully balanced schedule of both activities and leisure time. Each participant is encouraged to follow their own needs and do as much or as little in the schedule as they desire.
Message from Corrine Champigny:
The question is indeed ‘to be or not to be’. Hmmm. We have all heard ‘we are human beings not human doings’ so we should be more and do less. It is my belief that most of us are meant to LIVE life. Most of us are not meant to take off to the Himalayas and escape from our lives permanently. I see a lot of that living in India, especially in our beloved Tiru (Tiruvannamalai), where people come searching and feel that if they leave their lives behind, they will find God. But God is in life and living life. By the way, the people that try to escape their lives still have their minds with them in India. And their mind is their fundamental problem.
When was the last time you did a retreat? And I don’t mean vacation, as that is an entirely different meaning and intent. I am talking about actually retreating from your life for a weekend or week. A retreat is a time to regroup, to rest and rejuvenate, to step away from our lives so that we can return home with a different perspective. Because isn’t life a matter of perspective? Have you seen the movie ‘Click’ with Adam Sandler? This is a great example of what I am talking about. The main characters entire life changes direction as he is able to click fast forward in his life and skip the uncomfortable parts, but then he ends up missing his entire life. Then, when he is able to go back and start again, he appreciates the little misfortunes, fights with his wife etc. as he has a new perspective.
I have had the great fortune of being able to attend many, many life- changing retreats. I started off with TM (Transcendental Meditation) years ago and then discovered the wonderful retreats at Deepak Chopra’s Center for Well Being. I continued immersing myself in yoga trainings which took me deeper still where at times I was meditating for four and five hours a day.
Now it is my pleasure to offer retreats in India, yoga studios across the country and now Europe. It is my joy in life to share the bliss of our true nature with others through the practices of meditation, yoga and mindful living. Our true nature is peace. Isn’t that what we are all searching for, inner peace? It may look like we are searching for gratification or happiness but it all comes down to a feeling of contentment. We are delighted to offer two yoga retreats this summer in stunning European locations. Very limited space so please email early.
