Sole Yoga Holidays is overjoyed to return to our very special luxury Zanzibar, Tanzania Yoga and Wellness Holiday, January 12-18, 2020. This slice of blue heaven is the ultimate & exotic Indian Ocean yoga and wellness experience, with its fascinating historical Stone Town and magnificent beaches. Zanzibar is located about 25 miles/40 km from the Tanzanian coast. It is characterized by beautiful white sandy beaches with fringing coral reefs, and the magic of the historic and famous Stone Town. It is a retreat unlike any other filled with beauty everywhere you look!
Our retreat takes place at a gorgeous and private villa, which sits at the edge of Jambiani, a village along the east coast of the island of Zanzibar. The modern style and the Swahili style are elegantly combined, both in the structure and in the furnishings. The property consists of three separate buildings, connected by quiet patios and serene living spaces, all surrounded by a lush tropical garden and happy, singing birds. Relax in full luxury under a grass Swahili pavilion while listening to the Indian ocean. The villa will be just ours for the week and there will be plenty of gorgeous areas to relax, unwind and recharge in this magnificent slice of paradise. The rooms are decorated in gorgeous style with local inspiration at every corner.
All of the luxury amenities you will need for your special week are included such as WiFi, luxurious linens and towels, air conditioning, fans and divine en-suite baths. Plus, colorful pareos for after swimming in the pool.
Twice per day we will practice yoga by the beautiful pool with the sounds of only the Indian Ocean and sweet birds to accompany us! Your host, Shari will guide you through a vinyasa flow and during the week we will include a yin and restorative session. As always, Shari will listen to what the group needs and adjust accordingly for the best yoga experience!
There are 2 incredible excursions on our special retreat:
The Stone Town tour is a unique opportunity to learn about the soul of Zanzibar. We will explore the famous doors and learn about the history of this fascinating town, It will be our time to shop for incredible items from artwork to spices to gorgeous fabrics. And we will get a fabric (of our choosing) and then our private tailor will create one outfit that you create! How fantastic is that?
We will take a gorgeous, semi-private wooden boat where we cross a seascape dotted with small atolls, uninhabited islands and white sandbanks. We will then dock at a small island where under a gorgeous canopy we will enjoy a lunch of the freshest grilled fish, shellfish and fruit. Along the way, we will stop at famous Prison Island to learn a bit about its history and visit (and feed!) the tortoises (some almost 200 years old). It is an unforgettable experience.
Shari discovered the positive effects of yoga over 15 years ago in California. Her journey included numerous disciplines, but it wasn't until Ashtanga that she found her true passion and was certified in 2010 in Italy. Shari enjoys teaching a vigorous, playful, and challenging Ashtanga flow class. She hopes through her teaching she can inspire others with the grace and love that she has found. Shari has been leading yoga retreats and holidays for over two years in amazing locations from Belize to India, to Morocco, and all over her adopted and gorgeous country, Italy.
