Sun and Moon
Strength and flexibility. Rigid structure and the freedom to explore. Daniel Rama’s balance retreat is the middle path between two extremes. Start the day with an uplifting functional Hatha asana practice featuring a balance between effort and ease, extroversion, and introversion.
In afternoon sessions, participants explore intermediate to advanced movement skills such as handstands, back-bends, and flexibility drills. Rama will help you clean up your technique and access more advanced asana and exercises. He will offer personalized modifications throughout the retreat.
This program is designed for complete beginners to novices or those with limited experience. Personal programs are a great way to start from the beginning and learn correct habits and techniques.
Daily Schedule
The daily life at Vikasa starts with the sound of tropical birds as the sun rises over their east-facing hillside home. Every day will start with breathwork and meditation, creating a morning routine and ritual you will be able to take home with you as a tailored self-practice. Followed by a robust healthy brunch in a community setting.
Each day has a balance of immersive practice and exercises. There will also be space to relax, reflect, journal, visit the spa, and explore the island.
