The first yoga class will take place in the morning, either just before or after breakfast. This practice will emphasize on mindful vinyasa-style movements with modifications to suit your individual needs. Afterwards, it's free time to explore, relax or take part in an optional add-on activity. Depending on the day, the second class will either be in the afternoon followed by dinner or after dinner. This session will be a slow and restorative hatha practice. There will be one "excursion day" in which there will be only one scheduled yoga class in the morning.
