I hope you are having a peace and light filled start to spring. With nature in bloom, and the Easter and Passover holidays, we can take inspiration for a renewed connection to life, while honoring it's intrinsic connection to death and dying.

"Yesterday the twig was brown and bare; Today the glint of green is there; Tomorrow will be leaflets spare; I know no thing so wondrous fair, No miracle so strangely rare. I wonder what will next be there!" – L.H. Bailey

May your practice provide some joy and an anchor of stillness through the cycles of life...and any waves of self-doubt, dread, and overwhelm.

Morocco Retreat October 2023?!

I would love your help in gauging interest for an adventure-filled retreat to Morocco for this fall 2023, as we are moving the Peru trip to 2024.

This has been one of International Yoga's best programs, and much like the Peru retreat, it is a great place to explore with an organized itinerary full of culturally rich experiences. The yoga and meditation will help us rejuvenate and connect more deeply to our magical experiences, people and places.

I am especially excited to be joined by my friend and expert guide Andrea, who will be leading us through the trip. It will be an 8 night/9 day journey staying in beautifully designed hotels across Marrakesh, the desert and Atlas mountains (all within a short one hour drive of each other). With a launch discount of $400, shared rooms start at $4895 and singles at $6295. Here is a link for the itinerary: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/cu/Vgm5S2F/morocco.

If you are interested, I would love to make this happen! Please let me know if you would like more information ASAP...ideally by next Thursday April 13th, so we can get a sense of feasibility, and follow-up with details and next steps.

Peru 2024

I am was very much looking forward to returning to Peru, reconnecting with our guide team, and sharing the life-changing journey. Please let me know if interested in Peru for next fall, and I will be sure to send you the new dates.

Schedule updates: https://www.vitoyoga.com/schedule

I am offering Yin + Restorative on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month. The Thursday morning class is now an 8:30-9:30a, and classes are always available on demand. Also please let me know if you are interested in a monthly Ball Rolling and stretch class on the 2nd Sunday of each month...or another time.

P.S. In addition to offering private lessons, I have been working on the side, sampling wine for Mucci Imports. I love sharing the Italian wines of these small producers, and seeing some of you on my visits to different shops. I have been posting a weekly schedule of tastings on Instagram.

Much love and appreciation,

Vito
