Yoga Style
The ancient practice of Astanga Yoga is considered to be one of the most physically demanding forms of yoga. It requires and builds on stamina, physical strength, flexibility and controlled breathing.

Known as a restorative yoga for physical alignment Astanga Yoga, or Power Yoga in some circles, is becoming very popular among athletes and those with acute misalignment problems. This is yoga for those who like to sweat! Although there are meditative effects, it is light on meditation but heavy on developing strength and stamina.

At the Rijooviness retreat at Finca San Juan, the classes are very small in order for your instructor to carefully guide you and correct your alignment. You will begin your retreat experience with a one on one assessment to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience with specific attention to your specific needs.

The Instructor

After many years of experience and practice she shares her unique philosophy regarding yoga; "Yoga gives you the body you were meant to have."
