The undulating rhythms of coastal Bahia offer a welcome setting for joyful interweaving of yoga, dance, and chanting. As the Piracanga The undulating rhythms of coastal Bahia offer a welcome setting for joyful interweaving of yoga, dance, and chanting. As the
Piracanga River gently winds its way through vast fields of coconut to finally merge into the ocean, so will we interweave the
complimentary techniques of pranayama, chanting, yoga and dance into a joyful experience of living more fully in tune with spirit
and nature. Delve into these complimentary practices to take you on a deeply transformative week. Each day will offer pranayama
sessions and long, soulful kirtans with Jai, classical Indian and Brazilian rhythmic dance explorations with Nubia and yoga classes
probing new territory with Anne. There will be ample opportunity to take part in other activities such as surfing, cooking lessons,
capoeira and dance performances, side trips to the surrounding areas or just hanging out and reading on the beach! Families welcome!
