YOGA RETREAT ON STAR ISLAND

Sept 13 - 16, 2012, Isle of Shoals, NH

This is our tenth annual retreat on Star Island. Rasamaya organizes this conference, collaborating with some of the best presenters and studios New England has to offer.

 

What people had to say about Star Island Yoga Retreat 2011:

“Star Island is the perfect place to deepen your yoga practice and leave the hustle and bustle of the world behind. Go inward and at the same time meet a wonderful community of yogis!”

“A wonderful balance of challenge and relaxation.”

“This trip was energizing and inspiring!”

“This was my first trip to the Island and my first actual retreat. This has been the best experience I have had in my yoga practice. It is my recommendation that all levels of yogis attend this conference.”

“Sometimes a group of complete strangers creates an intimate experience of community with inexplicable ease. Star Island, the teachers, the students, all combined to crate a truly memorable experience for me.”

“A timeless place.”

“Every year it gets better.”

“I spend a lot of time dispensing advice to clients to take care of themselves, to recharge, to restore; it was my turn and it was perfect.”

Additional costs include Lobster Dinner on Saturday Night (sold at market price) and parking at the harbor $10 a day ($40 total for our trip).

THINGS TO BRING:

Luggage is limited to 40lbs, preferably split between two duffel bags (though that isn't mandatory). You may want to pack some of this in your luggage:

• Some cash for the Gift Shop, Snack Bar and Bookshop (no credit cards accepted, but checks are)
• Books & Games (there are no televisions on Star)
• Decent shoes for hiking around the island
• Towlettes (in between showers, although there are also washcloths and plenty of hot water to sponge-bath with. Showers should be every other day.)
• Swimsuit if you are brave enough to plunge into the seawater off the dock – there is a lifeguard and a rinse off shower! But it’s cold!
• Bug spray if you plan to be out at night
• Wine or beverages of choice.
• It can be very cold on the island if it rains so bring appropriate clothing.
• Camera
• Something to donate to the Silent Auction—every year, this event raises money for our scholarship funds to help bring new retreaters out next year
• Yoga mat and props—we suggest a strap and two blocks if you have them. The Island air gets quite humid, so bear this in mind when packing—don’t bring any props that are very precious or hard to wash!

Some stuff you may want to leave at home

The Island is a retreat and conference center, and while there we encourage —sometimes even embrace—a less technology-dependent lifestyle. So you may want to leave your laptop at home, especially since connecting to the Internet can be difficult. Cell phone use is limited to your room on the whole. There is a business center if anything really crucial happens.
