If you’re a yoga bunny with a passion for dance and ballet, there’s a new retreat that you need to visit.
Jax Lysycia, founder of world-class yoga retreats, Formentera Yoga has joined forces with Royal Ballet-trained Karis Scarlette, to offer a retreat that unites the ‘energising and exciting disciplines of dance and yoga’.
Whether you’ve got the gracefulness of a prima ballerina or not, this retreat on the blissful, Balearic island of Formentera will improve your technique, elegance and posture, whilst also offering all the delights of a holiday — think 5 star resort, azure seas and golden sands, and fresh, healthy meals prepared for you by top local chefs.
The retreat takes places in October 2015 and whether you’re looking for a spot of you time, an opportunity to practice your yoga, or simply a week of peace and quiet away from the kids, this trip vows to leave you feeling refreshed, relaxed and reenergised, and ready to face the winter months. Your days will go something like this: roll out of your plush bed and onto the beach for a Sunrise Dynamic Yoga class with Jax, which will wake you up, soften your spine and hips, and sensitise your muscular and cellular system; replenish energy levels with a fresh and healthy brunch, before relaxing on the beach with a book, taking a stroll along the sand, or getting some blissful shut-eye in a poolside hammock. As sunset approaches you’ll grab your ballet shoes for a Classical Ballet session with Karis, in which you’ll not only practice the dance, but also learn about the methodology of traditional ballet as an art form. As the night draws in, you’ll be served dinner under the stars, before hitting the pillow ready for the another day of bliss.
If this sounds like your kind of trip, take a look on the site for further details and sign up information. Based on a private room basis, €1600 includes all accommodation, healthy lunches and dinners, all sunrise and sunset sessions refreshments, yoga mats and equipment.
