Join us for a study of Yin Yoga: Meridians and Muscles to deeper understand the workings of the body and our abilities to tap into its mindful medicine. Gather with us for 10 days of yin yoga - practice, study and theory - reggae music, and adventure trips with Danielle, Obe and their amazing team in Jamaica. It's for sure a powerfully empress-fuelled event using local business and highlighting music, culture and the arts. Quiet beach mornings, vegan meals of local food and special teas, and time to unwind with new friends. Looking forward to sharing and caring for this healing adventure and educational retreat. Come Along!
A few words from Obe:
"Muscles and Meridians are two different prospectives of looking at our bodies, from a western and eastern philosophical prospective. Taking into account the influence of culture on how we see the world, this workshop provides deeper insight into how these prospectives are intertwined. Focusing on the overlaps of Western Anatomy and Acupuncture Theory, this workshop will give students an understanding of which muscles are influenced by particular meridians, and how this knowledge can improve their current profession in the health and wellness industry as a Yin Yoga Teacher"
Email danielle@lovelightyoga.com for more information or any questions. Looking forward to serving this adventure with you.

Another Special Guest:
Desirée Dawson is a singer-songwriter and Yoga Instructor born and raised in Vancouver BC. Desirée loves language and writing therefore writes all her own music. She draws inspiration for her music from her love of reading people and their emotions, intrigued by the web that we are all interconnected in.
When she is not making music, you can find her connecting with her body and breath at Yoga! She says that through her yoga practice she found her true authentic voice and her confidence to use on and off the stage. When asked about what music means to her, Desirée says, “I love how a group of completely different people can be united by one song. Music has the power to stir up the deepest emotions, it is therapeutic and such an effective healer. For these reasons and so many more, music is my life. Yoga, just happens to do the same things so i've been lucky enough to combine my two passions."
Some of Desirée’s most proud moments have been, opening for the blues legend, Jim Byrnes, playing at Fortune Sound Club multiple times, playing on the main stage of the Vancouver Pride festival, winning 1st place on the TV-J morning TV show in Kingston Jamaica, working on yoga and songwriting with the youth at Holy Trinity High School in Kingston Jamaica, and spreading her light and love around the world through the combination of singing and yoga!
