In January 2011 join me for the opening celebration of Stay Human, a beautiful Yoga and retreat center dedicated to bringing people together to practice Yoga. Meditation, Art and Music.

Founded by Michael Franti and Carla Swanson, the exquisitely designed main building and grounds hosts a river, tropical gardens and several ornate ponds. The property can accommodate up 24 people for this intimate adventure in peace and tranquility. After your Yoga practice, enjoy a refreshing dip in the swimming pool and pick fresh fruit from the abundance of mango, jackfruit, banana, mangostein, rambutan, papaya and coconut trees.

Covered by a traditional thatch roof, the open air Yoga studio on the third floor overlooks spectacular views of the rice terraces, temples and the greenest jungles in the world! There will be 14 classes offered during your stay for you to enjoy and rejuvenate yourself.

This offering is open to 22 guests to travel with me on the experience of a lifetime! We will bless this retreat center with Shakti and Prana as we connect with nature and our true selves.

In Love and Light I see you there ~ Michele
