YOGA AND AYURVEDA VACATION
AT THE SEASIDE IN PODDĄBIE

21-28 August 2010

We cordially invite you to Poddąbie, one of the loveliest spots on the Polish coast, for a seaside yoga vacation! Poddąbie is situated in the Ustka region, famous for its health resorts, not far from Słowiński National Park. Peace and quiet, neighbouring forests and wide sandy beaches with scenic cliffs will enhance our yoga practice and make for an unforgettable vacation.

We’ll be staying at the Hotel Bałtyk, only 300 meters from a wide sandy beach. The hotel features comfortable rooms with private bathrooms, a large space for practicing yoga, restaurant, sauna, hydromassage, weight room, tennis and volleyball courts, a fireplace and a bicycle rental (there are many interesting bike paths in the area).

Check-in is available starting at 4 pm at the reception desk. We’ll meet at 6 pm for our first relaxing lesson in the gym.

Programme

We’ll start on the first day with a relaxing lesson followed by supper, and finish on the last day with morning practice followed by brunch. The daily practice program will include asanas, pranayama (breath exercises), meditation and deep relaxation on the beach or in the hotel gym. Breathing techniques, the harmonious combination of breath and movement, deepening awareness in practice through self-observation, strengthening the body and increasing inner balance—these are just some of the significant aspects of our sadhana, or regular practice.

In addition, there will be informal talks on how to implement Ayurveda in everyday life—how to manage stress through making proper lifestyle and diet choices. You’ll learn simple techniques as well as therapeutic recommendations on health and beauty.

Lessons will be led by certified and experienced yoga teachers: Katarzyna Erickson and
Henryk Dąbrowski (for more about us, please see www.yogainternational.com.pl)

The strengthening and cleansing action of yoga will be complemented with delicious and nutritious food. Two large vegetarian or semivegetarian (dairy or fish) meals will be served daily, buffet style. We’ll also be serving special yogi tea with ginger, prior to morning practice.

Our meals will be provided by the experienced team of chefs and waiters at Hotel Bałtyk, whose kitchen has long been famous for vegetarian treats and excellent service.

The beautiful scenic landscapes and healing microclimate of the Baltic will enhance not only our yoga practice, but also our recreation and relaxation. There will be plenty of free time to spend sunbathing, swimming, taking long walks along the beach, or making quick day trips to surrounding health resorts such as Rowy, Ustka, and of course Słowiński National Park.
