Annual Yoga Retreat, October 25-27, 2019 – Sanibel Harbour Marriot

What will the weekend look like?

Friday: You can check in any time after 3:00 p.m. on Friday. The first yoga session takes place in late afternoon. An after-dinner restoratives practice will insure a peaceful night’s sleep.

Saturday: Saturday there is a gentle morning practice. A second, later morning yoga classes follows. The afternoon leaves plenty of time for spa services, lounging by the pool, shopping or napping. Another yoga class is offered late in the afternoon, along with another restorative class before the dinner hour. Your Saturday night is free and open.

Sunday: On Sunday, there is a gentle morning practice followed by another later morning yoga class. We request a late check-out of 12:30 for our guests, but you can hang around and enjoy the resort if you would like.

A more detailed schedule will be emailed to you as the date of the retreat approaches.

Do I have to attend all of the yoga classes?
Absolutely not! This is your weekend.

Please tell me more about getting to the resort.
Located on 85 beautiful acres near Sanibel Island, the Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort & Spa is a beautiful and peaceful property, approximately 90 minutes by car south of Sarasota. The most convenient airport to fly into is Southwest Florida International Airport in Ft. Myers. The resort does not have an airport shuttle, however, a taxi can be hired for $45 – $50 each way. Uber is also an option from the airport to the resort.

What is and what is not included in the weekend retreat price?
When you come to the retreat, you come for an experience that provides refuge from everyday life. Prices are a combination of tuition for the classes plus your room and use of all resort amenities during your stay – transportation around the resort, wi-fi and use of the complimentary spa facilities – sauna, Jacuzzi, steam room, and fitness center. Transportation to the resort, meals and spa services are not included (however, spa services are discounted 10% for our group).

May I add another night before the retreat starts or after the retreat ends?
Yes! You may stay an extra night by letting us know at the time you register.

I would like to go but can’t attend the full weekend. Are there day options?
Yes! Treat yourself to a day at the resort and you’ll feel like a whole new person. You can arrive as early as 8:00 am and stay through the last evening activity. Whether you want a busy day full of exciting classes or a slow, relaxing opportunity to get away and get quiet, you’ll find what you need. Your day pass includes all yoga offered on that day plus access to the resorts amenities – transportation around the resort, wi-fi and use of the complimentary spa facilities – sauna, Jacuzzi, steam room, and fitness center. Because we often sell out of Day Passes, we highly recommend calling ahead to check availability and book – 941-929-9878.

What if I want to go but don’t have a roommate?
We often have students looking to share a room. Just let us know and we will do our best to find a compatible roommate for you. If you prefer to book a single room, that is also available.

What if I have to cancel?
We understand that unexpected things come up. Our contract with the resort requires us to purchase a certain number of rooms. Because we are obligated to fulfill this room block commitment, we are unable to offer refunds. However, if you find someone to take your place, we can provide a full refund to you less a 10% processing fee.
