Four Seasons Resort Maui Announces Summer Yoga Retreat

Yoga enthusiasts seeking to deepen their level of practice as well as cultivate their physical, mental and spiritual health should plan now to attend Four Seasons Resort Maui's Summer 2011 Yoga Retreat, scheduled from June 27 to July 2 with stunning Wailea Beach and other local natural settings serving as the backdrop for this experience.

The retreat will be led by Kathyrn Budig, a celebrated Los Angeles-based yoga instructor, who teaches the Vinyasa style of yoga which connects the breath to movement, allowing poses to flow together on an inhale or exhale–almost like a choreographed dance. This young, talented and widely recognized face in the yoga world will bring her playful mixture of challenging classes, infectious love for yoga, and joyful personality to the teaching mat each day. She will guide participants through a series of poses designed to identify, open and strengthen both body and mind. She also will work on breath, posture and movement, demonstrating ways to make the body more graceful, accepting and flexible.

Budig has been featured on the covers of Yoga Journal, Yoga International, Om Yoga and Common Ground. She also is a published writer whose articles have appeared in the Huffington Post, Yoga Journal, Yahoo Shine's Living Section and MindBodyGreen. An avid food lover, Budig is passionate about sharing healthy, organic and eco-friendly recipes.

The retreat will include five nights in a luxurious garden-view room; full breakfast daily in the resort's DUO restaurant; a $500 resort credit for Spa treatments and services; four sunrise and three sunset yoga sessions with Budig including two offsite excursions to inspirational settings; a Welcome Reception and a Closing Dinner; and daily "Talk Yoga" sessions in the Yoga Retreat Hospitality Lounge. All participants also will receive a complimentary Yoga Retreat T-shirt and the instructor's yoga DVD.

Pricing for this package begins at $4,500 for a single participant. Limited availability. To reserve this package, contact pat.makozak@fourseasons.com or call 1 (808) 874 2939.
