Yoga Jamaica 2023

with Suzie Hurley & Maria Hamburger

Saturday, January 28 – Saturday, February 4, 2023

Join Suzie and Maria for a weeklong adventure into asana, pranayama and meditation on the beautiful Cliffs of Negril. We will be on the westernmost coast of Jamaica, which boasts not only a spectacular coastline of the rugged high cliffs but also a world famous seven-mile white sand beach.

Jamaica invites you to re-connect with Spirit, to unwind and let go into the vibrancy and exotic rhythm of island life. Your yoga practice is brought alive by the warm breezes, turquoise sea, lively music and charm of the Jamaican people.

Both Suzie and Maria teach with an empowering and therapeutically precise set of alignment principles, life affirming Tantric philosophy, and a full celebration of life. Their yoga is both playful and profound, allowing each student to awaken to the innate joy that lies waiting to be revealed in each of our hearts.
