December 30th - January 3rd 2010

We rang in 2010 at the luxurious Standard Miami with Michelle Barge leading the yogic way. Every day opened with morning yoga on the dock overlooking the bay. Our afternoons were filled with yummy organic lunches pool side (I'm still craving that falafel salad!) and detoxing in the sauna, steam room and hamam. The evenings were centered on restorative yoga and workshops where Michelle focused on specific parts of the body. For our New Year's Eve celebration, we opened with an hour of standing postures and then took it down to the mat. The talented Sri Raj Narayan Ji joined us with his sitar as we chanted 108 times to Lakshmi, the goddess of beauty and good fortune and the new year began with hugs and well wishes all around.
