Yoga Vacation with Cari Friedman and Jessa Zinn
Friday, October 29 - Saturday, November 6, 2004

Please join us for a spring fling in the Patagonia with two delightful Anusara teachers from New York City.Ý Every day will include two yoga classes, meditation and plenty of free time to read, relax and to explore. The beautiful Rivadavia valley and neighboring Los Alerces National Park are our playground.

La Rinconada staff offers daily guided excursions, e.g. hiking, horseback riding, river floats and photo tours.Ý We arrange fly fishing trips and when boat trips are available on spectacular Lago Menendez there is the opportunity to see a remarkable "hanging" glacier and walk among the 2000 year old Alerce trees.

There will be a massage therapist available throughout the week and special appointments with a particularly gifted local healer and energy worker can be arranged.

To make this opportunity even more inviting, we welcome back our dear friend and extraordinary chef Rocky Durham, former head chef of Santacafé in Santa Fe, New Mexico, author of nationally syndicated "Chef at Large" column and mastermind behind the "Santa Fe" restaurants across England.

We have a collection of yoga retreat photos as well plenty of additional pictures in the gallery.
