I made this playlist with motivation in mind, yes.  Motivation to keep looking forward.  To hard work in the face of overwhelming new challenges or ideas.  To keep striving for positivity in all that you believe in and want to achieve.  To keep finding gratitude for life and what you bring to it.  

And here at the end of November...I am motivated to continue motivating all of you on the mat.  So, cheers and many thanks to everyone who crosses my path in class and teaches me things through their energy and spirit all the time.  

Happy Thanksgiving!

2nd annual Winter Yoga Utopia Retreat in the West Indies

Most of you know that last January I offered a weeklong getaway from the winter cold to spend yoga holiday with me on the West Indies island of Dominica.  It turned out to be a fascinating, relaxing, adventurous, and yoga-licious time.  So, this year, I've partnered with Trish from Tropical Escapes yet again, to offer my 2nd annual getaway!  

Yep, but this year we'll be heading to Dominica's neighbor of St. Lucia.  It's just as glorious, as well as cheaper and easier to get to with direct flights from Jet Blue!  

So, if anyone has between $1700-2000 and a week off in mid-January to escape the cold and come with me to do vinyasa yoga everyday near the sea and in the sun, with irie Caribbean vibes all around...then keep reading...you know you want to!

Yoga: Vinyasa Flow & Restorative

Jenn Pici's classes infuse a strong, empowering, loving vinyasa flow that focuses on: breath, safety & awareness in your own body; awakening your emotions & spirit; and most of all inviting in love.  She is inspired by music, nature, art, and her friends to create a unique experience where students can get out of their heads and work on themselves (both inside and out) on their mats...in order to bring love off the mat.

Jenn got her RYT-Yoga Alliance certification in Vinyasa Yoga from the Baptiste-affiliated Power Yoga Works in Philadelphia , PA.  With over 10 years of personal practice, and 4 years of teaching under her belt; she surrounds herself with a variety of different style classes and workshops, and continues to learn from the amazing yogis that are all around Boston and beyond.  She teaches full-time in Cambridge and Somerville, MA.  This will be her 2nd year working with Trish and Tropical Escapes to provide a healing/fun yoga adventure!
