Yoga with Eoin Finn
 

“This yoga practice is an intelligent form of fitness for your body, mind and soul. The classes are tailored for beginners, intermediates and experts. Like a Montessori school – people of all different abilities in the same place. All of us working towards the same goal…maximum health and well-being. Please work at your own level, get to know your body, and get to know some of the nicest people on the planet earth. Ultimately this class is about maintaining a positive, healthy perspective” - Eoin Finn.

“Yoga guru Eoin Finn has cultivated some very good karma. How else to explain the Vancouver yoga instructor, webmaster, entrepreneur and DVD producer’s success? His website, www.vancouveryoga.com, gets up to 50,000 page hits a day on its “om page”. His Kitsilano Neighborhood House classes are de rigueur for West 4th denizens. And his two instructional DVDs – Power Yoga with Eoin Finn Vol. 1 (2001) and Power Yoga for Happiness (2004) have proven so popular with the Lululemon set that Finn, 35, plans to travel the world to record yoga sessions for his next DVD, Planet Bliss. He’s too modest to admit it, but Finn’s become a bit of a local yoga celeb” Excerpt from The Vancouver Province, March 21, 2004.

Shani Cranston

Milagro Retreats was Founded in 2002 by Shani Cranston. Her vision of creating a community where like minded practitioners could share their knowledge started with extensive traveling and working in Baja and Mainland Mexico from 1996- 2000. This lead to exploring the symbiotic relationship between Yoga and Surfing.
 

With 10 years in the Healing Arts and a life long passion for nourishing others with her eclectic cooking style, Shani encourages rejuvenation, restoration and balance of body, mind and spirit for her guests.
When Shani is not in the Milagro Kitchen she is testing and creating new recipes and offering intuitive bodywork sessions, she can be found fine tuning her culinary skills offering Karma Yoga in the kitchens of Retreat Centers such as Hollyhock and The Salt Spring Centre.

Learn the basics of safe surfing in a nurturing environment with Surf Sister. With dry land training, and detailed teachings, you will learn the basics of surfing including equipment knowledge, ocean safety, and the 3 steps to standing up and surfing. You'll also learn basic skills such as how to carry your surfboard like a pro, as well as the more in-depth technical aspects of wave riding. Surf Sister will show you what you need to know to get standing on that surfboard! During this week, the certified Surf Sister instructors will teach you tricks that may take you years to learn on your own!
