Great offer on a Yoga break end of May, Malindi, Kenya!
Dear All,
I am writing firstly to remind you all that at the end of this month there will be a long weekend. There is a holiday which falls on Thursday May 24th and an additional holiday which falls on Monday May 28th.
A few people have mentioned they would be keen to take advantage of this weekend and ideally combine it with YOGA, SUN and SEA!
I know that not everyone is entitled to this long weekend with their work so I have been investigating and negotiating rates for a couple of options that could work depending on your feedback and the number of people who are interested in joining on dates accordingly!
I am really thrilled to have located a fabulous private villa in Malindi thanks to a dear friend just a short drive away from Mombasa with it’s own private pool and terrace which is the perfect spot for Yoga sessions. The villa is located just a stones throw away from the ocean itself, which could also be a great spot for morning Yoga!
We are very fortunate to get such a good rental rate for this short time especially considering the quality of the Villa and its location.
More details on local daytime shopping and attractions can be sent once I have confirmation.
Here are a couple of options for you to think about
Thursday – Monday (4 nights) based on a group of 8 people
- Accommodation per person $105 for 4 nights
- Food (11 meals) estimated $110
- Yoga fee for $185
Thursday – Monday (4 nights) based on a group of 6 people
- Accommodation per person $145 for 4 nights
- Food (11 meals) estimated $110
- Yoga fee for $185
Friday – Monday ( 3 nights) based on a group of 8 people
- Accommodation per person $80 for 3 nights
- Food (9 meals) estimated $90
- Yoga fee for $145
Friday – Monday ( 3 nights) based on a group of 6 people
- Accommodation per person $110 for 3 nights
- Food (9 meals) estimated $90
- Yoga fee for $145
The taxi from the airport to the Villa is around $50 there and $50 back depending on how many people share the ride.
If this holiday break sounds like what you are in need of, or maybe it’s the perfect opportunity to use up some of your air miles then let me know as soon as possible as I must have confirmation by the end of next week with deposits to secure the rental agreement.
Please see above the attached images of Beverly House.
I look forward to any feedback you have or about future interest you may have in participating on a similar weekend if you are unable to make it this time.
Best wishes to you all !

Welcome back to 2012!
Dear friends,
Firstly I would like to wish you all a warm welcome back and a wonderful start to the year 2012!
After a month of indulgence and Christmas delights I´m very excited to start teaching again and getting us all back into the Yoga groove.
All classes will resume as normal as of next week, Monday 16th following the same schedule.
Due to the general increase of living cost I will be putting the rates up to 100 Birr per class. Additionally there will now also be the option of purchasing 10 classes up front at the rate of 900 Birr (10% discount)
Toddlers Classes will now be at the rate of 80 Birr and 700 Birr for 10 paid in advance.
I am pleased to also let you know that we have the stunning, Galilee Center reserved in Debre Zeit for a Yoga
Weekend, from February 3rd – 5th, information about this will be sent out in the next day or two once I have confirmed things with them.
Please advise as soon as possible which classes you will be attending. I very much look forward to seeing you all back on the mat!
Here´s to a heart fulfilling 2012!
Emily
