Bhaktishop Beach Summer Camp!
SOLD OUT
With The Bhaktishop Family Labor Day Weekend, Sept 3-6, 2010
$108
Never thought you could afford to come on a yoga retreat? In our never-ending quest to keep it cheap, we bring you the ultimate cheap yoga retreat weekend, right here in our own backyard!
Join us at amazing Beverly Beach Campground, 7 miles north or Newport, for 4 days and 3 nights of yurt or tent camping, loads of yoga with Diana, Lisa Mae, Maggie, Marianne, and Tasha, surfing, beachcombing, hiking, and overall enjoying life with the incredible beauty of nature all around you.
We reserved tons of yurts and campsites, so there is something for everyone. Register early with us for your first choice of lodging. Yurts are double or triple occupancy, and campsites are single or double occupancy, and the price is the same for all lodgings, so that’s first-come, first-yurt! If you have pals you want to register with, let us know that in advance so we can put you together. We will be sure that your roommates will be of the same gender…
You also get to bring and cook your own meals (or go into town for them if you prefer) which keeps it extra-cheap (that and the teachers basically donating their time to teach yoga that weekend…)
The ridiculous price of $108 includes all 3 nights of your camping fees and yoga classes for the whole trip! We will celebrate life and the sun and the beauty of Oregon together on the mat and on the sand with 5 yoga classes, a campfire kirtan, possibly a group cookout, and many unimaginably fun things that we cannot even plan for yet. Awesomely local fun for all….
We can take 35 people total, and this will sell out in a FLASH. If you intend to come, grab a spot ASAP by paying a non-refundable $54 deposit, and get your asana out of town on the cheapest yoga retreat ever! Bring your camping gear, your yoga mat, your surfboard or other outdoor fun whatnot, and come to summer camp with The Bhaktishop!

We are grateful to be steeping in Breitenbush during this (mostly) silent weekend, much of which will be also seeping into our hearts.

Jungle Love: The 5 year Costa Rica Anniversary with Lisa Mae and Diana
February 20-27, 2011
$1235-$1335 depending on lodging choice
Info: weloveyou@thebhaktishop.com
We probably do not need to tell you about this one, as it has become local legend among yogis that have traveled to the cult of the Osa Peninsula and returned, forever changed. But in case you need convincing, we will offer you the opportunity for the 5th year in a row to travel to one of the most bio-diverse places on the planet, lounge in jungle and oceanic bliss with a set of permanent surfing waves that don’t quit, eat tremendously decadent meals in the hot tropical night air, wake to howler monkeys and scarlet macaws, and do so much yoga, meditation and chanting that you will wonder how you ever did anything else all day. Two luscious, deep asana classes each day with fun and funky ways of getting down on your mat with your yoga friends, sunrise meditations and Gayatri to greet the day, surfing, hiking, swimming and lounging all day, and nary a thought to what you might eat or when, for all meals are provided. Excellent and rustic indoor/outdoor lodgings, swimming pools, weird jungle creatures, and unlimited and unimaginable fun. Get deep with your practice, renew your sagging spirits, and get some freakin’ sunshine for crying out loud! This year 5 thing is not to be missed…
2012: New Year’s Holy Fiesta!
Playa Troncones, Mexico with Lisa Mae and Diana
December 30, 2011 to January 6, 2012
$1108
Info: weloveyou@thebhaktishop.com
That’s right, we finally took the leap for a second tropical retreat…to our very own neighbor south of the border! This is a slick ride on the Cadillac, friends, as we take you to the amazing and quaint beach town of Playa Troncones, Mexico, 35km north of the Ixtapa airport on the Pacific side. A lazy, homey little town full of low-lying casas and down home charm, and did we mention awesome waves? We rented an entire eye-fryingly pink compound with several private beachfront villas and swimming pools all for you… Think sunrise meditation and 2 hour funky yoga classes in the mornings, a killer Mexican brunch, and then all day to do your thing. Sundowner yoga classes on the sweet yoga deck, dinner out in the little village for some local flavor or cooked on your own in your kitchens with hand-delivered vegetables daily, and then perhaps a midnight cannonball into the pool? An as of yet undreamed-up ritual New Year’s Bhaktishop-style welcome to the sacred 2012 will ensue, along with much feasting and merriment for all to enjoy. We can only take 14 lucky yogis on this trip, since we can’t hardly take over the entire beachfront. So start planning now! A non-refundable deposit of $200 will hold a space for you on this one…We can’t think of another way we would want to ring in the new than with all of you in the company of your amazing yoga practices…
Retreat Cancellation Policy
Dearest yogi family,
We regret that we need to have one of these kinds of policies, but alas, it has become necessary. So here goes.
If you are registered and paid for any retreat we will happily issue you a refund of your payment. Here is the scene:
- If you cancel 1 month or more before the retreat, we will happily give you a 100% refund.
- If it is less than 1 month from the date of the retreat, we will give you a 100% refund if we are able to fill your spot.
- If it is less than 1 month from the date of the retreat, and we are not able to fill your spot, we will give you a refund of 75% of the cost of the retreat or deposit you have given.
As you know, many of our retreats fill up and then get a waiting list, so the likelihood that we will fill the space is pretty high, with the exception of stuff we do in other countries. But that might mean that we have to wait until after the retreat happens to find out and get you a refund!
