River Vibes: A Yoga, Rafting, and Musical Delight” Aug. 28th and 29th 2010 – $200/person (ages 13+) Immerse your senses on a two day and one night rafting, yoga, and musical delight. Explore the scenic Stanislaus River by raft while making your way down to Sunshine Rafting’s private river haven! Experience three sessions of yoga on a blanket of green grass by the river, two days of rafting on Sat. and Sun, and a beautifully eclectic music festival at our gorgeous outdoor theater enveloped in a canopy of trees. Nourish your body with three catered meals and touch-up with an optional massage. Join us on this unforgettable “River Vibes” extravaganza! We will dive into our 14 miles of relaxing current on Saturday morning launching from historic Knights Ferry. Within the first mile of this stretch of river you will come upon the exhilarating Russian Rapids, which is a class II thrill. As we continue down the river you will have the opportunity to hop in a refreshing river bath to cool off and beat the heat. Our first stopping point will be at Horseshoe Camp where we will have a light snack and rest. Then we will board our rafts again and continue down to Orange Blossom Park where we will enjoy a full session of yoga on the beautiful green grass, which will include an instrumental accompaniment. After we complete our yoga practice we will then eat a delicious lunch and set out on our next journey down to our private river haven! This exclusive location is an outdoor wonderland that includes two acres of manicured green grass, perfect for yoga and tent camping. There is a full stage under a canopy of trees where the musical festivities will be held. This location also includes a sauna, horseshoe pit, bathrooms, showers, hammocks, two rope swings and a private beach. Once we make land on Saturday afternoon we will enrich our experience with another session of yoga and then an exquisite dinner under the trees. After everyone is settled at the gorgeous camp we will then begin to bring out the music!!! There will be several bands performing at this event with many styles of music. In addition to the musicians there will be professional fire dancers that will ignite the show once the sun goes down. There will be an opportunity for optional massages out there under the stars. On Sunday morning we will begin our day with a morning meditation and full yoga class. We will then have a full catered breakfast together and then begin to prepare for our final raft for the day. The final stretch will begin mid-day on Sunday and will end at the Oakdale Recreation Area. If you desire a natural backdrop for your yoga practice this is the time! Each yoga class will be constructed to easily suite the beginner yogi or the versed. There is no experience necessary to participate in these classes and there will be instructors that walk around and assist each student in finding the perfect pose for them. The classes will be held on the green grass at both Orange Blossom Park (one on Sat. afternoon) and the Stanislaus River Haven (one on Sat. evening and Sun. morning). The yoga styles will consist of Vinyasa Flow and Himalayan Yoga-Meditation Tradition. Each instructor will put their personal twist on each pose which allows for you to find the one that resonates the most with your individual practice. The classes are always offered to all attendees but at any time if you feel like you need to sit out from a class that is always an option. We use yoga to elicit a beautiful balance within our lives. This is a time for personal discovery of what really makes your body sing and feel blissful. Yoga mixed with the elemental forces that you will be surrounded by offers a perfect time to tap into your inner self! The peaceful techniques to living that are introduced and experienced on “River Vibes” will be applicable to your daily lives on and off of the river. To offer a special treat to our guests we will have onsite certified massage therapists working at our River Haven Massage Village. In this village you will have an option between chair massage or table massage. You will be able to pre-determine the length of the massage you wish to receive and also whether you would like to have it take place on Saturday evening or Sunday morning. The professional massages will be an additional fee that are very reasonable for the experience you will receive by relaxing in a gorgeous outdoor setting while taking care of your mind and body and allowing them to become fully synchronized. Each massage will be customized to maximize your relaxing and healing experience. We will also be providing you with three catered meals and snacks throughout our two day exploration. Our first snack will be provided a Horseshoe Camp along the route, which is about 4 miles down the river. Lunch will be served at Orange Blossom Park and dinner will be served at the Sunshine River Haven.
