Yoga

In the past year she has taught in a number of exotic locations, from the dunes of the Namib desert to the decks of liveaboards off the coasts of Mexico, Cuba and the Maldives. Her sessions are an excellent way to either prepare for a day of diving, or to unwind and relax at the end of the day.

This looks like an amazing trip. I won't be able to go this year, but I might start "saving my pennies" and look into it for next spring.

Hi,

I'm not running it next spring as I will be leading trips to the Turks and Caicos to snorkel with Humpback whales Feb 2 to 9, and then in March, 9 to 21, to Socorro for a 9-night cruise with an add-on to swim with Makos and Smooth hammerheads. The next one will be in 2020.

Thanks for the update. Looks like I will miss it. As they say, timing is everything.
