We are thrilled to be representing Star Clippers and present to our audiences the many reasons why Star Clippers is the leading small-ship experience. . . Sandy Dhuyvetter
MIAMI, Fla. (Aug. XX, 2014) — Travelers looking to do something
good for their mind, body and soul can set sail on one of Star Clippers’ six
scheduled yoga-themed itineraries in 2015. World-class yoga instructors will be
onboard Star Clipper’s Jan. 24 and 31 Caribbean sailings, Royal Clipper’s May
16 and 23 western Mediterranean cruises and Star Flyer’s Aug. 1 and 8 Balearic
Islands itineraries.
All classes are complimentary and will take
place on deck in the fresh air under the billowing sails at sunrise and sunset.
The instructors also will give lectures on the philosophy of yoga and advice
for practice at home. All of the classes are appropriate for all skill
levels, so beginners are as welcome as advanced participants.
“You can’t ask for a more relaxing yoga environment
than on the open deck of a Star Clippers ship surrounded by the sea and sails,”
said Mikael Krafft, owner and president of Star Clippers. “We continue to look
for unique experiences to offer our health-minded guests, and the yoga classes
have been met with enthusiasm.”
Yoga teacher, author and life coach Inge
Schöps will join the seven-night Caribbean sailings on Star Clipper roundtrip
from St. Maarten, Jan. 24 and 31, offering yoga and meditation classes. Schöps
is based in Cologne, Germany, where she teaches, and she also runs yoga
retreats in the Mediterranean on the Balearic Islands of Mallorca and
Formentera. She is an author and has published yoga apps and e-books.
On Royal Clipper’s May 16
and 23 seven-night western Mediterranean cruises roundtrip from Civitavecchia
(Rome), Italy, guests can learn Ishta-style yoga, focusing on asana,
meditation, anatomy and yogic and tantric philosophy under the instruction of
Raphaella Rose. A yoga practitioner for 17 years, Rose promotes friendly and
accessible yoga, and has taught classes in the U.S., Great
Britain and Spain, running regular retreats alongside her class
schedule.
Yoga expert Christel
Vollmer will join the seven-night Balearic Islands
sailings on Star Flyer roundtrip from Palma de Mallorca, Aug. 1 and 8. She will
give two classes daily: 60 minutes of power yoga in the
morning and a 40-minute wind-down class at sunset, followed by meditation. Vollmer
brings many years of teaching experience to Star Clippers, having trained under
Bryan Kest, yoga guru to celebrities including Madonna, Cindy Crawford and
Sting.
All classes and lectures will
be conducted in English and are optional. Additional ship activities will be
offered as part of the standard daily program.
Other features of a Star Clippers cruise that
appeal to the health-conscious traveler include an abundance of fresh fruit
daily, healthy menu options and active shore excursions including watersports
and bike tours.
