The 2007 Yoga Journal Grand Geneva Conference is just days away! We are thrilled that you are joining us this year; we look forward to a weekend full of exciting classes and special events. We want to remind you of some important information to keep in mind as you prepare for the conference.
What to bring:
- Your mat! Yoga Journal does not supply mats. There will be mats for sale on-site, but it is recommended that you come prepared.
- Props! Instructors have included required props in their course descriptions, which can be found online at
http://www.yjevents.com/yjevents/gg07/index.cfm. If no props are listed, we recommend bringing the props that you typically use in your practice.
- Layers! Unfortunately, the Grand Geneva Resort was not designed to be a yoga studio - some rooms may be too cool and some will be too warm - we have limited control over the temperature, and suggest wearing layers to keep comfortable.
- Do not bring valuables to the conference. Unfortunately, theft has occurred at past yoga conferences. Yoga Journal and the Grand Geneva are not responsible for any lost or stolen items throughout the conference.
- A friend! Registration is still open and single passes will be available onsite. Single class passes also include the free special events of that day.
What to Know:
- The Grand Geneva Resort and Spa is located at 7036 Grand Geneva Way, Lake Geneva, WI 53147. Their phone number is 888.392.8000.
- Guest rooms at the main Grand Geneva property are SOLD OUT! However, if you still need accommodations, call the Grand Geneva for availability at their Timber Ridge Lodge.
