Florida in February is the ideal place to be. While most of North America is coping with sub-zero weather and snow, Palm Harbor's average temperature rests in the balmy 70s. Your stress will melt away as you relax in one of the country's most inviting vacation destinations – all while you learn the secrets of vibrant health and wellbeing. Each day includes magical sunrise meditations in the beautiful gardens, and revitalizing yoga sessions led by master Chopra Center instructors.
Breathe in the fresh ocean air and release the stress of daily life as Deepak and David teach you how to create greater health, restore your balance, and discover peace of mind.
The Innisbrook Resort is a convenient 30-minute drive from Tampa International Airport and offers easy access to the area’s white-sand beaches, nature preserves, and hiking and walking trails.

Jamieson Jones, M.D.
More than 15 years ago during his neonatal fellowship, Dr. Jones was working with HIV infected infants. At that time, neonatology and HIV care were on the frontier of medical science. The limitations of medical care challenged him to seek an expanded model of medicine, one where caregivers show up fully even when scientific medical advances fall short. Dr. Jones has researched and experienced many complementary medical therapies, and continues to expand his understanding of the spiritual, cultural, and ethical complexities of practicing medicine. Jamieson Jones is the co-author of Enlightened Healer, Enlightened Healthcare.
