| Nearest Airports |
The Santa Barbara Aiport is the most conveinent, restful and usually most highly priced airport to fly into. |
Burbank Airport, aka "The Bob Hope Airport," is a sweet spot to land. About 15 minutes closer to Ojai than LAX, the tone of the airport is much groovier. |
LAX, just south of Santa Monica in Los Angeles, usually has the best deals. |
| Travel From the Airports |
| Rental Cars |
Most people flying into Southern California rent cars from the airport as they provide the most flexibility once you are here. The Car is an extension of one's individual freedom and spirit in Southern California, and the public transportation system has been neglected for a long time. However, you do not need a car once you are here, and there are creative alternatives. |

| The Weather |
Late October in the desert of Southern California is usually warm and sunny during the day and chilly at night. We reccomend bringing layers and a raincoat just in case. If you like to hike, bring the right shoes. There are many wonderful accessible scenic trails. |

Bring any yoga props that you anticipate needing. Props will not be provided
at any of the venues, but will be for sale at Bhavantu at Lulu B's. |

 |
| 1. Why is it called "The Crib"? |
We picked “Crib” to describe the event because we liked the
idea of a safe nurturing place in which to grow and play and practice with your friends.
The arms of the Padre National Forest cradle the valley in a crib-like
way, nurturing and supporting our practice. Usually gatherings of this sort
take place in ballrooms of giant hotels in urban centers and are called yoga conferences. |
| 2. Is it just for advanced yoga students? |
No. While some yoga experience is recommended (6 months of regular
practice), all these teachers are skilled at presenting workshops that
will be digestible and inspiring for all levels. Five 2.5-hour workshops over the course of a weekend can sound intimidating, but within the workshops
and among the various teachers, the physical practice will be mixed with breath work, meditation, chanting and dharma talks. So you do not have to “get
in shape” for the weekend. Just show up with an open heart and all
will follow. |
| 3. Can I just take a few classes, or do I need to do the whole thing? |
The Crib is a complete experience and it is not possible to take classes
a
la carte. We sell one ticket. If you then choose to only take some of
your classes, that is at your discretion, but no refund or discount will be granted. |
| 4. Can I take all my classes with the same teacher? |
No. Part of the design and fun of the Crib is to practice with different wonderful teachers. Also, to help ensure that everybody gets to take with the teachers
they want, each student is only allowed one workshop with each teacher. We can help you pick the teachers that are best for you. |
| 5. I am coming with a group of friends, can our schedules be coordinated? |
Of course! Just let us know your needs and we will do our best to weave you together. The sooner you sign up the easier it is to meet your request. |
6. How soon should I sign up?
|
The last six years of the Crib have been full. We reccommend securing your spot early. |
