A 3 Day Spring Renewal Weekend
The practices of yoga are unfailing in their effect to quiet and calm, to heal, to energize and deeply restore the practitioner. They promote a balance of mind and heart and an integration of inner and outer, of the individual with the Supreme.
Taking time for oneself to go on retreat is one of the many spiritual practices available to us. When we gather in community and engage the various practices of yoga, we experience a sloughing off of accumulated energy, the removal of fatigue, and return home renewed and refreshed.
We’ll gather on this extended spring time weekend on Thursday afternoon, April 12 for a 5-7 pm class, dinner and opening circle.
On Friday and Saturday we’ll begin with a 7:15-8:30 am pranayama (breath) and meditation practice, have a 10 am-12:30 pm morning active practice and a 5-6:30 pm restorative, forward bend and twist-licious experience.
We’ll finish on Sunday with pranayama, breakfast, active practice and lunch.
You are welcomed, on this classic spring weekend, to join us as we practice, heal, and play together.
