Join Melissa Krieger and Laura Benson for our bi-annual retreat on Salt Spring Island.
During this four night retreat you'll be nurtured with a variety of yoga and movement classes, delicious farm to table vegetarian meals, and plenty of time to chill out with like minded folks.
If you're needing time away to restore and rejuvenate this weekend is for you!
The yoga, mindfulness, and movement activities:
You'll get to try several styles of yoga such as hatha, flow, Yoga4Strength, and restorative. You'll be guided through mindfulness activities such as Yoga Nidra, meditation, and pranayama. We'll be out walking around the farm and surrounding areas on most days.
The level of yoga we offer is gentle to moderate with lots of room to play and explore. Expect plenty of time on the floor to roll around and chill out. You can also count on exploring sun salutations, standing poses like warriors and triangles, balances like half moon and tree, gentle backbends, and seated poses.
If you are after faster paced classes the style of yoga we teach may not be for you. We don't offer fast vinyasa flows, deep backbends like wheel or poses like handstands and headstands. Not that there is anything wrong with those poses or level of intensity! It just isn't us :)
*We do recommend that you have some experience with yoga to attend this retreat.*
