Weekend Renewal Retreat: Yoga & Thai Massage
Friday, February 10 – Sunday, February 12, 2017
Take time for yourself to get away and completely de-stress by indulging in a weekend of nourishing and relaxing yoga and meditation practices.
Leslie from Yoga Grove and Courtney from Om at Home Yoga are thrilled to offer their fifth fabulous retreat here at beautiful Sugar Ridge! Whether you are new to yoga and meditation and wish to learn the foundations of both and how to incorporate them into your life, or a seasoned practitioner seeking to deepen your practice, you will find this retreat both practical and inspirational.
Enjoy yoga and meditation each day, workshops on yoga philosophy and pranayama (breath work), and Leslie and Courtney’s signature restorative yoga with massage class – done in small groups of no more than 6 people at a time. Join us in our exploration of how these practices can transform your weekend, and learn practical ways you can bring yoga and meditation into your every-day and significantly improve your health as well as your outlook on life.
All activities and classes are completely optional, so that you can create your own retreat experience with us. And no previous yoga or meditation experience is necessary – everyone can learn and benefit from everything we experience together at this retreat.
Let the beauty and serenity of this special place feed your soul and lift your spirit as you indulge in some much-needed ‘you’ time!
