Celebrate the Ecstatic Emergence of Spring Yoga Retreat in Doe Bay May 1-5, 2025
About the Retreat
Spring is a time of new life emerging. To celebrate the freshness of the season, our retreat will be designed to balance the creative/generative centers of the body according to the Chakra system. You can expect to stretch, strengthen, and groove your hips, invigorate your core, and use the vibration of your voice to clear any obstructions in your ability to freely express your creativity. Our retreat will be peaceful and playful, and together we'll form a special community experience sharing the gift of yoga and sharing ourselves with one another. Each day will include 1-2 yoga classes and an activity plus journal prompts will be offered around the class themes. The afternoons will be open for you to enjoy the beautiful scenery, the resort, and have any adventures you might like around the island. I highly recommend hiking Mt. Constitution and swimming in Mountain Lake!
