A Befriending Your Body through Yoga Retreat!
|
General InformationThe retreat will begin Friday evening, October 9 and end at noon on Sunday. You can arrive any time between 5 and 6:30, and the first session will start around 7 pm. We finish around noon on Sunday.
Deposit is $200 and the balance is due when you arrive at Harmony Hill on October 9. An early bird price of $425 is available when you pay your deposit by September 1. If you pay your deposit after September 1, the retreat price is $450. Registration will close September 15. Other than yoga and meals, your time is entirely yours. There are lots of places for community as well as for solo reflection. There is a trail for walking, hot water for tea, and there are soft places to sit and relax. Bring your book, your journal, and/or your knitting! Harmony HillHarmony Hill is a retreat center on the Hood Canal about 90 minutes from Seattle whose original mission was to be a place where people "could experience renewal and deep well-being." I have been on a yoga retreat here, and I can attest that it is a lovely, restful, healing spot. Our yoga room is huge and faces the Hood Canal and has mountain views. Rooms will be double occupancy. If you have a request for a roommate, just let me know! You will be provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday; breakfast in the dining hall and a box lunch to take with you Sunday. The food is vegetarian and delicious. If you have food allergies, the chefs at Harmony Hill can accommodate you if you let me know on your registration form.

YogaWe will have 4 yoga sessions: 1 on Friday evening, 2 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday. Each session will begin with information and transition into exploration and practice.
I teach in the Viniyoga tradition which means in part that I will provide a variety of options for you pose-wise, and that you get to rest when you need to. As with all of my series, there will be handouts with key learnings, so you don’t have to remember everything. Yoga sessions are always optional, although the information at each will build upon previous sessions. The goal of this retreat is *not* to wear you out or make you sore. Rather, I want to help you learn just what your psoas is, why it is indeed mighty and how to take care of it. What's a "Psoas"?The Psoas is a term commonly applied to a group of muscles deep within your core. In our mini-lectures at the beginning of each class, you will learn what and where these muscles are, why their health is crucial to our well-being (physically and psychologically), and tips for taking care of them.
What's Befriending Your Body through Yoga?
Befriending Your Body through Yoga is offered to women who identify as plus-size and desire a body-positive yoga practice. I have been offering Befriending Your Body through Yoga classes for over 5 years in Seattle. These classes emphasize a compassionate listening between body and mind, a connection between the breath and the body, and adaptation to the body's needs on any given day.
