Retreat
Autumnal Equinox Retreat
with Liz Doyle
Friday, September 21 - Sunday, September 23, 2012
Equinoxes tend to be balance points when it's easier to find stillness and go within. The morning classes will be vinyasa classes working with the energies of Nature, inviting us to explore our bodies as a conduit between Earth and Sky. Evening practices will be Yin Yoga and meditation.
The practices will include poses and meditations that facilitate the gathering of energy from the Earth and the Heavens, and practical tools for clearing your energy body and the aggregation of energy. Learn skills for energetic containment and accumulation for more vitality and balance in everyday life.
Our weekend together on this beautiful property will include nightly sauna, 2 evening practices/ 2 morning practices, organic vegetarian food, yoga on radiant heated wood floors, morning nature walks, meditation, time for reflection and/or excursions to local towns and site-seeing!
