5th Annual
Embracing Balance Retreat
Yin, Yang and Yoga Nidra Retreat on Whidbey Island
with Laura Humpf

Friday, May 4 - Sunday, May 6, 2012

Come find balance on Whidbey Island while we explore the practices of yin yoga, yang yoga and yoga nidra. Yin yoga is a cool, quiet practice of holding poses for several minutes for the purposes of stretching and flexibility. Yang yoga is a heating, active practice used to build strength. Yoga nidra is a guided meditation used for deep relaxation. The retreat is located at the beautiful Yoga Lodge, and you can enjoy over 7 hours of practice and plenty of time to wander, read, write, nap, get a massage, lounge and simply be. There is a wonderful garden, a pond for contemplation and a sauna at the lodge as well as great hikes and small towns nearby to explore. All meals are scrumptious and vegetarian. All levels welcome and encouraged.
