Program
A yoga and mindfulness retreat is a reminder to slow down, breathe deeply, and find balance in your busy lives. It is an ideal opportunity to simply focus on reconnecting with yourself and becoming more present and aware. When you're more mindful, you're more open to new ideas, increased creativity, and an enhanced sense of purpose.
This retreat will include a variety of Hatha, Yin, and Yoga Nidra along with mindful meditation practices, experiential work, and group discussions. All workshops will be led by Angela Wilken.
