Program
This yoga medicine connects you at the spring equinox, the time when night and dark are equal in length and spring is opening fully. Join Sunny Brow Farm at this marker point of balance and use it as an opportunity to look at the balance of light and dark, inner and outer of your own world. Plentiful sessions filled with yoga, sound healing, meditation, inner dance, a personal sacred massage, and whole-food organic meals, this is a holiday full of ways to connect to Shakti within and around you, the creative force and love of the universe.
This is a great way to center, connect, and transform into spring or summer. Perfect if you are looking for some inspiration for your own spiritual practice and an opportunity to connect to the divinity within yourself. You will participate in five yoga medicine sessions with yoga, inner dance, meditation, sound bath, sharing spaces, and Yoga Nidra, join the ceremony for the spring equinox, and experience 90 minutes of massage.
Included excursions
During this holiday, you will take part in nature and Lakeland spring walks to explore right from your doorstep and receive guidance for medicine walks.
