Your yoga and meditation retreat begins with a one-on-one consultation exploring your current dietary habits, lifestyle, and goals. Working with a nutritional expert the emphasis will be placed on personalizing a plan that is ‘right for you’. During your stay, you can also choose to enjoy one of The Retreat Old Lan Farmhouse's signature bodywork treatments including a holistic massage and luxury facial. To maintain a healthy energetic balance, you need to care for your life-force energy. This yoga and meditation retreat helps with the balancing of these centers.
You can choose from various forms of Hatha yoga sessions and be guided by certified yoga instructors who will provide instruction on yoga techniques that you can also take home and incorporate into your daily routine for better physical, spiritual, and emotional health. Various breathing techniques can be used for relaxation, meditation healing, or to tap into the subconscious mind.
Your sessions will teach you how breathing can clear the mind, de-stress the body, and reprogram yourself to simply 'let it go'. As you read the sample itinerary, please keep in mind that it can be tailored to fit your specific goals.

Chakra energy renewal and balancing
Revitalize and restore your energy flow with this nurturing retreat session. Chakras are the seven main energy centers of your body. First mentioned in the ancient Vedas, the Hindu books of knowledge, and the root of yoga, these swirling vortexes regulate your energy flow. Every sense, feeling, and experience is connected to a specific Chakra. When you are stressed about something, the Chakra itself can become unbalanced and this can manifest itself as illness in your physical and emotional body.

Meditation is used to deepen your direct connection to, and respect for, the innate body and awaken every cell in the body, leaving you more alive than ever before.
