Day retreats create a meaningful pause to step out of the day to day responsibilities and reset. Through yoga practices and community connection Machelle and Tara invite you to join us in creating a sacred space to wind down slowly and deeply pause to reveal calm, clarity, and joy.
In this day-retreat, Tara and Machelle will co-lead a full-body, gentle yoga practice to untangle tension in the body and the mind. Machelle will then guide you through a nurturing Yin Yoga practice designed for the support of the joints, ligaments, and fascia of the shoulders, low back, sacrum and spine while reading mediative texts to soothe your soul.
After a break, Tara will guide you in winding down even more through a series of propped Restorative Yoga poses. With calming music and very little talking, Restorative Yoga consists of doing less in order to receive more. The practice soothes the nervous system, quiets the mind, and releases deeply held tension within the body in a completely passive way.
The combination Gentle Yoga, Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga will move progressively into a profoundly relaxing afternoon to remember the gift of who you are a little more clearly!
After our long afternoon practice, we will hold an optional POTLUCK at the studio from 5:30-8:00pm for some time to talk, laugh, and foster communication connection. Dishes to share can be brought to the studio to stay cool in our fridge or warmed in the microwave.
Cost: $75
