a week of r & r with plenty of space to explore: Yoga & Meditation with kristin
This week has a strong focus on Retreat & Renewal, opening to the beauty of Be.ing rather than always Do.ing.
Our yoga will connect us to ourselves, dusting of the layers of stress, strain and the busy “business” of daily life!
We will play with classical postures and sequences ~ both flowing and holding, actively and passively, aligned and grounded. All practices will include guided meditations, breath work and modifications.
The Yoga studio will be ours for the week so you are also welcome to explore your own self-guided practices.
All levels are welcome and attendance will not be kept each day :) This time away is for you to do as you’d love to do!
