What better way to start out your Thanksgiving Day than with an extended yoga practice for yourself? Our moderate level practice together will include both movement and stillness to create balance, leaving you energized and centered for the day. The 1 ½ hour practice will include energetic postures, pranayama (breath work), kriyas (breath-based or mantra-based practices to affect energy), and meditation.

This special day of thanks gives us the opportunity to focus on abundance, gratitude, and contentment during our formal practice together, creating a solid foundation to carry out into your life off the mat. It will also get your body moving and digestive fire activated before gathering with friends and family over autumn’s bounty.

Many of us find it challenging to carve out time for a retreat in the midst of our busy lives, especially if it means multiple days or even an overnight away. How about giving yourself an afternoon?

Regardless of your philosophical point of view, the Gita offers transformative teachings still relevant today. Through its beautiful and soul stirring verse, simple yet profound lessons are revealed that can offer all students a map for a life filled with compassion and open heartedness.

Through discussion, restorative yoga, and personal reflection, we will:

  • Create more compassion by seeing beyond limiting beliefs
  • Explore time tested tools for maintaining equanimity even amid uncertainty.
  • Balance mind, body, and heart through deep self-care
  • Discover roads to deep inner strength, fulfillment and joy
