O ur connection to our inner energy source is often blocked and we seek energy and fulfillment by looking to the outside world running to sources such as food, shopping, alcohol and drama only to find that we are still starving. In this retreat we will use yoga, pranayama and meditation to awaken and balance our inner source of energy which is sustainable and filling…our ultimate source of joy and wisdom.

Kathy and Jen invite you to join them for an opportunity to step away from the demands and distractions of life and make space to practice yoga and meditation surrounded and supported by the beautiful old growth forest and healing waters of Breitenbush Hot Springs

Our yoga practice will include gentle flow, yin yoga (long passive stretches) and restorative poses. There will be moving, sound (chanting) and still meditations offered. There will also be time to nurture your soul with a hike, a soak in the hot springs or just relaxing.
