Embrace Your Bliss & Backcare Yoga Retreat

~ April 30th-May 2nd near Asheville, NC ~

Slow down, nurture yourself, and embrace the bliss within and all around you, amidst the beauty and sacred energy of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  This Yoga and Backcare Retreat invites you to melt into a slower rhythm and be nourished by movement, breath, meditation and sound healing. 

Something magical happens when we travel together and immerse ourselves in yogic practice.  Spaciousness, openness to explore, deep conversation, insights, self-realizations, grounding and lightness all arise… and the ability to see more moments of joy, peace, bliss and appreciation. 

We’ll explore the 8 Limbs of Yoga and the Chakras (subtle body and energetic anatomy) in honor of cultivating peace, compassion, connection and presence… and nurturing heart-centered awareness in the way we live, love and embrace everyday life.

Mornings awaken a grounding energy with specialized Yoga for Backcare/Scoliosis practice, journaling, and meditation.

Afternoons are spacious with time to your sacred self to enjoy the views, trails, hot tub, pond or blueberry farm on the land… or be inspired by the local Asheville area - brimming with inspiring artists, waterfalls, cuisine, arboretums and more. 

Evenings reconvene with attunement to the subtle energies of our being - exploration of chakras, kirtan, mantra, and restorative yoga - to rest deeply and nourish the soul.

We’ll also have options for morning silence. There’s much to learn from short spaces of drawing consciousness inward (we’re conditioned to expend so much energy outward) - conservation of our energy creates space for calm, clarity and vitality.

We hope you’ll join us!
