Women’s Yoga Retreat:  Shine Your Light Inward 

February 28th, 2025 9am-4pm

The Trees: 1701 Pleasant Green Rd. Durham, NC

If self-care is a game changer… self-compassion/self-love is a universe changer.  Every step we take towards this reality of loving ourselves brings ease, resilience, vitality, health, wellness and joy. And, of course, this inner light ripples out to all those around us. Yet, the deep practice of kindness and care towards ourselves is often a challenging one. Luckily, we have a beautiful set of practices to help us clear away old patterns and replace them with the light of our own self-compassion and love.  Winter is the perfect time to gather in community and use these practices to ignite our inner flame of self-compassion. 

Our morning will include an all levels active asana practice, breath work. meditation and an invitation for journaling. There will be plenty time during our lunch break to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, the wonderful food and each other. In the afternoon, our practices will include gentle movement, restorative poses and a nourishing Yoga Nidra.  

This retreat is only open to women. If you have a Tween or Teen that would like to join let me know and together we can assess if it would be the right event for them to attend!

You can expect:

• Time to arrive and settle into this beautiful venue with a cup of tea and light snacks.
• A short opening circle to help us come together as a group, focus our intentions and create safe and sacred space for our day.
