Sfeer Studios ~ 200 Britton Dr. Chapel Hill, NC
Our retreat will be a full day of yoga practice, connection, learning, healing, rest and nourishment. In the morning we will work a specific sequence and type of alignment that helps calm the nervous system. Through activating the parasympathetic nervous system we’ll open up to rest, restoration and receiving nourishment from our self-care practices. Many options will be given while we practice on the mat, so students of all levels can get what they need from the physical practice.
In the afternoon we will have the luxury of a deeply restorative practice with Danielle Koppel (See bio below!). Yes, she will bring her harmonium and grace us with her beautiful voice while we soak up the goodness from each restorative pose. Danielle and I will also offer a hands on exploration of some self-care practices – from the East and West – that can help us continue this deep rest and balancing work long after our dreamy day together.
