Retreat Highlights
- Our days are gently structured around practices that invite the body and mind to soften.
- Morning Meditation
- Begin each day with stillness. Our morning meditation practice creates space to arrive fully into the day with greater awareness, presence, and ease.
- Yin Yoga
- Slow, quiet, spacious movement to release tension and cultivate a deeper relationship with the body.
- Tai Chi & Qigong
- As the day cools, we’ll move through gentle Tai Chi and Qigong practices—cultivating groundedness, balance, and connection with the natural world.
- Time in Nature
- The river is at the heart of Jaali River Sanctuary. There will be time to kayak, walk, swim, explore, read, nap, receive a massage, or simply sit by the water.
- There is no pressure to fill every moment.
