Vitality in the New Year

Retreat yourself to the majestic, coastal redwoods in the New Year with Leila Swenson for a weekend of Yoga and New Beginnings. Replenish your vitality, increase your strength, and invigorate your practice! 

With an emphasis on prāṇa (vital energy), yoga practices will include vinyasa, mantra, breathing exercises, meditation, restorative postures, and deep relaxation.

Be nourished with delicious vegetarian cuisine, coziness of warm and charming cottages, tranquility of the countryside, and connection to all beings… including deer, wild turkeys, rabbits, and quail!

“Our inner strength, stamina, and endurance depend on our access to the innate wisdom of our body and the immense power of our mind.”  -Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, PhD, The Secret of the Yoga Sutra
