About this Retreat
From an early age, David had a fascination in the human body. After a successful dance career in Broadway shows and the Metropolitan Opera, he now shares his passion of movement and mindfulness with others through yoga & meditation.
David is passionate about guiding his students to uncover their own potentials – physical and otherwise. With over 15 years of teaching dance, yoga and mat Pilates, he creatively combines his knowledge of all 3 disciplines in his classes. By linking physical poses with the powerful rhythm of the breath, yoga bolsters core strength while focusing the mind and enlivening the spirit. http://choyoga.com/
Details of this retreat
We welcome David Cho of San Francisco as our Guest Teacher for a weekend of grounding, relaxation, and community.
As we transition from Summer to Fall, we might feel the need to transform and start anew, ready for new ventures or fresh routines. We gather together at this retreat at the Equinox to reflect on our efforts and notice what is ready to harvest. We will focus our yoga practice on nurturing the body and mind after the hot months, cooling our body, mind and spirit to welcome the wonders of Autumn.
Relax and recharge practicing Yoga and Meditation in a serene natural setting with like-minded friends. This retreat is suitable for all levels of practitioners. There will be plenty of free time to relax, read a book, go on a hike, meditate, and deepen relationships with yourself and others!
