About this Retreat
Gemma Farrell has studied various styles of yoga, including Iyengar, Vinyasa, Kundalini, Sivananda, Jivamukti, Yin, Insight, and Integral Yoga. Her current approach to teaching fuses the precise alignment principles of Iyengar yoga with the freedom and creativity of a Vinyasa Flow practice while incorporating the deeper release stretching and meditative aspects of Yin Yoga. Gemma sees yoga as a vehicle for self-discovery and a means for increasing awareness of the present moment, an opportunity to cultivate wisdom and compassion, and above all, an invitation to foster
a spirit of devotion and open our hearts to love and serve others. She currently owns and manages Gratitude Yoga, a yoga studio in downtown Princeton, NJ that seeks to foster loving kindness, inner peace, abiding joy, and a profound connection to oneself and others.
Details of this retreat
Please join us for an immersive weekend of yoga, meditation, and renewal. As autumn turns quietly toward stillness, we take time together to soften and listen inwardly as our shared practices guide us to the qualities of an awakened heart: kindness, compassion, joy, equanimity, generosity, gratitude, authenticity, vulnerability, and forgiveness.
Our days will open with Mindfulness Meditation, welcoming the morning with steadiness and ease. We will move together through a Midmorning All-Levels Vinyasa Flow to awaken vitality and later settle into an Afternoon Deep Stretching session to create space within. Evenings will close with a relaxing Yoga Nidra or a Sound Bath, inviting deep rest. There will be unhurried time for walking among the trees, journaling, resting, and sharing wholesome plant-based meals in warm community.
You are welcome to join us for either a two- or three-night stay, whichever feels most supportive to you. It would be a joy to welcome you into this circle of practice as we step gently into fall together.
