Advance your practice.Yoga retreats are an ideal way to elevate your practice, offering a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a supportive environment surrounded by like-minded individuals. This transformative experience helps you deepen your understanding of yoga on both physical and spiritual levels.
During your retreat with Abbe and Shireena, you'll enjoy up to two daily practices designed to challenge and inspire. Expect to sweat! The exertion level is set to "expect to sweat," making it suitable for all practitioners—whether you're just starting out or are an experienced yogi. Each class will meet you where you are, with options for modifications and advancements depending on your needs. Morning practices tend to be more invigorating, with a fiery energy that gets your body moving and your heart pumping. In contrast, evening sessions will slow down, allowing you to connect more deeply with your body, mind, and breath through calming, restorative practices. Throughout the retreat, you'll also have opportunities to explore yogic philosophy, refine complex poses, dive into meditation, and experience the power of chanting. This retreat offers more than just physical practice—it’s a chance to connect with yourself and the community in a meaningful, profound way. Come ready to explore, learn, and grow on this unforgettable journey! |
