*SOLD OUT* Empower - Yoga and Meditation Retreat

What does it mean to live an empowered life? To take up space and claim your agency and purpose? This intimate, small group retreat offers an opportunity to explore empowerment using a yogic lens. Understanding deeply that we are already whole and complete, we’ll explore authenticity, purpose, and connection to our inner knowing. We’ll also explore the concept of “right action” as we navigate the challenges of the world with clarity and wisdom. 

It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection. –Bhagavad Gita

Together, we will:

• Explore strength, balance, and flexibility through the practice of asana (shapes) including warrior flow and powerful slow flow. 
• Connect to intuition and clear seeing by cultivating the qualities of stillness, quiet, and deep listening through mindfulness meditation.
• Discover the power of pranayama (breath control) for a toned, balanced nervous system.
• Learn about the concept of Dharma as illuminated through the Bhagavad Gita.
• Explore the power of softness and rest through the practices of Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga.

There will be ample time for building connections, nourishing our bodies with wholesome, fresh food, and enjoying the beauty of nature through hiking and relaxation. This retreat is carefully curated and thoughtfully designed with a trauma-informed approach, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility for individuals with different levels of mobility. While some prior yoga experience is recommended, all practices are designed to accommodate individuals with varying levels of experience. 

As part of this retreat, you’ll enjoy two nights of comfortable accommodations in the charming Thanksgiving House. All meals are included and Elohee does cater to dietary restrictions. For an additional fee payable directly to Elohee, you can schedule on-site massages and/or Reiki. You are free to attend any or all scheduled preferences based on your individual preferences and energy levels.
